Patents by Inventor Clayton C. Pumphrey

Clayton C. Pumphrey has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10809234
    Abstract: An ultrasonic fluid flow meter can include a casing structure including a hook portion configured to engage a conduit to secure the casing structure to the conduit. The ultrasonic fluid flow meter can include a transducer block disposed within the casing structure and seating ultrasonic transducers. A distance between the hook portion and the transducer block along a direction transverse to the transducer block can be adjustable. The ultrasonic transducers can face the conduit when the casing structure is secured to the conduit via the hook portion.

  • Publication number: 20190265203
    Abstract: A sensor assembly is configured to mount transducers on a conduit, such as a pipe, for measuring properties of a fluid flowing in the conduit. The sensor assembly can include a sensor cradle capable of seating and maintaining a pair of transducers. The sensor assembly can include a mounting device arranged to couple the sensor cradle to the conduit such that the transducers maintained at the sensor cradle are oriented to allow transmission of ultrasonic waves traversing the conduit. The sensor assembly allows for mechanically stable coupling of the transducers to the conduit. The transducers can be fixed to the sensor cradle though an adhesive. In some implementations, the transducers can be oriented substantially orthogonal to each other.
