Patent number: 5780302Abstract: A novel flexible package for an oxygen reference solution has been developed. This package is made from a laminated film including preferably polypropylene as the inner layer, aluminum foil as the middle layer, and polyester as the outer layer. The seams are heat sealed, while an optional access device for allowing access to the solution after the storage period, is attached to the inside wall of the bag without breeching the middle barrier layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1996Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Chiron Diagnostics CorporationInventors: Dennis R. Conlon, Kevin J. Sullivan, Robert B. Green

Patent number: 5750906Abstract: The invention features a sample probe and reagent selector valve that enables selection among multiple functions of withdrawing a biological sample from a syringe or capillary into a fluid parameter sensor module, providing calibration and quality control reagents to the sensor module, and flowing a washing fluid through intake passages to prevent cross-contamination and clogging. The valve and sensor module are used in conjunction with an automated analytical instrument, such as an automated blood analyzer, to increase the speed of the analysis, minimize cross contamination between samples, and to overcome the inherent dangers of using the conventional needle/syringe or capillary methods of withdrawing fluids to be tested. The design of the valve provides performance benefits in the form of lower sample and reagent waste volumes, elimination of auxiliary valves and manifolds, and superior performance and reduced cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1996Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: Chiron Diagnostics CorporationInventors: Norman K. Parker, James E. Rasmussen, Richard L. Schulkind, Kevin J. Sullivan, Robert B. Green

Patent number: 5596405Abstract: A portable apparatus for continuous real-time measurement of airborne met, comprising an isokinetic sampler, a sample line, a sampling interface device, a pump, and an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). A method for measurement of airborne metals by use of such an apparatus is also described, in which the sampling interface device accommodates the high, continuous sample collection flow-rates necessary for isokinetic sampling while at the same time permits sample air to be introduced into the plasma at preferred moderate flow-rates. A method for field standardization of the ICP-AES is also described whereby a relationship between aqueous solutions of metals and their aerosol counterparts is established, thus later allowing the field use of the aqueous metal solutions to simulate a particular range of airborne metal concentrations.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1995Date of Patent: January 21, 1997Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Michael D. Seltzer, Robert B. Green

Patent number: 4184127Abstract: An apparatus and method for utilizing the opto-galvanic effect to perform ectroscopic or analytic investigations of atomic or molecular species. A sample of the substance to be analyzed is vaporized in an analytical flame, gas discharge tube, high temperature furnace or the like, and the vapor is irradiated with chopped or pulsed variable wavelength monochromatic light. The electrical resistance of the vapor is monitored as the frequency of the radiation is tuned through one or more electronic transition frequencies of the substance. The resistance spectrum resembles the optical absorption spectrum of the species in the vapor. The optogalvanic effect may also be used to frequency lock a laser to a transition frequency of a substance in a gas discharge cell.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1978Date of Patent: January 15, 1980Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of CommerceInventors: Robert B. Green, Richard A. Keller, Gabriel G. Luther, Peter C. Schenk, John C. Travis

Patent number: 4163312Abstract: Metal melted and poured into molds, mounted on a conveyor, at a first station. Metal cools to rolling temperature during conveyance to second station where hydraulic ram ejects ingots from molds. Ingots are immediately fed to rolling mill. Molds have interior refractory linings. Embedded in linings are electrical resistance heating elements that heat exterior side surfaces of ingots, between first and second stations, to prevent those surfaces from reducing below rolling temperatures while interior temperatures of ingots reduce to levels suitable for rolling.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1978Date of Patent: August 7, 1979Inventor: Robert B. Green
