  • Mounting for industrial instrumentation
    Patent number: 8003899
    Abstract: A flexible, modular mounting system for an industrial process terminal or similar instrumentation. The instrumentation may be panel mounted or DIN rail mounted using an enclosure having only a minimum number of unique components. An instrument housing is included for containing various electronic components of such a terminal. The housing is adapted to mate with a DIN rail, and can easily be fitted with mounting brackets that allow the housing to be used in a panel mounted arrangement. In the latter case, a user interface module is located on an opposite side of a panel wall and connected to the appropriate electronic components of the instrumentation through an opening provided therein.

  • Fluid Spray Device and Methods of Use
    Publication number: 20110089253
    Abstract: A fluid spray device adapted to use compressed gas to discharge a fluid is described. Embodiments of the device comprise a tank containing a fluid under positive pressure, and a wand through which the pressurized fluid is discharged. The device is typically operationally coupled to a truck pneumatic system to pressurize the fluid.

  • Method for weighing apparatus calibration management
    Patent number: 7441436
    Abstract: A weighing apparatus calibration method uses a test mass, a material and a terminal to calculate and compare the total weight of the test mass and material to determine if the total capacity of the weighing apparatus has been calibrated. A system for managing calibration of a weighing apparatus is also described.
