  • Patent number: 10209170
    Abstract: Meter electronics (20) and method for obtaining a flow fluid viscosity at a predetermined reference temperature are provided. The meter electronics (20) includes an interface (201) configured to exchange communications, a storage system (204) configured to store a predetermined reference temperature (211), a measured fluid viscosity (214), a measured fluid temperature (215), and a temperature-viscosity relational data (218) that relates temperature to viscosity over a predetermined range of flow fluid temperatures, and a processing system (203) coupled to the interface (201) and to the storage system (204), with the processing system (203) configured to obtain the measured fluid temperature (215), obtain the measured fluid viscosity (214), and generate a reference temperature viscosity (227) using the measured fluid viscosity (214) and the temperature-viscosity relational data (218), with the generated reference temperature viscosity (227) corresponding to the predetermined reference temperature (211).

  • Patent number: 6532706
    Abstract: A gridless drop ceiling assembly having ledger boards mounted on opposing longitudinal walls of a room and extending the length of the opposing longitudinal walls, the ledger boards being mounted proximate to the height of the desired drop ceiling and in parallel relationship, a plurality of mounting studs positioned on the ledger boards, the mounted studs extending outwardly from the surface of the ledger boards, the mounting studs on opposing ledger boards being in aligned relationship, a plurality of ceiling beams generally rectangular in cross section having parallel upper and lower surfaces and parallel side surfaces and parallel opposing end surfaces, the ceiling beams dimensioned to the distance between the ledger boards, the ceiling beams having formed in the opposing end surfaces thereof an L-shaped slot in communication with one surface of the ceiling beam, the L-shaped slot having a depth at least equal to the height of the mounting stud on the ledger board for the slidable positioning of and locki
