System And Method For Automatically Adjusting Gas Sensor Settings And Parameters
US Patent:
2012019, Aug 2, 2012
Filed:
Jan 31, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/018039
Inventors:
Fatos Adami - Stallings NC, US

Assignee:
SCOTT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Monroe NC
International Classification:
G01N 7/00
US Classification:
73 3105
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed including an automatic sensor excitation voltage adjustment feature, a multi-range concentration feature, and a single calibration feature. The automatic sensor excitation voltage adjustment feature may include a transmitter having an associated microprocessor that provides an initial voltage to an associated sensor. The sensor may include a microprocessor, and as the voltage changes a correction signal may be relayed from the sensor microprocessor to the transmitter microprocessor. The correction signal may be used by the transmitter microprocessor to adjust the voltage applied to the sensor. The multi-range concentration sensor feature may include an amplifier associated with the sensor/microprocessor to create gain settings used to optimize sensor resolution by changing a gain value associated with the sensor. This, in turn, enables a single sensor to be used for a variety of different concentration ranges, as desired by a user. The single calibration feature enables a sensor to be calibrated at a single gas concentration value, and thereafter be used for a variety of different concentration range applications. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Method For Correcting Weight Measurement Errors During Microwave Heating
US Patent:
6268570, Jul 31, 2001
Filed:
Sep 17, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/398130
Inventors:
Byron E. McLendon - Matthews NC
Edward Earl King - Charlotte NC
Edward Earl King - Charlotte NC
Assignee:
CEM Corporation - Matthews NC
International Classification:
G01G 900, G01N 2500, G01N 502
US Classification:
177 1
Abstract:
The invention is a method of measuring an apparent weight of a substance, while concurrently measuring a surface temperature of the substance and an ambient air temperature surrounding the substance, then predicting buoyancy forces acting upon the substance based on these temperature measurements. Thereafter, the true weight of the substance can be determined by correcting the apparent weight by the predicted buoyancy forces acting upon the substance.
