Title: Enhancing voltmeter functionality
Inventor: SULLIVAN DANIEL BARBER
IPC: G01R31/50
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: Enhanced voltmeter leads (100A", 100B") includes load circuitry (105) having  a test load (115) that can be switchably coupled between the leads (100A", 100B") to help identify faults in a circuit under test (110). In certain embodiments, the value of the test load (115) can be any appropriate value s et according to parameters or characteristics of the circuit under test (110). In these embodiments, the value of the test load (115) can be set manually or automatically or both. The types of faults that can be identified include a short-to-ground, an open circuit, and a high (e.g., corrosive) resistance. T he leads (100A", 100B") include a switch (130) whose setting is adjustable to couple and decouple the test load (115) between the leads (100A", 100B"). Th e switch (130) can be located in the leads (100A", 100B") or in a lead handle (100C) of the leads (100A", 100B") for easy access by a user/technician. The  leads (100A", 100B") can also include a fuse (135) or circuit breaker for safety reasons. The leads (100A", 100B") can be used systematically to help identify the type and location of a fault from voltage readings. The voltage  readings are obtained at various points in the circuit under test (110) with  the switch (130) both closed and open. Conventional test leads or the leads,  that include the switch (130) to couple/decouple the test load (115) can be used if the load circuitry (105) is integrated into the voltmeter (108') or if the load circuitry (105) has a separate coupling or connection to the voltmeter (108) inputs.

Title: Gas sensor with phased heaters for increased sensitivity
Inventor: DASGUPTA PURNENDU K
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 2000-07-20
Abstract: A concentrator and sensor assembly are disclosed that use phased heaters to multiply the concentration levels that can be eluted, relative to operation with a single interactive element having a sorbent material to increase the concentration of desired gas constituents at a detector. This is accomplished here by providing two or more interactive concentrator elements that are selectively heated in a time phased sequence so that each of the interactive elements becomes heated and desorbs gas constituents into the sample fluid stream at substantially the same time that an upstream concentration pulse, produced by heating one or more upstream interactive elements, reaches the interactive element. This produces a multiplication effect that significantly increases the concentration of the gas constituents at the detector, thereby increasing the effective sensitivity of the detector.

Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A rinse water additive dispenser for use in an automatic washing machine is disclosed. The dispenser includes a top, a valve assembly and a base releasably connected to the top. The valve assembly is retained within a valve housing located in the top and is able to move within the housing. The valve assembly includes a resilient disk valve and counterweight that are interconnected by a valve post. The resilient valve is located, enclosed, or compressed between the top and base portions when the top and base are connected. The top and base can be connected with threads, tongue and groove structures etc. When subjected to the centrifugal force of a spin cycle, the movement of the counterweight within the device causes the resilient disk to unseat from between the top and base allowing fluid communication between the dispenser and the tub of the washing machine. Optionally, the dispenser can have an elliptical cross section to promote proper orientation of the dispenser during the spin and rinse cycles. Further, a protective material can be affixed to the outer surfaces of the top and base portions of the dispenser.

Title: Method and apparatus for fractionation using conventional dielectrophoresis and field flow fractionation
Inventor: WANG XIAO-BO
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for discriminating matter in a chamber having an inlet port and an outlet port utilizing dielectrophoresis and field flow fractionation. A carrier medium is introduced into the inlet port and is directed from the inlet port to the outlet port according to a velocity profile. A programmed voltage signal is applied to an electrode element coupled to the chamber to form a dielectrophoretic force on the matter. The dielectrophoretic force is balanced with a gravitational force to displace the matter to positions within said velocity profile in the carrier medium to discriminate the matter. A chamber having a top and bottom outlet port may be utilized to withdraw a first portion of a carrier medium from the top outlet port at a first, controllable fluid flow rate and to withdraw a second portion of the carrier medium from the bottom outlet port at a second, controllable fluid flow rate.

Title: Apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving uplink power offset information in a mobile communication system supporting hsdpa
Inventor: PARK JOON-GOO
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2003-02-17
Abstract: A radio network controller (RNC) transmits a power offset for controlling transmission power of an uplink high speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH) when a user equipment (UE) enters a handover region, in a mobile communication system including the RNC, a Node B connected to the RNC, and the UE located in one of at least two cell areas occupied by the Node B. The Node B transmits data to the UE over a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) and the UE transmits information indicating reception of the data to the Node B over the uplink HS-DPCCH. The RNC informs the UE of a power offset for determining a transmission power increment of the uplink HS-DPCCH, if it is determined that the UE is located in the handover region. The RNC informs the Node B of the power offset so that the Node B can determine a threshold value for determining information indicating reception of the data, depending on the power offset.
