Patent number: 8552719Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing soluble and insoluble contaminants from highly purified and ultra-pure liquids having a bulk resistivity in excess of one megohm-centimeter by establishing laminar flow of the liquid in a cylindrical chamber through an electromagnetic field transverse to the direction of flow, to induce mobility of the constituents. The wall of the chamber forms a cathode and a central rod forms an anode in the chamber. The mobilized constituents are transported either to the anode or the cathode, where the material will adhere and agglomerate with other constituents. Systems are provided utilizing the method and apparatus for purifying and analytically evaluating highly purified and ultra-pure water.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Microfier, Inc.Inventors: Arthur John Ackermann, Glen Walter Wildermuth, David Brian Blackford

Patent number: 8459069Abstract: A security device for use in association with a security pin includes a tag body, at least one sensor, a spring lock and a magnetic lock. The tag body has a body aperture formed therein adapted to receive the security pin. The spring lock and magnetic lock are situated within the tag body. The spring lock has a spring lock aperture formed therein and the magnetic lock has a magnetic lock aperture formed therein each in registration with the body aperture. The spring lock and the magnetic lock are each adapted to engage the security pin when in an engaged position and release the security pin when in a released position. The spring lock and the magnetic lock need to both be in the released position to successfully remove the security pin form the security device.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Inventor: Glen Walter Garner
