Abstract: The measuring system serves for measuring a density of a medium flowing in a process line along a flow axis of the measuring system in the case of a medium which is variable as regards a thermodynamic state, especially a medium which is, at least in part, compressible. The measuring system includes therefor: At least one temperature sensor placed at a temperature measuring point, reacting primarily to a local temperature, ~, of medium flowing past, and delivering at least one temperature measurement signal influenced by the local temperature of the medium to be measured;  at least one pressure sensor placed at a pressure measuring point, reacting primarily to a local, especially a static, pressure, p, of medium flowing past, and delivering at least one pressure measurement signal influenced by the local pressure, p, in the medium to be measured; as well as a measuring electronics communicating, in each case, at least at times, with the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor. The measuring electronics ascertains, with application both of the temperature measurement signal as well as also at least the pressure measurement signal, a provisional density measured value, which represents a density, which the flowing medium only apparently has at a virtual density measuring point, especially a virtual density measuring point predeterminably spaced from the pressure measuring point and/or the temperature measuring point along the flow axis. Additionally, the measuring electronics produces, with application of the provisional density measured value as well as at least density correction value determined at run-time and dependent both on a flow velocity of the medium as well as also on the local temperature reigning at the temperature measuring point, at least at times, at least one density measured value, especially a digital density measured value, differing from the provisional density measured value and instantaneously more accurately representing than the provisional density measured value a local density, .rho., which the flowing medium actually has at the virtual density measuring point.

Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: A warning sign for attachment to a load bearing wall in a building, the wall having an inner supporting structure covered with an outer, finishing layer. The sign is mountable on the supporting structure of the wall before the structure is covered with the outer layer of material so that the sign is not normally visible. The sign becomes visible only on removal of the outer layer such as during renovation. The sign has a message on it's side facing outwardly from the structure, when the sign is attached to the structure, to warn a person viewing the sign when the sign is visible. The message warns the viewer that the wall is a load bearing wall and that the removal of the wall could have dangerous consequences. The invention is also directed toward a building incorporating the sign and to a method for installing the sign.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the concentration of haemoglobin within red blood cells. An undiluted, whole blood sample is deposited into a transparent analysis chamber (10) whose height is such that the red blood cells are in contact with both surfaces (14, 18). Then the optical density of a portion of the red blood cells in contact with both' surf aces is measured.  The haemoglobin concentration of the red blood cell is calculated from the optical density and the known distinction coefficient of haemoglobin. This is repeated with other cells until an average haemoglobin concentration can be determined with confidence.  Dependent claims include use of zwitterionic isovolumetric sphering agent make the measurement independent of a geometrical form factor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides workpiece feed systems, methods and assemblies comprising one or more tapered feed rolls positioned at an angle to incoming workpieces. The tapered feed rolls may pull individual workpieces toward a guide while gradually accelerating the workpieces and altering their direction of travel. The angle and speed of rotation of the tapered feed rolls may be automatically adjusted to control workpiece speed/acceleration, providing improved gap control and minimizing collisions between successive workpieces. Tapered feed rolls may therefore reduce or eliminate the need for a conventional bridge to decelerate the workpieces after the directional change, reducing the operational space required by a workpiece feed system.
