Title: The determination of electrochemically active components in a process stream
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 1987-07-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining electrochemically active components in a process stream is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a sample in which the components are contained, and depositing the components onto a working electrode, altering the environment of the working electrode so that it is immersed in a supporting electrolyte by effecting a matrix exchange and stripping the deposit electrochemically active components from the working electrode into the supporting electrode. A method and apparatus utilize a measurement cell which comprises a vessel (10) for containing the supporting electrolyte and a mercury electrode (150). A flow injector (16) is used to inject a flow with the sample electrolyte into the vessel so that the sample electrolyte surrounds the mercury drop electrode and then sinks away from the mercury drop electrode (150) to the bottom of the vessel where it is removed via an outlet (20) to thereby leave the mercury electrode (150) immersed in supporting electrolyte. The deposited impurities are stripped from the supporting electrolyte using variable time domain transient electrochemical stripping voltammetry. The sequence of steps including the deposition of the impurities from an injected flow of electrolyte sample are repeated under microprocessor control (50).

Title: Thermal control units
Inventor: BLACKBURN ARTHUR MALCOLM
IPC: H01H37/54
Filed: 1987-07-28
Granted: 1990-01-10
Abstract: An element protector control for protecting the electrically powered heating element of a kettle against overheating has primary and secondary (or back-up) modes of operation. The primary protection mode utilizes a dished, snap-acting bimetal (22) which is oriented so that the side of the bimetal which is convex when the blade is cold faces the heating element head (24), and the bimetal is held in close thermal contact with a rear surface of the element head. The bimetal determines the condition of a pair of switching contacts (32, 33) provided in the control. The bimetal is mounted in a carrier (21) which is spring biassed towards the element head and, for providing the secondary protection mode, the carrier is formed of a thermoplastics material so that in the event of failure of the primary protection in an overtemperature situation so that the element temperature continues to rise, the carrier will collapse towards the element head, and the collapse of the carrier is arranged to disconnect the control from its power supply terminals.
