Patent number: 5147426Abstract: As gas-liquid centrifugal separator includes a housing having a gas separating chamber that communicates with a source of a gas sample. A rotating plate can be positioned within the gas separating chamber for the centrifugal separation of liquids and/or solid particulates from the sample gas. The gas separating chamber is maintained at a pressure differential below that of the source of the gas sample. The discharge passageway communicates with the separating chamber to remove the separated liquid and solid particulates. A pressure regulator assembly is connected to the discharge passageway and a source of a pressurized gas in order to be responsive to variations in the pressure status of the discharge passageway and thereby vary the flow of the secondary pressurized gas to render the pressure level in the discharge passage constant to enable a constant effluence of the separated liquid and solid particulates.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1991Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Koike, Junji Aoki

An opening can extend through the lower end of the housing block from the other side of the separating chamber to the exterior of the housing block. This opening is of a configuration complementary to a detachable mounted motor block for supporting a centrifugal separator. The centrifugal separator can be easily detached for maintenance of the gas liquid separating chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1991Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: Horiba, Ltd.Inventors: Junji Aoki, Hideki Koike, Soji Sakamoto

Patent number: 4150282Abstract: An extensible tape member is provided to extend along an object to be measured, and to permit a detection plate to rotate in unison with the pulling in and out movement of the extensible member. A pair of photo-electric elements is positioned with respect to the detection plate for developing detection signals in accordance with rotation of the detection plate. The detection signals are developed as a function of an amount of the extension of the tape member and the direction of the tape extension. The detection signals derived from the pair of the elements have a phase difference with respect to each other so as to determine whether the extensible tape member is being pulled out or in the housing of the digital scale, that is, the direction of the extension of the tape member. The detection signals are introduced into a logic circuit for developing control signals which are supplied to a display driver.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1977Date of Patent: April 17, 1979Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Junji Aoki, Tetsuo Iwase
