摘要:
Apparatus for railway cars to handle the ingress and egress of passengers through a door opening where the apparatus selectively provides at the exterior of the car at the door opening an adjustable height platform, steps or a ground-to-car floor platform lift. The apparatus is storable within the railway car and extendable exteriorly of the railway car where it can then be selectively conditioned for a desired passenger handling mode as a platform positioned at a desired height between the car floor and ground, a series of steps extending between the car floor and ground, or a platform lift movable between ground level and car floor level.

The invention provides a sensor with a reference electrode and a flowing electrolyte which is particularly useful for measuring the ion concentration of a process solution. The invention includes a sensor having a pressurized reservoir which provides flow of an electrolyte, a non-metallic solution ground and a resistance temperature device bonded to a non-metallic solution ground. The invention provides sensors with greater accuracy and stability by minimizing or eliminating ingress of contaminants from a process solution through the external junction of the sensor.

摘要:
A gas chromatograph for measuring the amounts of selected sample gas components such as oxygen and carbon monoxide. The system comprises a high-temperature (600.degree. C.) zirconia cell detector supplied on one side with a continuous stream of oxygen flowing at a constant rate. A voltage source connected to the zirconia cell transports all of this oxygen to the other side of the cell, resulting in a constant background cell current. Sample components from the chromatographic column are injected sequentially into the oxygen stream. When oxygen is injected the cell current increases due to the increase in total oxygen available for transport through the cell. When carbon monoxide is injected, it is fully combusted with the oxygen, and the current correspondingly decreases due to reduction of the oxygen available for transport. The deviation in cell current with reference to the background current is integrated for each component to produce output signals indicating the amount of the component.

A level of a chemical in a fluid is accurately measured by an analyzer having an electrode assembly separated from the fluid by a membrane. The electrode assembly is energized to provide a steady state signal and a pulsed signal, both of which indicate the level of chemical in the fluid, but with only the pulsed signal being substantially unaffected by fouling of the membrane. The pulsed signal and the steady state signal are used to determine a predicted value that the steady state signal will have in the absence of fouling. The predicted value is then used to correct the steady state current to compensate for fouling of the membrane.
摘要:
An analyzer for detecting a selected chemical (such as oxygen) in a process fluid includes a plurality of electrodes that are separated from the fluid by a membrane that is permeable to the selected chemical, each of the electrodes when energized producing a signal in response to the selected chemical in the fluid. The selected chemical level in the process fluid is determined based on the signal produced by a first one of the electrodes, and the determined level is used with the signal produced by a second one of the electrodes to detect whether the membrane has become faulty (e.g., fouled by materials in the process fluid).
