Patent number: 9375528Abstract: Methods and systems for dispensing a fluid using an automated fluid delivery system are disclosed. A pump may be configured to force an aliquot of fluid from a fluid source into a fluid delivery channel. A processor may receive values of a property for the aliquot and the fluid source of the aliquot, and may use these values to determine a volume of the aliquot. The determined volume is compared by the processor against an expected volume to establish the amount of fluid being pumped by the pump per unit, such as time or revolutions. The processor controls operation of the pump to dispense a predetermined dose based on the amount of fluid being pumped by the pump per unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Bayer HealthCare LLCInventors: Charles Marsh, Larry McCutchan

Publication number: 20140249410Abstract: Syringe systems and flow control systems configured to detect information associated with a liquid material are described. The syringe systems may include a syringe body for housing the liquid material and an injector piston for expelling the liquid material out of the syringe through a discharge outlet at a distal end of the syringe body. Components of the syringe, such as an injector piston, may include sensors configured to measure and/or detect a property of the liquid material, such as concentration, pH, or radioactivity. The flow control system may include a pinch valve and a platen arranged about a fluid delivery channel. Flow within the fluid delivery channel may be controlled by increasing (squeezing the fluid delivery channel) or decreasing the distance between the pinch valve and the platen. Components of the flow control system may include detectors configured to detect properties of fluid in the fluid control channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2013Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: MEDRAD, INC.Inventors: Arthur E.

Publication number: 20080148876Abstract: A system incorporating a robot to inspect ferrous surfaces. Preferably, the robot is an articulated device having a tractor module for motive power and steering, a power module for electrical power and communications and additional motive power, and a third module for cleaning and inspection. The robot uses sensors and transmits signals to a computer through a tether and receives direction from an operator via the computer and tether. The computer continuously monitors the location of the robot and supports the robot during deployment. In a specific application, the robot travels the interior of a tank on a set of magnetized wheels. Prior to measurement, the tank surface is cleaned of deposits by rotary cutters and rotary brushes on the third module. The robot obtains at least thickness measurements via onboard ultrasonic transducers that contact the cleaned surface. A method for implementing inspection of ferrous surfaces is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2007Publication date: June 26, 2008Inventors: Vince Hock, Charles Marsh, Warren Whittaker, Frank Robb

Publication number: 20070177940Abstract: Means and method for implementing an unobtrusive on-grade barrier. One embodiment employs a concrete-lined trench over which a biased hinged plate is affixed to an end wall. The biased hinge holds the free end of the plate against a tab affixed to the other end wall, assuring the plate does not rise above grade. The plate is supported for vehicle passage by a sliding mechanism energized by an actuator controlled by a controller that may be automated or operated by security personnel. The barrier may be configured so that vehicles may approach from either end. Upon authorizing access to the driver, the vehicle is permitted to pass over the supported plate. If the driver is not authorized access, the support is slid out of the way and any vehicle attempting to pass slides into the trench.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2007Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: Charles Marsh, Julie Webster, Gordon Cohen

Publication number: 20050252775Abstract: An Electro-Osmotic Pulse (EOP) system is used to dewater structure, both natural and manmade. Preferably, the system employs durable, dimensionally stable anodes affixed to structure in a configuration designed to maximize electrical contact with the structure and minimize electrode gas generation. The anodes and cathodes are attached to a DC power supply that provides a voltage potential between them. DC power is cycled until the structure has been sufficiently treated. Select embodiments employ perforated metal pipes as cathodes for the purpose of transport and drainage of fluids. In select embodiments of the present invention, the cathodes are connected to variable resistors designed to reduce opportunity for corrosion of buried metal objects in the vicinity of the EOP system. Select embodiments employ a pre-specified pulse train of DC voltage pulses to migrate water from under a crawl space while moving available cations in the soil. Select embodiments also protect large structures such as concrete dams.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2005Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Philip Malone, Charles Weiss, Orange Marshall, Michael McInerney, Vincent Hock, Charles Marsh, Sean Morefield
