  • Patent number: 5147426
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5100441
    Abstract: An improved gas liquid separator assembly is provided having a housing block with an interior gas liquid separating chamber. A sample gas introducing conduit and a sample gas discharging conduit can extend from the exterior of the housing block to one upper surface of the separating chamber. 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.

  • Patent number: 4662755
    Abstract: A gas analyzer provided with apertures on the optical paths from a light source through a cell to sensors and multi-layer interference band-pass filters on the respective optical paths. The structure makes it possible to change the distance between each sensor and the corresponding aperture, or the change the size of the aperture, for changing the maximum angle of incidence of light on the filters which is sensed by the sensors to thus change the central wavelength of the filters.

  • Patent number: 4306294
    Abstract: A new and effective combination is disclosed wherein both a calculator and an electronically tuning radio receiver are governed by common control circuitry and a microprocessor implements the major portion of the calculator and also implements or governs the electronically tuning radio receiver and a digital timekeeper. For example, it is possible for the operator to listen to a radio program of a desired frequency and continue operating the calculator whenever he likes, while the calculator is in use. If the radio receiver is provided with a time switch function, then it is possible to obtain on-time information and immediately execute calculations on the one-time information obtained, thus enhanceing maneuverability.

  • Patent number: 4150282
    Abstract: 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.
