Abstract:
Systems, separators and methods separate one or more solids from a fluid and utilize an automated pressure differential device to improve separation of the one or more solids and the fluid. The systems and methods comprise at least a pressure differential system adjacent a screen in a shaker for separating one or more solids from a fluid, the pressure differential system adapted to provide a pressure differential adjacent the screen in the shaker, a monitoring tool coupled to an actuated arm adjacent the shaker, the monitoring tool adapted to monitor the one or more solids and the fluid adjacent the screen in the shaker, and a controller in electrical communication with the pressure differential system, the monitoring tool and the actuated arm, wherein the controller adapted to control the pressure differential based on the monitoring of the one or more solids and the fluid adjacent the screen of the shaker.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a residual toxicant detection device for detecting the amount of residual toxicants in an aqueous solution to be measured. The residual toxicant detection device includes an accommodation space formed from a shell, a water inlet and a water outlet positioned on the shell for the aqueous solution to flow therein and thereout, respectively, a sensing chamber in the accommodation space, a light source emitter and a light sensor positioned near the sensing chamber, the light source emitter emitting light of a wavelength range, the light sensor receiving the light passing through the sensing chamber, and a circuit board receiving sensing signals sensed by the light sensor, such that absorbance and a change of the absorbance of residual toxicants in the aqueous solution to be measured are calculated.
Abstract:
An analysis system comprising a cartridge and an instrument being designed for operating the cartridge. The cartridge comprises a chamber sealed by a foil capable of protruding when the chamber is pressurized. The instrument comprises an analysis window and a detection portion designed for being crossed by a signal emitted from the chamber toward the instrument when the chamber is placed opposite the detection portion. The instrument further comprises docking means to place the chamber opposite the detection portion so that when the chamber is pressurized, the foil protrudes toward the detection portion. The analysis system is characterized in that it further comprises spacing means to ensure that, when the cartridge is docked on the instrument via the docking means and the chamber is pressurized, said spacing means ensure a gap between the foil and the detection portion.
Abstract:
A sensor module configured to be worn by a subject includes a plurality of sensors configured to measure physiological information from the subject and/or environmental exposure information in a vicinity of the subject, a power source coupled to the plurality of sensors, and at least one processor configured to obtain data from the plurality of sensors only at certain time intervals in order to extend a life of the power source. The sensor module also includes a wireless chip configured to communicate data obtained from the plurality of sensors to a telecommunication device. The telecommunication device is configured to communicate the data obtained from the plurality of sensors to a remote database. One or more of the plurality of sensors may be activated and/or deactivated by the telecommunication device.
Abstract:
Wearable apparatus for monitoring various physiological and environmental factors are provided. Real-time, noninvasive health and environmental monitors include a plurality of compact sensors integrated within small, low-profile devices, such as earpiece modules. Physiological and environmental data is collected and wirelessly transmitted into a wireless network, where the data is stored and/or processed.
Abstract:
A method of inspecting a lateral pipe extending from a manhole, said method comprising: (a) inserting an imaging head into said manhole using a positioning system, said imaging head connected to an elongated member and comprising an imaging device adapted to convert an image to an image signal, a lens optically coupled to said imaging device, and at least one lamp suitable for projecting a light beam, said lamp having a beam that is adjustable to enable said beam to move relative said imaging device; (b) imaging a target located within said lateral pipe; (c) holding said imaging device essentially steady while imaging said target and adjusting said beam to adjust the illumination of said target.
Abstract:
A method of inspecting a lateral pipe extending from a manhole, the method comprising: (a) extending an imaging head into the manhole using a positioning system, the imaging head comprising an imaging device and at least one lamp capable of producing a light beam, the positioning system comprising an elongated member and a targeting fixture operatively connected thereto, the imaging head being attached to one end of the elongated member, the targeting fixture having a distal end biased outwardly from the imaging head; (b) placing the distal end on a rigid surface proximate to the lateral pipe; (c) pushing down on the elongated member such that the distal end resiliently moves toward the imaging head, thereby allowing the light beam to be centered approximately in the lateral pipe; and (d) imaging a target located within the lateral pipe.
Abstract:
