Patent number: 10422635Abstract: A leveling system for identifying high and low areas of a surface relative to a reference plane to within a desired tolerance. A light source emits light in a level plane at a height above the reference plane. Several depth-indicator targets rest on the surface to be measured in an upright manner and are struck by the light in the level plane. Each of the depth-indicator targets indicates, based on color, whether the surface at that surface location is high, low, or level based on the location at which the light strikes the depth-indicator target. The color emitted by the target can be from a fluorescing layer of the target or light signals on the target controlled by a light-detecting receiver. A user can then quickly identify problem areas of the surface that need to be adjusted (e.g., raised or lowered).Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Inventors: Joseph Frank DeLorenzo, Randall Takeshi Takaki

Patent number: 7552618Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that include a thermal desorption unit, a chromatographic column, and an interface device between the unit and the column. The interface device controls the fluid flowing into the column, such as by providing additional carrier gas to maintain a substantially constant gas flow or velocity, by proving a controlled temperature increase, or by venting a portion of the gas received from the thermal desorption unit, thereby removing the dependence on the thermal desorption unit for such control. In some embodiments, the interface is a chromatographic injector. In certain embodiments, a transfer line from the desorption unit is coupled to the same port of the interface device as the chromatographic column. In some of these embodiments, this is accomplished by employing a special adaptor.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignee: PerkinElmer LAS, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Tipler, Heidi Grecsek, Frank DeLorenzo, Giuseppe Coppola
