  • Patent number: 6138517
    Abstract: The invention concerns a mass flowmeter for measurement of the mass and the density of a fluid flowing through a measuring pipe. The mass flowmeter uses the Coriolis principle for establishing mass and density. The mass flowmeter comprises at least one, preferably two, measuring pipes. Each measuring pipe is provided with an oscillation generator and a first oscillation detector and a second oscillation detector. The oscillation generator is meant for making the measuring pipes oscillate, and the oscillation detectors are meant for detecting oscillations in the measuring pipes when fluid flows through the measuring pipes. The oscillation detectors consist of armatures in the form of bar magnets extending into a ring coil. The coil is provided with a first winding and a second winding which are connected in series, and which are arranged at a distance from one another along a longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 4159646
    Abstract: The invention relates to ultrasonic apparatus for measuring flow quantities and related parameters of a liquid flowing with a free surface in a channel. Two transducers are provided with one being mounted in the channel below the level of the flowing liquid. The other transducer is mounted on a float member which is floatable on the surface of the liquid. The transducers are effectively positioned from each other and a measuring path is formed therebetween which has components in the vertical direction and in the direction of flow. There is a measuring circuit for determining the transit times of the ultrasonic waves in both directions and an evaluating circuit for determining the desired quantities with regard to the transit times.

  • Patent number: 4159647
    Abstract: The invention relates to ultrasonic apparatus for measuring flow quantities and related parameters of a liquid flowing with a free surface in a channel. Two transducers are mounted in longitudinally spaced relation to each other in the channel and below the level of the flowing liquid. The transducers are positioned and directed so that the effective measuring path therebetween is reflected from the underside of the liquid surface level and has components in the vertical direction and in the direction of flow. There is a measuring circuit for determining the transit times of the ultrasonic waves in both directions and an evaluating circuit for determining the desired quantities with regard to the transit times.

  • Patent number: 4097719
    Abstract: An electric storage heater assembly which includes a core and a resistance heater for the core. A charging switch is in series with the resistance heater and an electric comparator for operating the switch has two inputs connected to first and second controls which are responsive to the instantaneous temperature of the core and the final temperature of the core for the preceding charging period. The first comparator input is also connected to auxiliary controls which sense indoor and outdoor temperatures and provide signals which are summed with the signal which represents the core temperature.
