    摘要: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for high speed, selective detection of vapors of specific compounds, particularly nitrogen-containing compounds, utilizing, a bypass branch and high speed gas chromatography for improved selectively and sensitivity of detection. A system with two gas chromatographs (GC's) alternating in series with two pyrolyzers provides two time intervals of detection in a downstream detector, with the second time interval containing signals delayed and further separated relative to signals from the first time interval. The bypass branch, in diverting a portion of the flow of gas samples from passage through the second gas chromatograph and second pyrolyzer, avoids interferences in the first time interval of detection from non-GC-retained compounds decomposed in the second pyrolyzer. Also disclosed is an arrangement for rapid, precise heating of vapor concentrator tubes in which vapors are rapidly focussed and then injected into a GC, and for rapid, precise heating of the GC's.

    摘要: An analytical instrument for the immobilization of antigens to be detected in an immunoassay using mangetizable beads. The instrument includes a probe containing magnetizable particles and a plurality of magnetic devices for applying a magnetic field gradient to the particles in the probe reservoir. The probe is movable between the plurality of magnetic devices and at least one of the probe positions may be used to immobilize the magnetic particles in the fluid medium and at least another position may be used to resuspend the particles in a fluid medium.

    摘要: Disclosed is a walk-in inspection apparatus for active production of air samples containing vapors of explosives, drugs, or other substances carried by a person. The apparatus includes a U-shaped booth with an open end through which a person walks past walls which may contain a metal detector, then stands facing a vertical end wall. In the collection of an air sample a blower outside the booth sucks a large volume of air around the person and horizontally through a vertical array of shaped funnels in the end wall and through ducts connected to a collection manifold for subsequent analysis. Infrared heaters in the end wall heat the clothing and skin of the person during sampling, and many small nozzles extending through the end wall direct low volume, high momentum pulsed jets of puffs of air at the person to dislodge vapors, expel air from beneath clothing, and disrupt stagnant boundary layers of air near the person. Curved shapes of portions of the booth and funnels provide smooth, low loss airflow, and height and distance sensors facilitate automatic operation of the inspection apparatus.

    摘要: Disclosed is a walk-in inspection apparatus for active production of air samples containing vapors of explosives, drugs, or other substances carried by a person. The apparatus includes a U-shaped booth with an open end through which a person walks past walls which may contain a metal detector, then stands in front of a mesh screen facing a vertical end wall containing a vertical array of shaped funnels. Light-transmissive wall sections near the end wall help encourage entry of the person into the booth, and the light colored mesh screen draws attention of a person in the booth away from the darker funnels. In the collection of an air sample a blower outside the booth sucks a large volume of air around the person and horizontally through the funnels in the end wall and through ducts into a collection manifold for subsequent analysis. During sampling, infrared heaters in the end wall heat the clothing and skin of the person and many small nozzles extending through the end wall direct pulsed jets or puffs of air at the person to dislodge vapors, expel air from beneath clothing, and disrupt stagnant boundary layers of air near the person. Substantially all of the air drawn around the person is collected, and curved shapes of portions of the booth, funnels, and ducts provide smooth, low loss airflow to the collection manifold.

    摘要: A controller is disclosed for controlling the operation of selected electro-mechanical devices without the use of a microprocessor or similar computing machines. The controller includes a memory programmed to output a data word each time the memory is advanced to its next successive memory address. Responsive to the data word, an electro-mechanical device, identified by the data word, is actuated to perform its function. As the function of an electro-mechanical device is completed, a sensor develops a control signal for altering the internal count of a counter. The counter, in turn, advances the memory to its next address for outputting its next data word. The cycle continues as the memory is advanced through its addresses and selected electro-mechanical devices are successively actuated to perform their assigned functions.
