  • DETECTING CYANIDE EXPOSURE BASED ON THIOCYANATE MEASUREMENT IN SALIVA
    Publication number: 20230218226
    Abstract: In an example, a method of detecting cyanide exposure of an individual includes: measuring a thiocyanate level of the individual which includes placing saliva of the individual in contact with a chemical indicator to measure the thiocyanate level and measuring thiocyanate (SCN?) catalyzed by enzyme rhodanese of the individual; comparing the measured thiocyanate level to a preset thiocyanate threshold to determine whether the measured thiocyanate level is above the preset thiocyanate threshold indicating a level of cyanide poisoning for which a medical procedure is recommended to manage health effects of the exposure; and performing the medical procedure if the measured thiocyanate level is above the preset thiocyanate threshold and not performing the medical procedure if the measured thiocyanate level is not above the preset thiocyanate threshold.

  • Detecting cyanide exposure based on thiocyanate measurement
    Patent number: 11589808
    Abstract: In an example, a method of detecting cyanide exposure of an individual comprises measuring a thiocyanate level of the individual, and comparing the measured thiocyanate level to a preset thiocyanate threshold to determine whether the measured thiocyanate level is above the preset thiocyanate threshold indicating a level of cyanide poisoning requiring immediate medical assessment.

  • System and method for detecting cyanide exposure
    Patent number: 11272878
    Abstract: In an example, a method of detecting cyanide exposure of an individual comprises measuring a thiocyanate level of the individual, and comparing the measured thiocyanate level to a preset thiocyanate threshold to determine whether the measured thiocyanate level is above the preset thiocyanate threshold indicating a level of acute cyanide poisoning for which medical treatment is recommended to treat health effects of the exposure.

  • Detonation gas delivery unit
    Patent number: 4485739
    Abstract: The detonation gas for gas-detonatable blasting charges used in surface mining and the like is supplied by a portable self-contained delivery unit connected to the blasting charges by a network of small flexible tubing, which unit blends pressurized fuel and oxidizing gases from separate supply sources in predetermined proportions and regulates the separate flows of such gases in response to the backpressure imposed by the tubing network to maintain such proportions in the gas blend delivered to the tubing network. The separate gas flows are controlled by servo-actuated flow control valves actuated by a control gas pressure which is applied or released in response to such backpressure.
