Publication number: 20230160865Abstract: Methods and systems for sensing headspace vial presence are described herein. In one embodiment, a system can include a sample probe, a fluid source in fluid communication with the sample probe, one or more of a pressure sensor and a flow sensor in fluid communication with the sample probe, and a processor configured to: (a) receive a first set of signals from the one or more of the pressure and flow sensors, execute an ejection procedure to remove a sample vial from the sample probe, receive a second set of signals from the one or more of the pressure sensor and the flow sensor during step (b), (d) detect whether the ejection procedure is successful from the first set of signals and the second set of signals, and (e) in response to the detecting, initiate one or more actions selected from the group consisting of: a remediation and an alert.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2021Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Jonathan Michael FRENTZEL, Thomas E.

Patent number: 9308939Abstract: An extendable frame work vehicle offering enhanced versatility, safety and effectiveness. The vehicle includes an adjustable frame with front and rear portions that extend or retract with respect to each other. The front portion is supported by a first pair of wheels and said rear portion is supported by a second pair of wheels. Each wheel is independently driven and steered. The vehicle also includes an engine mounted on the rear portion of the frame. Incorporated into the vehicle is an electro-hydraulic assembly which enables extension and retraction of the adjustable frame. The assembly includes a sensor-responsive microprocessor controller, at least one hydraulic pump, at least one hydraulic drive motor, and at least one valve network.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Extendedquip, LLCInventors: Chris Osswald, Walter A. Osswald, Marcus F. Dack, Kenneth Buelt, Thomas E. Price, Jr., Alan Severns, Jeffrey A. Wierschke, Joe A. Racz, David R. Bauer, Justin D. Gasal

Patent number: 5439593Abstract: Apparatus for retaining a sorbent bed without permitting voids to be created and that can be readily handled by automated systems is disclosed. A solid phase extraction apparatus is disclosed that is most preferably comprised of a body that contains a sorbent bed and a cap that forms an axial sliding seal with the body. A sleeve is provided to retain the body and create an outside geometry similar to that of a standard glass vial. The sliding seal permits voids in the sorbent bed to be eliminated by axial compressive sealing forces. In a most preferred embodiment, conical sealing surfaces are provided at each end of the disclosed cartridge to facilitate removal of the cartridge after the axial sealing forces are released. The cap and the body are also provided with surfaces compatible with luer fittings, that provide flexibility and permit the use of the invention with existing fluid flow systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1993Date of Patent: August 8, 1995Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventor: Thomas E.

Patent number: 4562703Abstract: A vent tube which is particularly useful for horizontal cryostat penetration comprises a plurality of conduit sections joined by mating rings which facilitate the incorporation of relatively deep circumferential grooves in the conduit sections. Thermal contact springs, preferably in the form of a single strip are disposed in these circumferential grooves so as to provide a means for transfer of thermal energy from the cryostat interior to the exterior either for general refrigeration requirements or for liquefaction of coolant vapor which may have boiled off from the cryostat interior. The cryostat which incorporates the present invention is particularly useful in housing NMR medical diagnostic imaging magnet and coil systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1984Date of Patent: January 7, 1986Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Russell S. Miller, Thomas E. Price
