US Classification:

73728

Abstract:

A pressure transducer suitable for use in high temperature environments includes two pairs of induction coils, each pair being bifilarly wound together, and each pair of coils connected as opposite arms of a four arm circuit; an electrically conductive target moveably positioned between the coil pairs and connected to a diaphragm such that deflection of the diaphragm causes axial movement of the target and an unbalance in the bridge output.

International Classification:

G01N 2702

US Classification:

324443

Abstract:

An induction voidmeter for detecting voids in a conductive fluid may comprise: a four arm bridge circuit having two adjustable circuit elements connected as opposite arms of said bridge circuit, an input branch, and an output branch; two induction coils, bifilarly wound together, connected as the remaining two opposing arms of said bridge circuit and positioned such that the conductive fluid passes through said coils; applying an AC excitation signal to said input branch; and detecting the output signal generated in response to said excitation signal across said output branch. The induction coils may be located outside or inside a non-magnetic pipe containing the conductive fluid.

Appl. No.:

7/214388

Inventors:

Kenneth A. Schmidt - Clarendon Hills IL

Assignee:

Culligan International Company - Northbrook IL

International Classification:

C02F 142

US Classification:

210679

Abstract:

Residual alkali metal ions from water, typically water having passed through a strong base demineralizer unit, may be removed by passing the water through a weak acid cation exchange resin, having a particle size distribution in which at least 90 weight percent of the resin has a particle size of at least 15 microns and at least 90 weight percent of the resin has a particle size of no more than 150 microns.
