Patent number: 10935036Abstract: A control method and apparatus for startup of turbocompressors to avoid overpowering a driver of the turbocompressor. In a first embodiment, the control system monitors input signals from transmitters of various control inputs. When the input signals exceed threshold values, the control system begins to close the antisurge valve. In a second embodiment, the antisurge valve begins to close after a predetermined time measured from the time startup is initiated. In both embodiments, the antisurge valve continues to ramp closed until the compressor has reached its operating zone, or until the compressor's operating point reaches a surge control line, at which point the antisurge valve is manipulated to keep the compressor from surging.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Compressor Controls CorporationInventors: Saul Mirsky, Wayne Jacobson, Jeff McWhirter

Patent number: 8540498Abstract: A control method and apparatus for critical rotational speed avoidance in a compressor-expander set in a gas refrigeration system. By varying an opening of an antisurge or recycle valve, a shaft power used by the compressor in the compressor-expander set may be varied, thereby varying the rotational speed of the compressor-expander set to move it away from its critical speed zone. Additionally, a feedforward signal may be provided by a compressor-expander set control system to cause an antisurge valve for a recycle compressor to open upon a trip or shutdown of one compressor-expander set.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Compressor Controls Corp.Inventors: Saul Mirsky, Wayne Jacobson, David J. Hoogerwerf

Patent number: 7792561Abstract: A device for sensing analyte concentration, and in particular glucose concentration, in vivo or in vitro is disclosed. An optical conduit, preferably an optical fiber has an optical system at the proximal end of the optical conduit. A sensing element is attached to the distal end of the optical conduit, and comprises at least one binding protein adapted to bind with at least one target analyte. The sensing element further comprises at least one reporter group that undergoes a luminescence change with changing analyte concentrations. Optionally, the sensing element includes reference groups with luminescence properties that are substantially unchanged by variations in the analyte concentrations.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Javier Alarcon, Kristin Weidemaier, Terry J. Amiss, John D. Denuzzio, Christopher C. Herdman, Ross Wayne Jacobson, J. Bruce Pitner, Douglas B. Sherman
