Patent number: 10684268Abstract: A sensor includes a resonant transducer, the resonant transducer being configured to determine the composition of an emulsion or other dispersion. The resonant transducer has a sampling cell, a bottom winding disposed around the sampling cell, and a top winding disposed around the bottom winding. The composition of the dispersion is determined by measuring the complex impedance spectrum values of the mixture of the dispersion and applying multivariate data analysis to the values.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: BL Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Cheryl Margaret Surman, Jon Albert Dieringer, Radislav Alexandrovich Potyrailo

Patent number: 9335188Abstract: A pressure management system for sensors is provided. The system includes a sampling assembly. The sampling assembly is configured to hold a first portion of a test fluid. Further, the system includes at least one sensor disposed proximate to the sampling assembly. The sensor is configured to determine at least one property of the test fluid. The system also includes a housing that is disposed around the sampling assembly. The housing defines a fluid chamber that houses a balancing fluid. Furthermore, the system includes a flexible device disposed in the fluid chamber that draws a second portion of the test fluid. The flexible device is configured to balance pressure exerted by the test fluid on the sampling assembly by exerting pressure on the balancing fluid with the second portion of the test fluid.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jon Albert Dieringer, Roger Neal Johnson, Cheryl Margaret Surman

Patent number: 9176000Abstract: A system for measuring component fluid levels in a multi-phase fluid is provided. The system includes a sensing assembly. The sensing assembly includes a primary coil and at least one secondary coil. The primary coil is wound around a sampling container that holds the multi-phase fluid. The secondary coil is disposed proximate to the primary coil and each of the at least one secondary coil is electrically connected to at least one capacitive element. Further, the system includes an analyzer that is inductively coupled to the at least one secondary coil. The analyzer is configured to measure a response of the at least one secondary coil in response to an excitation signal provided to the primary coil.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Cheryl Margaret Surman, William Guy Morris, Jon Albert Dieringer
