  • Patent number: 6854345
    Abstract: An assembly adapted to be affixed to a container which contains a sample fluid, and a method of affixing the assembly to the container, are provided. In particular, a contact pressure can be applied to a surface of the container, such that a particular arrangement, which has a portion situated within an opening of the container, is affixed to the container without piercing the surface of the container. For example, the container can be a tank, the particular arrangement can be a sensor arrangement, and a further arrangement can be used to affix the particular arrangement to the container. Moreover, the contact pressure preferably can be applied to an exterior surface of the container so that the further arrangement may be more accessible to a user of the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20040140812
    Abstract: An arrangement containing an electrical assembly and a method for cleaning the electrical assembly are provided. In particular, a first portion of the arrangement may be connected to a wall of an enclosure, and a second portion of the arrangement extends from the first portion. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the second portion is adapted to contain the electrical assembly, and when a fluid is dispensed from a position above the arrangement, the fluid contacts substantially the entire second portion in order to clean the electrical assembly. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a housing of the arrangement is connected to the second portion, and the housing and/or the second portion is adapted to contain the electrical assembly. Moreover, when the fluid is dispensed from a position above the arrangement, the fluid contacts substantially the entire housing and/or the entire second portion in order to clean the electrical assembly.
