Optical Obscruation Smoke Monitor Having A Shunt Flow Path Located Between Two Access Ports

US Patent:
5420440, May 30, 1995
Filed:
Feb 28, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/202565
Inventors:
Albert E. Ketler - Murrysville PA
Christopher Kolesar - North Huntingdon PA
Assignee:
Rel-Tek Corporation - Monroeville PA
International Classification:
G01N 1506
US Classification:
250573
Abstract:
An obscuration type optical smoke monitor is provided for use particularly in dusty and dirty environments. The smoke monitor comprises a housing enclosing a smoke monitoring chamber; two access ports located opposite each other on the housing; a shunt air flow path located between said two access ports; means to conduct air from said access ports through an optical chamber; a light emitting diode at the first end of said optical chamber, which light emitting diode produces a light beam axially through the center of said optical chamber; a photo transistor at the second end of said optical chamber to receive the light bean and issue an electrical signal proportional to the received light intensity; and an electronic module which provides variable electronic output, generating an analog output essentially proportional of the optical obscuration caused by the smoke. Baffle means are provided to minimize extraneous light scattering from dust and dirt in the air,.

Automatic Gas Sensor Calibration System

US Patent:
2004005, Mar 25, 2004
Filed:
Aug 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/640384
Inventors:
Albert Ketler - Murrysville PA, US
Bradley Baker - Pittsburgh PA, US
Thayananthan Narayanan - Pittsburgh PA, US
Lauren Sargent - Trafford PA, US
Ronald Smathers - Ford City PA, US
Ehren Graber - Monroeville PA, US
Assignee:
REL-TEK - Monroeville PA
International Classification:
G01N033/00, G01N037/00
US Classification:
073/001070, 702/100000
Abstract:
An automatic system for calibrating gas sensors comprising a source of SPAN gas and a source of ZERO gas, and a means to control the flow of these gases to sensors. The system schedules and makes all required sensor value corrections and adjustments without human intervention. High resolution monitoring enables life extensions for the sensors, as well as higher accuracy monitoring than would be reasonably expected from low cost sensors.
