David Allen Pane 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).

  • Device for measuring the oxidizable carbon of a liquid and a method for the use thereof
    Patent number: 6741084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device useful in the photo-oxidation of a sample liquid and in the measurement of the oxidized carbon content thereof. The device includes a cell, at least two elongate probes, and a temperature sensitive element. The cell includes a rigid light-transmissive outer wail that encloses a continuous predetermined internal volume The elongate probes—providing collectively the ability to measure temperature and conductivity—penetrate through the rigid outer wall and extend substantially into the cell's internal volume. At least one of the elongate probes is hollow at least partially along its length, the temperature sensitive element being positioned within this bore. A methodology involving the use of the device is also described.

  • Instruments for measuring the total organic carbon content of water
    Publication number: 20030040122
    Abstract: An improved instrument for measuring the total organic carbon content of water provides substantially instantaneous TOC measurements that are repetitively calibrated, provides substantially improved accuracy of results in a circuit providing improved noise rejection, allowing faster response, and provides controlled dilution of the sample stream to extent the useful range of the instrument.
