| 073610420 | Metallic particle constituent | 8 |
| 20090038380 | Oral Fluid Assays for the Detection of Heavy Metal Exposure - Methods for measuring the concentration of heavy metals such as lead in oral fluid are provided. The concentration of lead in oral fluid can be accurately correlated with the concentration of lead in the blood serum. The methods are useful for, among other things, diagnosis and monitoring of heavy metal exposure. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090071232 | METHOD FOR QUANTITATIVELY DETERMINING UNBOUND METAL IN FORMULATIONS CONTAINING CHELATES - Methods are provided for quantitatively determining the amount of unbound metal present in a sample suspected of containing a metal-ligand chelate. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090107217 | METHOD OF DETECTING METAL IONS BY MELANIN-SENSITIZED PIEZOELECTRIC SENSOR - The present invention provides a metal-ion sensor characterized by coating the gold electrode of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) with melanin, whereby the sensor has an enhanced sensitivity to metal ions. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090314064 | PRE-SIGNALING MAGNETIC PLUG - The invention relates to a signaling magnetic plug for a liquid circuit, the plug including a first magnetic electrode and a second magnetic electrode for coming into contact with the liquid flowing in the liquid circuit when the magnetic plug is mounted so as to detect the presence of metal particles that might be contained in the liquid. According to the invention, the plug also includes a preferably non-magnetic intermediate electrode disposed between the first and second magnetic electrodes while also being designed to be in contact with the liquid flowing in the liquid circuit when the magnetic plug is mounted, whereby said plug enables the presence of such metal particles to be detected early. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20110030456 | NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION METHOD FOR METALLIC ALLOYS - A non-destructive inspection method for detecting the presence of a contaminant that has alloyed with a metallic alloy of a part includes exposing the metallic alloy of the part to an extraction solution. The extraction solution extracts at least a portion of any of the contaminant that has alloyed with the metallic alloy. The extraction solution can then be analyzed to determine whether the solution includes any of the contaminant element, which indicates whether the part includes any of the contaminant element. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110138887 | INSPECTION OF INSTALLED ASPHALT - An apparatus and a method for monitoring a ratio of at least two mixed components use a sensor for detecting taggant particles in one of the components of the mixed material after installation. The sensor is positioned adjacent a surface of the installed mixture and is connected to a control device for displaying an indication of a mixture ratio of the components below the surface. The control device also generates a profile of the mixture ratio of the installed mixed material versus a distance from the surface. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120006101 | Method for determining the optimal treatment dosage for metals removal - Wastewater from industrial processes commonly contains dissolved metals which require removal in order to meet discharge limits. The metal precipitant IE 061 may be utilized along with Floccin Agents™ for the removal of dissolved metals. The method here described indicates how to determine the appropriate dosage of IE061 metal precipitant and Floccin Agents™ required to treat the water. The method utilizes pH adjustment to an insoluble level for metals of concern. IE061 is then incrementally added to the water until the metals have precipitated utilizing oxidative state as an indicator of level of soluble metals. Required concentrations are determined by adding precipitant until the oxidative state indicates that no further precipitation is achievable. A Floccin Agent™ is then added in measured incremental steps in order to coagulate, flocculate and encapsulate the insoluble metals. The Floccin Agent™ is added incrementally to determine the concentration that yields acceptable metals removal. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20150301013 | REAL TIME FUEL DISCRIMINATOR - A real time fuel discriminator for use with a fuel conveyance system that conveys fuel from a fuel supply to a fuel-powered engine includes a body with an inlet port and an outlet port. Each port is coupled to the fuel conveyance system so that fuel enters the inlet port, passes through the body, and exits the outlet port. A fuel analyzer is associated with the body, and constructed to determine whether the fuel is contaminated with an undesired material. The undesired material may be water or conductive metal fragments. | 10-22-2015 |
