  • Integrated coriolis mass flow meters
    Patent number: 10209113
    Abstract: An integrated flow meter includes a support and one or more flow sensitive member(s) integrated with the support. The support is formed by using an injection molding process that overmolds material over an outer surface of the flow sensitive member(s). The materials for the support and for the flow sensitive member(s) preferably are polymeric materials.
    Type: Grant

  • Coriolis mass flow rate sensor
    Patent number: 8887578
    Abstract: A subassembly of a Coriolis flowmeter is fabricated from a single monolithic piece of elastic polymeric material. The subassembly includes two flow-sensitive members and a base integrally connected to the two flow-sensitive members. The two flow-sensitive members include straight sections, and are substantially similar and parallel to each other. Flow passages are drilled along the straight sections of the two flow-sensitive members, and drilled entrances are sealed using the elastic polymeric material. A temperature sensor is fixedly attached to a flow-sensitive member for measuring a temperature of the flow-sensitive member and communicating the temperature to a metering electronics. The metering electronics determines a calibrated flow rate of fluid flowing through the Coriolis flowmeter that accounts for the temperature.

  • Disk drive including an actuator latch with a pivot ball in a latch post opening and between a VCM top plate and the latch
    Patent number: 7660075
    Abstract: A disk drive includes a housing including a support post extending from the housing. The support post defines a post axis. The disk drive further includes an actuator rotatably coupled to the housing. The disk drive further includes a VCM top plate physically coupled to the housing and comprising a ferromagnetic metal. The disk drive further includes a VCM magnet magnetically coupled to the VCM top plate. The disk drive further includes an actuator latch contactable with the actuator. The latch includes a post opening. The latch is pivotably mounted about the support post with the support post disposed in the post opening. The disk drive further includes a pivot ball disposed in the post opening and partially protruding from the latch between the VCM top plate and the latch along the post axis.
