    摘要: A liquid nitrogen cooling assembly incorporating a liquid detector which feeds back to control the nitrogen supply is disclosed. A pressure-controlled nitrogen source (e.g., a dewar) feeds liquid nitrogen to a heat exchanger mounted to a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) cell. The DSC cell is cooled as liquid nitrogen in the heat exchanger contacting the cell is vaporized into nitrogen gas. The exhaust (nitrogen gas and, occasionally, nitrogen liquid) is fed to a liquid detection/evaporator assembly. If liquid nitrogen is detected in the exhaust by the liquid detection/evaporator assembly, an indication is fed back using a liquid detection feedback loop to a pressure control device. The pressure control device reduces the amount of pressure on the nitrogen source in order to eliminate liquid in the exhaust. When there is liquid in the exhaust, the liquid detection/evaporator assembly also collects and vaporizes the exhaust liquid so that it can be properly vented to atmosphere in gas form. When liquid is no longer detected in the exhaust, the pressure control device increases the pressure on the liquid nitrogen source until liquid is detected in the exhaust. Subsequent cycles control pressure in this manner to keep the heat exchanger full of liquid nitrogen.

    摘要: Systems and methods for minimizing extraneous forces and calculating corrected weights of samples based on buoyancy factors for a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The TGA includes a balance chamber and a furnace configured to heat a sample. A null balance is provided in the balance chamber and is used to measure the sample weight change during heating. The furnace includes a cylinder open at the top to receive a sample. The bottom of the cylinder is closed except for a small hole that allows a thermocouple to pass through. An infrared heat source may be provided to heat the cylinder. The balance chamber can be thermally isolated from the furnace using an actively cooled plate and a system of heat shields disposed between the furnace and balance chamber. A thermocouple disk is further provided to limit gas flow in the furnace and increase reliability of sample weight measurements.

    摘要: A cushioning and positioning pad has a body formed from superposed layers of resiliently compressible foam material and a reinforcing sheet embedded between adjacent layers. The reinforcing sheet is of such stiffness as to resist contraction along its length and width dimensions, but is resiliently bendable in response to the application of a force along its thickness dimension. The reinforcing sheet resists undesirable contraction lengthwise and widthwise of the pad when the latter is encapsulated in a curable coating of material which shrinks as it cures.

    摘要: A sheet assembly adapted to occupy a position beneath a patient and an upper surface of a patient support. The assembly has overlying upper and lower pliable sheets formed of a material of low density gradient and having central sections from which upper and lower flaps extend laterally. The lower flaps may be secured to the patient support and the upper flaps may be elevated to and maintained at a level above that of the upper surface of the patient support, thereby providing a safeguard against the patient's falling off the support surface.

    摘要: A heat shield and insulation system comprised of multiple layers of metallic sheets separated by small protrusions or dimples in the metallic sheets. The multiple layers are formed by spirally winding a coil of the metallic sheet around the sample enclosure. The protrusions are formed by stamping the metallic sheets, preferably in a random patterns, such that one set of protrusions does not nest in the protrusions formed in a neighboring sheet. The spacing between the layers of metallic sheets is small, such that convection does not occur in the space between the layers. Accordingly, the heat transfer between the layers of the metallic sheets is primarily radiative or via thermal conduction through the gas. The two ends of the helically wound metallic sheet are insulated by multiple thin metallic disks.

    摘要: An optical system (10) has an image source (12), a first optical element (34), a second optical element (50), and an aperture stop (52). The first optical element (34) is positioned close to the image source (12) to generate anamophic field curvature of matching the display screen (16). The radiation is then directed to the second optical element (50) which corrects astigmatism of the radiation passing from the first optical element (34). The aperture stop (52) is provided adjacent to the second optical element (50). The system may be used in an infinite display optical system where the radiation would be directed through projector 14 to a screen (16). A mirror (18) is positioned to reflect the radiation from the screen (16) to provide an image to a viewer.

    摘要: A differential thermal analysis sensor consisting of two low-impedance differential thermopiles. Each thermopile consists of a series of thermocouples joined in series, with the measuring junctions of the thermocouples arranged around a uniform temperature measuring region, and the thermoelectric reference junctions of the thermocouples arranged around a uniform temperature thermoelectric reference region. The differential thermal analysis sensor can be used for single-sample heat flux differential thermal analysis measurements, dual-sample heat flux differential thermal analysis measurements, or power compensation differential thermal analysis measurements.

    摘要: A pollutant separator having a cooling coil and a filter includes a scrubber device. The scrubber has a tube with holes in the walls thereof for the passage of fluid to and from a closed collection chamber. A series of spring biased balls within the tube serve as scrubber elements. Extending around part of the outside of the tube is a slidable spring-biased ring valve having a shoulder on which fluid pressure is exerted through a passage extending from inside the tube. The ring valve slides over some of the tube holes causing fluctuations in pressure within the scrubber unit to enhance vibratory, scrubbing motion of the balls contained therein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis is a continuation-in-part of my copending application, Ser.
