  • Patent number: 5945073
    Abstract: Ozone generation cells using corona discharge to convert molecular oxygen to ozone are cooled by thermoelectric cooling devices clamped between the outer surface of the cell and a heat sink. The heat sink is preferably a finned structure permitting heat dissipation by air passing between the fins, avoiding the need for water cooling of the cell.

  • Patent number: 4740966
    Abstract: A plurality of differential analog input channels are multiplexed into a programmable gain amplifier providing four input ranges. The circuit is self-calibrating under microprocessor control with periodic measurements taken of internal channels for analog ground voltage, analog reference voltage and the voltage reference temperature in addition to the analog input signals. The output of the isolation amplifier is fed into a sample and hold circuit and, under the control of an analog input register into an analog to digital converter. An earth barrier separates a primary side which includes the input channels, optically isolated bidirectional MOSFET relays coupled to the input channels, a programmable, selectable gain multiplexer and the input to an isolation amplifier from a secondary side by means of opto isolators bridging the earth barrier.
