  • Publication number: 20150153210
    Abstract: A Coriolis flow meter having a first end structure, a second end structure, and a flow path extending therebetween. The first and second end structures are connectable with a conduit such that fluid flowing in the conduit enters at one of the first and second end structures, travels along the flow path, and exits at the other of the first and second end structures. The flow path has a measurement tube having first and second ends and a damper assembly. The damper assembly has at least one damper element disposed between the first end structure and the measurement tube first end. The measurement tube is not fixed with respect to the first end structure. At least one transducer is coupled with the measurement tube and is operative to sense vibration of the measurement tube and output electrical signals representative thereof.

  • Patent number: 7543623
    Abstract: An insulated glass window assembly including a cordless integral shade with level correction, a sliding follower, and an air permeable spacer assembly. Cords are eliminated by confining the window covering movement to one dimension. Level correction is achieved by pivotally connecting the shade bar to the supporting operator or shade support, so that the bar can be re-leveled by raising or lowering the bar against the IG spacer. The follower slides in a track on one side of the IG. The spacer includes an air passageway between the desiccant chamber and the space between IG space, and the hole is covered by an air-permeable patch to prevent unwanted leakage of desiccant into the viewable area.

  • Patent number: 7082982
    Abstract: A retrofit blind assembly for a doorlight. The assembly includes a frame, a transparent panel, and a blind snap-fitted to the frame. The blind actuator includes gears and a toothed belt for positive, non-slip actuation. A pair of blind guides are mounted on the opposite sides of the frame to receive and guide the opposite ends of the blind. The mounting system includes a pair of brackets that can be secured between the doorlight and the door and upon which the assembly can be hung. The mounting system also includes a pair of movable catches on the lower portion of the frame snap that can be locked behind the doorlight to secure the lower end of the assembly.
