Title: Wick-based liquid emanation system with child-resistant and miniaturization features
Inventor: ZEMBRODT ANTHONY
IPC: F24F6/10
Filed: 2000-12-27
Granted: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A vapor emanation system includes a plastic housing having a socket portion and an electric plug portion. A decorative miniaturize container containing liquid to be evaporated by heat, has a body for storing the liquid and a neck connected to the body for engaging the socket portion of the housing for supporting the container on the housing. The neck has a passage there through and a retaining ring is fixed in the passage. A hole extends through the ring. A wick having an upper portion extending through the hole of the retaining ring also has a lower portion extending down into the body of the container for absorbing liquid from the container and for moving the liquid into the upper portion of the wick by capillary action. A tangential electric heater in the housing heats the upper portion of the wick above the neck to evaporate liquid from the wick. A retaining pin extending through the wick below the neck, extends radially beyond the wick by an amount which precludes upward extraction of the wick from the retaining ring to prevent a child from removing the wick and being exposed to the liquid.

Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging system for optical automatic analysers, especially fluorescence readers. On the sample side, the imaging system contains a cylindrical lens array (6) and a prism array (7), which is arranged upstream of the cylindric al lens array. The prismatic effect of the prisms (7a-7c) of the prism array (7) lies in th e direction of the cylinder axes of the cylindrical lenses (6a-6c). Together with a telescopic imaging system (8, 11), the inventive imaging system creates a number of parallel cylindrical focussing volumes between the cylindrical lens array (6) and a detector array (10), these focussing volumes being slanted towards the optical axis of the telescopic system in relation to the vertical. The arrangement enables the detection of fluorescence with a large aperture in one direction, and at the same time enables depth selective analysis of the fluorescence signal, especially the discrimination of the fluorescent radiation originating from the areas around the bases of the sample containers from the fluorescent radiation originating from the solution above. With the focussing volumes that are slanted towards the bases of the sample containers, the imaging system ensures that the fluorescence from the areas around the bases of the sample containers (5a-5c) is detected with the same sensitivity even when the heigh ts of the bases vary in the individual sample containers.

Title: Methods for restoring the heat transfer coefficient of an oligomerization reactor
Inventor: EWERT WARREN M
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: The specification discloses a method for cleaning an oligomerization reactor after making a higher olefin in the reactor. An olefin is reacted in the presence of a catalyst comprising an aluminum alkyl to form an olefin reaction product. For example, ethylene can be trimerized in the reaction to produce 1-hexene. The reaction also causes a co-product residue of the catalyst to form on the interior surface of the reactor. The interior surface of the reactor is then contacted with an alcohol under conditions effective to remove at least a substantial amount of the catalyst residue from the interior surface of the reactor. The catalyst-removing step can be carried out by combining an alcohol with the process medium used in the reactor. The combined medium can be used to remove both the accumulated polymer co-product and the accumulated catalyst residue from the reactor.

Abstract: 12 An escalator combplate load and obstruction sensor is capable of monitoring and indicating both horizontal and vertical force and loads. The combplate is mounted for limited horizontal and vertical travel in response to corresponding horizontal and vertical loads. Both the horizontal and vertical travel are resolved into a displacement at an angle to both the horizontal and vertical, and the displacement is applied to a sensing portion of a loadcell which generates an electrical output proportional to the applied displacement and force. An indicator is coupled to the loadcell to indicate a relationship between the displacement applied to the loadcell and at least one reference value, whereby the horizontal and vertical loads applied to the combplate can be monitored and improper load levels determined. By proper choice of the displacement angle differing vertical and horizontal forces can be resolved into the same displacement, allowing a single indicator to simultaneously display both vertical and horizontal loading status.
