A method of controlling a liquid crystal display (LCD) integrated within a sensing device for operation in cold temperature is provided. The method includes providing electrical power to the LCD, providing an electrical signal to the LCD to update displayed information, measuring the ambient temperature proximate the LCD and making adjustments to the power and update information supplied to the LCD based on the ambient temperature. Another aspect of the invention includes a field device including an LCD, an electronic control module configured to provide power and communication signals to the LCD, and a temperature sensor coupled to the electronic control module. The electronic control module is configured to measure the temperature proximate the LCD and control power and communication supplied to the LCD based on the temperature at the LCD.
摘要:
A pressure sensor including a deformable sensor body formed of a compressible material. A deformation sensor is embedded in the deformable sensor body and has an electrical property which changes in response to deformation of the deformable sensor body. Electrical connections which extend from outside the deformable sensor body to the embedded deformation sensor to provide an indication of an applied line pressure or differential pressure.

A process device providing total fluid flow control is provided. The device includes a closure mechanism disposed in a flow conduit. The closure mechanism, which is preferably an iris-type diaphragm, provides a variable internal diameter. The device includes a differential pressure sensor for sensing the differential pressure on opposite sides of the diaphragm. A controller receives an indication of differential pressure and generates a control signal to an actuator that actuates the closure mechanism. The closure mechanism, differential pressure sensor and controller create a closed-loop flow controller in a single process device.
摘要:
A remote process seal system is provided. The seal system includes at least one remote process seal assembly coupled to a process pressure transmitter via a coupling filled with an incompressible fluid. The incompressible fluid is contacted by at least one getter to reduce instabilities caused by the release of hydrogen gas accumulating over time. In one aspect, a layer of getter material is deposited or placed within the pressure transducing portion of the remote process seal assembly.
摘要:
A resonance frequency vibration power harvester includes an elongate body, a first vibration energy harvester device and a weight. The elongate body includes a first end, a second end and an interior channel extending through at least a portion of the elongate body between the first end and the second end. The second end of the elongate body is for connecting to a vibration source such that the first end is cantilevered. The first vibration energy harvester device is attached adjacent the first end of the elongate body, and the weight is joined to the interior channel to adjust a resonant frequency of the elongate body.
