Title: Motorized pool cover
Inventor: RADTKE CARL WILLIAM
IPC: E04H4/10
Filed: 1983-09-27
Granted: 1986-10-30
Abstract: @ A pool cover (10) is alternatively reeled on a spool (18) and drawn across a pool (12) by a mechanism (14) in which a motor-driven shaft (20) reels in a cover sheet to uncover the pool and the free end (24) of the sheet is pulled by cords (28) reeled onto drums (30) connected to the driven shaft to cover the pool. The cords are reeled around the drums in the opposite direction from which the sheet is reeled around the spool, and the cords are entrained around direction reversing pulleys (32) at the opposite end of the pool, an arrangement which results in the cord being reeled on the drums as the sheet is paid out from the spool and vice-versa. The cord velocity and cover sheet velocity are attempted to be matched and held constant by winding the cords onto/from a conical cord drum for the cords. The cord is guided precisely onto and from a given diameter portion on the conical drum by a cord carriage.It is preferred to try to obtain a constant and uniform tension on the opposite beaded edges of the cover sheet and on the cords on opposite sides of the pool to prevent stack from developing in the cover sheet or cords. Herein, biasing means for the spool (18) and the cord drum are provided In the form of torsion springs (48) that connect the spool and cord drums (30) to the shaft (20). The torsion springs coil or uncoil to adjust somewhat the speeds of spool rotation and drum rotation with respect to the rotational speed of the shaft. The interconnection of the spool torsion springs and drum torsion springs maintain the sheet and cords under continuous tension.Limit switch means (174) in the form of magnetically actuated switches along the side of the pool are actuated by magnets (176) carried by the cover sheet (16) to stop reel-in or pay-out of sheet at the fully covering or fully uncovering positions of the sheet.

Title: Sensors for detecting analytes in fluids
Inventor: LEWIS NATHAN S
IPC: G01N27/12
Filed: 1997-08-11
Granted: 2000-04-20
Abstract: Chemical sensors for detecting analytes in fluids comprise first and second conductive elements (e.g., electrical leads) electrically coupled to and separated by a chemically sensitive resistor which provides an electrical path between the conductive elements. The resistor comprises a plurality of alternating nonconductive regions (comprising a nonconductive organic polymer) and conductive regions (comprising a conductive material) transverse to the electrical path. The resistor provides a difference in resistance between the conductive elements when contacted with a fluid comprising a chemical analyte at a first concentration, than when contacted with a fluid comprising the chemical analyte at a second different concentration. Arrays of such sensors are constructed with at least two sensors having different chemically sensitive resistors providing dissimilar such differences in resistance. Variability in chemical sensitivity from sensor to sensor is provided by qualitatively or quantitatively varying the composition of the conductive and/or nonconductive regions. An electronic nose for detecting an analyte in a fluid may be constructed by using such arrays in conjunction with an electrical measuring device electrically connected to the conductive elements of each sensor.
