Filed:

Jun 2, 1972

Appl. No.:

5/259347

Inventors:

Constance Van Lenten - Hawthorne NJ
Robert Rosenthal - Tenafly NJ
Elmer A. Sperry - Pompton Plains NJ

Assignee:

Beckman Instruments, Inc. - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

G01N 2728

US Classification:

324 30B

Abstract:

An electrode housing for a fluid conductivity cell contains a chamber in which electrodes are securely positioned, the walls of the housing being electrically nonconducting and having at least one chamber duct penetrating the walls of the housing for the ingress and egress of fluid to be measured. The chamber duct is located relative to the electrodes such that it is substantially coincident with at least a portion of a line of equipotential established at the inside surface of the chamber in response to a voltage applied to the electrodes. The chamber duct is a size and shape to provide a negligible voltage drop across any dimension thereby substantially confining a conduction of current between the electrodes to the chamber of the electrode housing.

Abstract:

A user-application program for computerized telephone ordering is generated y a system designer who selects and interconnects pre-defined program modules and subroutines using a graphics terminal. The application program allows TOUCH-TONE input data and voice response. The present invention describes a Dialog Production System (DPS) for generating application programs for instructing a computer-controlled voice response system to provide computer-controlled voice services. The DPS includes interaction modules, each defining a basic end-user transaction which can be performed by the system, and methods for specifying module interconnection. Each interaction module controls the intercommunications with other modules and controls the devices which interface to the system. To design a dialog program to implement the desired voice service the system designer uses a graphic terminal to select and interconnect the modules to define the sequence of transactions needed to implement the desired voice service.
