141 System and Method for Gas Flow Verification US12104438 2008-04-17 US20080195332A1 2008-08-14 Vernon Wong; Richard J. Meinecke
A gas flow rate verification apparatus is provided for shared use in a multiple tool semiconductor processing platform. The gas flow rate verification apparatus is defined to measure a pressure rate of rise and temperature within a test volume for determination of a corresponding gas flow rate. The apparatus includes first and second volumes, wherein the second volume is larger than the first volume. The apparatus also includes first and second pressure measurement devices, wherein the second pressure measurement device is capable of measuring higher pressures. Based on the target gas flow rate to be measured, either the first or second volume can be selected as the test volume, and either the first or second pressure measurement device can be selected to measure the pressure in the test volume. Configurability of the apparatus enables accurate measurement of gas flow rates over a broad range and in an time efficient manner.

145 Gas mass flow metering valve US739405 1996-10-29 US6065492A 2000-05-23 Lorenzo Bergamini
A gas flow control valve which enables mass flow to be measured using a flow straightener in a valve entry duct, a tube for lengthening the entry duct into the valve, a valve element exit port with suitably radiused edges and a flow stabilizer in the valve exit duct. Upstream and downstream pressure taps are positioned immediately upstream of the flow straightener and downstream of the flow stabilizer respectively. This enables the flow rate to be controlled not by the formulas traditionally used for valve dimensioning, but by formulas derived from more accurate formulas used for calculating mass flow with standard members of a fixed restriction type.
146 High void fraction multi-phase fluid flow meter US705573 1996-08-29 US5741977A 1998-04-21 Joram Agar; David Farchi
A high void fraction multi-phase fluid flow meter and method, wherein a first fluid flow path including a multi-phase flow measuring device disposed in series with a liquid flow restrictor is provided in parallel with a second fluid flow path including a gas flow measuring device. The presence of liquid flow in the flow meter is detected. When liquid flow is detected, a valve in the second fluid flow path operates to cut off fluid flow through the second fluid flow path. Otherwise the valve in the second fluid flow path operates to divert gas flow through the second fluid flow path. Alternatively, a negative pressure differential is produced across the second fluid flow path when liquid flow is present, by passing the incoming liquid flow through a jet pump nozzle, to prevent liquid flow into the second fluid flow path. A check valve is then disposed in the second fluid flow path to prevent backflow from the output of the multi-flow measuring device into the second fluid flow path. A computer outputs an indication of the liquid flow, typically oil flow and water flow, through the multi-phase flow meter, and the combined total amount of gas flow through the two flow meters.

148 Delivery of aerosol medications for inspiration US636958 1996-04-24 US5655516A 1997-08-12 David E. Goodman; Reid M. Rubsamen
Apparatus and methods for delivering an amount of aerosolized medicine for inspiration by a patient in response to the occurrence of appropriate delivery point or points in the patient's detected breath flow. The aerosol medication may be administered as one or more pulses having a pulse width, shape, and frequency that will maximize the respirable fraction of the aerosolized compound being administered. The delivery point or points may be predetermined or determined from a prior inspiratory flow for depositing the selected medication at one or more desired locations in the patient's airway. Determined delivery points are recursively lowered for each inspiratory flow that does not satisfy one of the predetermined and previously lowered threshold. Changes in the patient's breath flow patterns during the course of an aerosolized medication inspiration therapy program may be detected and used to adjust the controlled amount of medication to be delivered in a given administration and/or to inform the patient of the patient's condition or change in condition. The device also may contain a library of administration protocols or operating parameters for different medications and a means for identifying from the canister the medicinal contents of the canister for customizing operation of the apparatus.

The durable body includes an actuator mechanism for engaging an inserted cassette and its canister, and an actuator release mechanism for controlling the actuator mechanism to depress the canister for a selected period of time to release the desired dose of medication and then the release the canister. The actuator mechanism, includes a compression spring for depressing the canister and a torsion spring for reloading the compression spring. The torsion spring is reloaded by rotating the cassette from an open position for delivering aerosol to a closed position. The actuator release mechanism includes a motor and trigger pin assembly that controls the release of the compression spring and the torsion spring, and, hence, the time that the canister is depressed.
151 Wide-range laminar flowmeter US940144 1992-09-03 US5297427A 1994-03-29 Ali Shambayati
An adjustable laminar flowmeter is disclosed for use in fluid flow measurement. The flowmeter comprises a plurality of paths, at least one of which has at least one dimension which is adjustable by means of an adjustment mechanism. A measuring device is located in operative relation with at least one of said paths to measure a characteristic of the flow through that path. By maintaining laminar flow, the ratio of fluid flow through the paths is linear for a wide range of flows. This allows for a simple straight-line approximation of the flow for a wide range of flow. Also, the full scale flow rate through the device is user adjustable. The symmetrical design of the flowmeter enables bi-directional flow measurement.
