IPC: G01N9/00
Filed: 2004-12-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a Coriolis mass flowmeter/density meter comprising at least one measuring tube (11) through which a two-phase or multiphase medium flows during operation thereof. A supporting means (12) of the Coriolis mass flowmeter/density meter is fixed to an inlet end and an outlet end of the measuring tube (11), thus clamping the same so as to allow the measuring tube (11) to vibrate. The measuring tube (11) is made to vibrate mechanically, particularly to perform bending vibrations, by means of an excitation system (13). The inventive Coriolis mass flowmeter/density meter further comprises means (141, 142) for generating test signals (xs1, xs2 ) representing vibrations at the inlet end and outlet end of the measuring tube (11). An electronic evaluation unit (2) generates an intermediate value (X'm) that is derived from the test signals (xs1, xs2) and represents a tentatively determined mass flow rate as well as a second intermediate value (X2) derived from the test signals (xs1, xs2), especially from a measured value (X.rho.) which is also generated in the electronic evaluation unit (2) and represents a density of the medium, said second intermediate value (X2) representing a measure of a concentration of a phase in the medium. A corrected value (XK) for the first intermediate value (X'm) is determined using the second intermediate value (X2), said corrected value (XK ) being selected among a plurality of predefined values stored in a table memory (56) by means of the intermediate value (X2). The electronic evaluation unit (2) additionally generates a measured value (Xm) representing a mass flow rate with the aid of the intermediate value (X'm) and the corrected value (XK).

Title: Position sensor
Inventor: GLASSON RICHARD O
IPC: G01D5/04
Filed: 2005-01-14
Abstract: A position sensor (10) includes a stationary frame (12) supporting a rotatable spool (20) onto which a cable (28) is wound in a plurality of individual windings (30). A distal end of the cable (28) extends through a lead guide (34) for attachment to an object whose position is desired to be sensed. As the object moves, the cable (28) is wound or unwound about the spool (20) and the spool (20) rotates in direct correlation to the movement of the object.  The spool (20) is retained in the frame (12) through a threaded engagement between a threaded extension (22) extending from the spool (20) and a threaded opening in the frame (12). Thus, as the spool (20) rotates, the spool (20) travels along a linear path and a sensor (58) determines the location of the threaded extension (22) to determine the location of the object. A recoil spring (40) is used which may be located within the spool (20) itself.

IPC: H02G3/02
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: There is a concern that water on the top surface of a cover 50A will penetrate the top face of a case 20 through gaps between an opening portion 51H and parts accommodation portions 34 because the parts accommodation portions 34 are exposed to the outside at the opening portion 51H on the top face of the cover 50A while the electrical connection box P is positioned in the cover 50A. Because drainage grooves 35 and 36, which reach the drainage channels 38 on the outside face of the case 20, are formed on the top face of the case 20, water that remains on the top face of the case 20 (the main body portion 30) is reliably drained by flowing into the drainage grooves 35 and 36.
