  • Patent number: 5905208
    Abstract: A system for measuring fluid mass flow in a conduit in which there exists a pressure differential in the fluid between at least two spaced-apart locations in the conduit. The system includes a first pressure transducer disposed in the side of the conduit at a first location for measuring pressure of fluid at that location, a second or more pressure transducers disposed in the side of the conduit at a second location, for making multiple measurements of pressure of fluid in the conduit at that location, and a computer for computing the average pressure of the multiple measurements at the second location and for computing flow rate of fluid in the conduit from the pressure measurement by the first pressure transducer and from the average pressure calculation of the multiple measurements.

  • Patent number: 5887769
    Abstract: A sink disinfecting apparatus consisting of a dual compartment container having a water reservoir in one half and a disinfectant reservoir in the other half. The heated water reservoir is connected to the house cold water supply and discharges to a venturi which aspirates disinfectant from the disinfectant reservoir which then discharges through a valve to a disinfectant tray holding a sponge or other type of cleaning pad. A mixture of water and disinfectant is discharged to the tray by operating a push button valve.
