Title: Temperature measurement device
Inventor: STEPHEN CHARLES NUNN
IPC: G01K17/08
Filed: 2015-09-29
Abstract: A temperature measurement device 2 comprising a base 14, a plate 16, and a temperature sensor 22. The base 14 is more thermally insulating than the plate 16. The plate is disposed on top of the base. The temperature sensor or thermocouple is coupled to the first surface of the plate such that it measures a temperature of the plate. The plate may have a high emissivity value of at least 0.8, 0.9 or 0.95, and may be made of metal coated with a black paint. The base may be made of plastic. The device may be used to measure the temperature of an object such as an aircraft or aeroplane, wherein the emissivity of the plate is greater than or equal to the emissivity of the aircraft. A measurement taken by the temperature sensor may be compared to a predetermined threshold temperature and provide an output as an indication of whether or not the aircraft should be removed from the environment. The device allows accurate prediction of the temperature of external aircraft skin which may be lower than the air temperature of the environment due to radiative heat losses to the night sky.

Title: Device and method of a supercritical fluid system for detecting analytes using a low pressure detector
Inventor: EDWIN E WIKFORS
IPC: B01D15/40
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: Splitting a mobile phase output by a fluid system such as a supercritical fluid system into a split flow stream and a primary flow stream by reducing pressure of the split flow stream and causing volumetric expansion of the split flow stream. Volumetric aliquots of the volumetrically expanded split flow stream are inserted into a dilution flow stream to provide a diluted split flow stream. The diluted split flow stream is directed to a low pressure detector, such as a mass spectrometer. The mobile phase may be output by a separation device such as a chromatography column having a stationary phase for separating analytes. The mobile phase may be split with a device including a passive splitter 120 and a shuttle valve 130. The primary flow stream may be directed to a pressure maintenance device such as a back pressure regulator (BPR). The flow splitter provides a controllable means for directing a very small portion of mobile phase to a low pressure detector without interrupting flow of the portion of the mobile phase remaining at high pressure.

Title: Shopping facility assistance system and method to retrieve in-store abandoned mobile item containers
Inventor: Donald R High
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2016-07-15
Abstract: A central computer system 106 identifies a mobile item container 104 in a retail shopping facility 101 as being abandoned, directs a motorized transport unit 102 through the facility to the abandoned item container and causes that motorized transport unit to physically attach to the abandoned mobile item container.
