Abstract: In an axial-flow cylindrical preparative chromatography column that utilizes a piston to close off the top of the resin space inside the column and thereby eliminate void spaces at the top of the resin, a sight glass is incorporated in the column wall to allow monitoring of the packing height and density as the packing material is being placed inside the column, as well as the position of the piston head relative to the packing while the piston is being lowered to consolidated and/or compress the packing. By observing the column interior through the sight glass, the operator can assure that the column receives a more uniform packing density and can minimize the risk of damage to the packing material by excessive force from the piston head.

Title: Test pressurisation device for hose
Inventor: FRITJOFSSON PER-ARNE
IPC: G01M3/04
Filed: 2010-12-17
Abstract: A test pressurisation device (100) for hose (1) includes a first pair of press/driving rolls (10, 12) between which the hose can be inserted, and a second pair of press/driving rolls (20, 22) between which the hose can be inserted. The first pair of press/driving rolls (10, 12) is arranged on a distance from the second pair of press/driving rolls (20, 22). Further each pair of press/driving rolls is arranged for pressing the hose together between the rolls in conjunction with pressurisation with a medium such as water so that a limited part of the hose, which is located between the first and the second pair of press/driving rolls, can be held pressurised and control of the hoses or its couplings tightness is admitted. Furthermore, while sections of the hose are held pressurised between the pairs of press/driving rolls, the same pairs of press/driving rolls are feeding the hose forward, thus checking the hoses tightness in a continuously moving section approach. In this way a very space efficient solution is achieved, as only a limited part of the hose needs to be held pressurised at a time.

IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring circuit for measuring the capacitance of a measuring capacitor which has a first and a second measuring electrode and which is coupled to a charging capacitor, wherein the frequency of the output signal of the measuring circuit is a measure of the capacitance of the capacitor, and the measuring circuit comprises a buffer amplifier with which the point between the charging resistor and the measuring capacitor is connected to the other components of the measuring circuit. The buffer amplifier changes the high impedance level of the combination of the measuring capacitor and the charging resistor to a level at which low-pass filters can usefully be applied. Buffer amplifiers are also available with an input capacitance and input resistance such that the buffer amplifier already functions in itself as a low-pass filter. An external filter is then not necessary because the filter is already present in the buffer amplifier.
