Patent number: 11137379Abstract: A nebulizer for a charged aerosol detection (CAD) system is disclosed. The nebulizer is provided with a spray emitter for generating a spray of droplets within a central region of a spray chamber. The central region is separated from an upper region by a horizontally projecting rib, which defines a passageway between the central and upper regions. The major direction of droplet travel within the upper region is substantially reversed with respect to the major direction of droplet travel within the central region. Larger droplets are unable to negotiate the turn from the central to upper regions and impinge on a rear surface of the spray chamber. Removal of larger droplets has the advantageous effect of enabling the detector to sense a smaller range of particle sizes, which establishes a relatively steady electrical current at the detector.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: DIONEX CORPORATIONInventors: Alan Daniel Yim, Paul H. Gamache, Ryan S. McCarthy

Publication number: 20070256677Abstract: Self-contained disposable single-use heat-generating apparatuses and methods for providing heat are disclosed that have adhesive formed on at least a portion thereof. One exemplary apparatus includes a heat-generating pack having a first bag layer defined by a first surface area bonded to a second bag layer defined by a second surface area and creating multiple pouches therebetween. A heat-generating agent is disposed within the pouches and adapted to consume air at a predetermined consumption rate in an exothermic reaction. At least a portion of one of the first surface area and the second surface area comprises an air permeable surface area having a predetermined airflow rate such that the heat-generating agent remains substantially evenly distributed within the pouches.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2007Publication date: November 8, 2007Inventors: Daniel Yim, Burl Bandy, Uma Ramachandran
