US Classification:

417201000, 417199100

Abstract:

A liquid transport system. The liquid transport system includes a gas displacement piping section fluidly coupled to a centrifugal pump or to other portions of the liquid transport system. The gas displacement piping section includes an inlet, and outlet and a gas discharge located between the inlet and outlet for enabling gases to escape or be displaced from the gas displacement piping section, the gas displacement piping section being configured to cause entrained gases in flowing liquid to migrate toward the gas discharge. In centrifugal pump embodiments, the gas displacement piping section may be fluidly coupled upstream or downstream of the centrifugal pump, and may include a vacuum pump and/or float valve coupled to the gas discharge.

Appl. No.:

5/967324

Inventors:

Robert A. Ray - Fullerton CA

Assignee:

Beckman Instruments, Inc. - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

G01N 3114
C07G 702

US Classification:

435 12

Abstract:

An enzymatic reagent is provided for use in the kinetic measurement of the concentration of an enzyme substrate present in a sample and possessing the Michaelis-Menten relationship between reaction rate and substrate concentration. The reagent includes an enzyme such as glucose oxidase, uricase or urease for reacting with corresponding enzyme substrates such as glucose, uric acid or urea. In addition, the reagent includes a nonreacting competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. The inhibitor is present in an amount sufficient to improve the linearity of the reaction rate-concentration relationship associated with the enzyme substrate reaction at concentrations which are low relative to the Michaelis-Menten constant, Km, for the particular enzyme substrate reaction. The improved linearity, in turn, improves the accuracy of the kinetic measurements of substrate concentration made by linear output analyzers especially in an upper portion of the predetermined range where the relationship is particularly nonlinear.

Appl. No.:

5/772410

Inventors:

Jack L. Hoffa - Brea CA
Robert A. Ray - Fullerton CA

Assignee:

Beckman Instruments, Inc. - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

G01N 3316
G01N 114

US Classification:

23259

Abstract:

Apparatus for the analysis of samples such as blood or urine includes a reaction cell for reacting the sample with a chemical reagent at a predetermined temperature. A heat exchanger is provided on the reaction cell for establishing the temperature of the cell. Reagent is pumped into the cell through a conduit, and a portion of the conduit is wound around the reaction cell in contact with the heat exchanger to preheat reagent in the conduit before the reagent is pumped into the cell.

Benjamin Schanz - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G01R 13/02
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

Signal analysis arrangements and techniques for electrical signals monitored by oscilloscope devices are discussed herein. In one example, a method includes obtaining one or more digital images that capture an oscilloscope user interface presenting a trace of a signal monitored by the oscilloscope, and processing at least the trace in the one or more digital images to decode a connotation of the signal. Based at least on the connotation, the method includes generating an annotation overlay indicating one or more characteristics of the signal.

International Classification:

G06F 15/78

Abstract:

An example method for adjusting operation of an integrated circuit includes testing a plurality of electronic elements of the integrated circuit including one or more redundant electronic elements designated as inactive according to a manufacturer's default configuration of the integrated circuit to determine one or more operating parameters of the integrated circuit. The method further includes selecting a subset of electronic elements from the plurality of electronic elements based on the one or more operating parameters, wherein the subset of electronic elements is designated as active according to an updated configuration of the integrated circuit, and controlling operation of the integrated circuit using the updated configuration instead of the manufacturer's default configuration.

Abstract:

Power reduction and voltage adjustment techniques for computing systems and processing devices are presented herein. In one example, a method includes executing a voltage characterization service for a processing device of a computing apparatus to determine at least one supply voltage for the processing device, the voltage characterization service comprising a functional test that exercises the processing device at iteratively adjusted voltages in context with associated system elements of the computing apparatus. During execution of the voltage characterization service, the method includes monitoring for operational failures of at least the processing device, and responsive to the operational failures, determining at least one resultant supply voltage.

Abstract:

Secure voltage adjustment techniques for computing systems and processing devices are presented herein. In one example, a method of controlling operating voltages for a processing device includes initializing a security portion of the processing device after application of input voltages to the processing device as supplied by voltage regulation circuitry according to voltage identifiers (VIDs) established for the processing device. The method includes, in the security portion, generating adjusted input voltages based on at least the VIDs and authenticated voltage offset information stored according to a digitally signed security process, and instructing the voltage regulation circuitry to supply the adjusted input voltages to the processing device.
