  • Patent number: 4891629
    Abstract: A binary gas analyzer instrument and analysis method for determining percent composition of a cooling gas within a turbine generator is disclosed. The instrument includes a measurement block having a plurality of cells therein, some of which comprise sealed cells containing a known reference gas. One of the cells comprises a measurement cell and contains the binary gas mixture to be evaluated. Each of the cells contains a thermistor and a heater is provided for keeping the cells at a substantially constant temperature. An electric current supply provides a constant current to each thermistor for selfheating, and the gas within each cell conducts heat away from the thermistor at a distinctive rate.

  • Patent number: 4670347
    Abstract: An article of manufacture, and process of producing same, which is utilized for the enhanced attenuation of circuit generated radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, i.e. RFI and EMI. The article of manufacture comprises a centrally disposed silver shielding conductive layer which captures circuit produced electromagnetic radiation and directs same to ground so that it does not affect the environment surrounding the electronic circuitry. The process of producing the article involves the silk screen printing of a silver-solvent compound onto a lower polyester-plastics material thus obviating the need for an adhesive between the silver conductive layer and the lower polyester material. The invention also includes the use of the particular article as a shield for the attenuation of circuit produced radiation.
