  • Particle collection device
    Patent number: 9415339
    Abstract: A cartridge assembly includes a body portion (14), that is thermally and electrically non-conductive, defining an opening (28), a bus bar (18) coupled to the body portion, the bus bar being thermally and electrically conductive, and a clamping bar (20), including a scalloped surface configured to oppose the bus bar, the clamping bar being thermally and electrically conductive. At least one of the bus bar and the clamping bar is biased toward the other of the bus bar and the clamping bar.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2016
    Assignee: SMITHS DETECTION MONTREAL INC.
    Inventors: Geoff Beyer, Simon Feldberg, Clifford Lansil, Mark Lekhter, Vladimir Rasper

  • Document sampler and method of sampling a document
    Patent number: 7800056
    Abstract: A document sampler can be arranged to receive a document in an insertion area of the document sampler. With such arrangements, a document can be directly inserted into a document sampler without an extra step of swabbing a document with a sample collection device. By eliminating the extra step of swabbing a document, the efficiency of sample detection is improved, sample detection is performed more rapidly, and operating costs of sample detection are decreased.
