Title: Method of controlling solution concentration in strip cleaning line
Inventor: SIMPSON STEPHEN D
IPC: C23G1/12
Filed: 2002-03-25
Abstract: An automatic control system is provided for acid concentration in an aluminum strip cleaning line wherein an aluminum strip is contacted with an acid solution while passing through an acid cleaning bath and the concentration of the acid in the bath is adjusted by adding either concentrated acid or water to the bath. A conductivity probe provides a signal for the free acid concentration of the bath and an on-line process titrator periodically provides a second signal indicative of the actual free acid concentration and the total acid concentration. These first and second signals are used to obtain a corrected value for free acid concentration. The bath acid concentration is then adjusted as required based on the corrected specific conductivity value.

Title: Method for reducing effect of hematocrit on measurement of an analyte in whole blood, and test kit and test article useful in the method
Inventor: MARFURT KAREN L
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: A method for determining the presence and/or amount of an analyte in a sample of whole blood comprises the step of treating the sample with a nonlytic hypertonic salt compo- sition to reduce the hematocrit by reducing the size of the red blood cells. In optical detection systems, the smaller red blood cells create greater scatter, which allows a more accurate cor- rection to be applied in a dual-wavelength detection system. In electrochemical detection systems, as well as in optical detection systems, the smaller red blood cells provide less ob- struction to the diffusion of analyte and reagents in the sample, to facilitate the reactions thereof.

Title: Detecting soot during real time operation in diesel engine lubricant
Inventor: SEITZ MARTIN A
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A probe having a pair of closely spaced electrodes is immersed in the lubricant and one electrode is excited with a relatively low voltage AC  current.  The frequency is swept over a range of about 1 - 10,000 Hertz and the current and phase angle measured at selected frequency intervals. The reactive (Z") and resistive (Z") impedances are computed for each current measurement and values of Z" plotted as a function of Z' as a Nyquist plot. The center of curvature of the plot between the origin and the minimum value of Z" is located; and, the angle of depression of a line from the origin through the center of curvature .THETA. is determined from the plot. Samples of lubricant having known concentration of soot are measured and the angle .THETA. determined for each sample. The angle is then plotted as a function of soot concentration and a smooth curve fitted to the data plots. The curve may be programmed into a microcomputer to be used with the sensor for real time determination of soot concentration.

Title: Method and device for clarification of liquids, particularly water, loaded with material in suspension
Inventor: VION PATRICK
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2003-03-06
Abstract: A method is disclosed for clarifying, by flotation, waters contaminated with suspended matter, wherein the clarification treatment takes place in two successive steps implemented in a single installation. The method principally involves flowing contaminated water through a downflow static flocculation step and then down through a lamellar settler separation step positioned directly below the downflow static flocculation step, the settling rates of the heavier particles of the lamellar settler separation step removing heavier particles from the water retained during the static flocculation/lamellar separation step being less than or equal to the settling rates of the floatable particles. The water which has passed through the static flocculation/lamellar settler separation step is then subjected to a flotation step which removes the light particles in the water of which the settling rate is lower than a flotation cutoff threshold.
