Patent number: 11366035Abstract: A pressure measurement device is provided. The pressure measurement device includes a pressure gauge having a hermetically sealed cavity. The cavity includes a pressure transferring media. The materials chosen for both the pressure gauge and the pressure transferring media are selected so that thermal effects on the pressure measurement device are minimized. The pressure transferring media includes a first material and a second material. The material for the pressure gauge and the materials for the pressure transferring media, in particular the first material and the second material, may be selected so that the volume of the pressure transferring media substantially fills the volume of the cavity of the pressure gauge within a particular temperature range. The pressure measurement device includes a pressure reading mechanism coupled to the pressure gauge and operative to convert a displacement of the pressure gauge to a pressure measurement reading.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: ANDERSON INSTRUMENT CO., INC.Inventor: Richard J.

Publication number: 20180156768Abstract: A pasteurization system including a flow sensor connected to a pasteurization tube to determine a flow rate of the food substance, a temperature sensor connected to the pasteurization tube to determine a temperature of the food substance, and a processor. The processor receives the flow rate from the flow sensor, receives the temperature from the temperature sensor, selects either a flow rate threshold from a plurality of flow rate thresholds based on the temperature received from the temperature sensor, each flow rate threshold associated with a respective temperature or a temperature threshold from a plurality of temperature thresholds based on the flow rate received from the flow sensor, each temperature threshold associated with a respective flow rate, and compares the selected flow rate threshold or the temperature threshold to the respective flow fate or the respective temperature, and determines a position of a valve based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Vikram A. Bose-Mullick, Gary Ratajczak, Richard J. Bond

Publication number: 20170192028Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a replaceable sensor module and an assembly housing. The assembly housing contains an assembly housing processor and an electrical connector connected to the processor. The replaceable sensor module has an enclosure adapted to be mounted in a position to sense a process variable, a process variable transducer positioned in said enclosure so as to be exposed to the process variable, and a non-volatile memory having stored therein specific profiling data for the sensor module. The assembly housing processor has data representing a desired sensor assembly output characteristic, and is responsive to receipt of specific profiling data and to the data representing the desired sensor assembly output characteristic to calibrate the sensor assembly to provide the desired sensor assembly output characteristic when connected to the sensor module having the specified profiling data. Radial and axial seals are provided for the openings in the assembly housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2016Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Richard J. Bond, Vikram Bose-Mullick, Apurva Naik, Joseph Mecca, Richard J. Bond, Vikram Bose-Mullick, Apurva Naik, Joseph Mecca
