Patent number: 10976289Abstract: To determine a corrected flow rate value of a mobile phase flowing in a liquid chromatography (LC) system, a flow rate of the mobile phase at a selected reference position in the LC system is measured to produce one or more flow rate values. A model of the LC system is applied to the flow rate value(s) to determine the corrected flow rate value(s). The model includes a distribution of capacitive elements and resistive elements arranged according to a topology of the LC system. The capacitive and resistive elements are representative of system and solvent properties affecting flow rate while operating the LC system. The system and solvent properties may be properties affecting the flow rate while operating the LC system under dynamic conditions.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Klaus Witt, Konstantin Shoykhet, Philip Herzog, Iwan Bouzid

Patent number: 9803627Abstract: A pump unit comprises a primary piston pump, a secondary piston pump, and a flow path adapted for fluidically connecting in series the primary piston pump and the secondary piston pump. The pump unit's duty cycle comprises a delivery-and-fill phase, in which the primary piston pump supplies a flow of liquid to the secondary piston pump, and during the delivery-and-fill phase, the flow of liquid supplied by the primary piston pump is partly used for filling up the secondary piston pump and partly used for maintaining another flow of liquid dispensed across the secondary piston pump. The flow path comprises a heat exchanger, wherein liquid supplied by the primary piston pump passes through the heat exchanger before being supplied to the secondary piston pump.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Klaus Witt, Konstantin Shoykhet, Philip Herzog

Patent number: 9360006Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a pump unit, where the pump unit includes a primary piston pump having a primary piston and a secondary piston pump having a secondary piston. The primary piston pump is fluidically connected with the secondary piston pump. The primary piston pump includes an inlet valve and an outlet valve, and the pump unit operates periodically according to a pump cycle. The method includes determining a fluid pressure of fluid dispensed by the pump unit, and performing a closed loop control of a position of the primary piston in dependence on the fluid pressure of the fluid dispensed by the pump unit during a first time interval of the pump cycle.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Philip Herzog, Konstantin Choikhet, Klaus Witt, Herbert Anderer
