A duct probe having a coaxial cable is provided to advance a microphone through an underground or other duct containing a cable in a pressurized sheath for sensing fluid leaks in the sheath. The coaxial cable is embedded in a resilient fiberglass rod of one-piece construction. The rod is sufficiently flexible so that it can be wound onto and unwound from a reel having a cage-like configuration. A stationary base is provided to rotatably mount the reel, and the base is provided with a length measuring device responsive to the movement of the duct probe as it is unwound from the reel so that the distance by which the duct probe penetrates a duct can be determined. At the outer end of the rod, a microphone is mounted for sensing the sounds caused by a fluid leak in the pressurized sheath in the duct. The coaxial cable in the rod couples the microphone to a telephone jack at the reel, one part of the jack being stationary and the other part of the jack being coupled to the reel so that the reel can rotate relative to the base, yet a signal can be taken from the coaxial cable and directed to a electronic signal processor unit for showing an indication of the leak. The rod can be repaired quickly and easily by an improved technique if the rod cracks as a result of being misused.

A non-dispersive gas analyzing apparatus is described having a first chamber for containing a first gas, the density of which it is desired to determine. A source of radiant energy is provided for passing radiant energy through the first chamber. Modulation means are provided for modulating the radiant energy passing through the first chamber by modulating the volume of the chamber at the acoustic resonance frequency of the first gas and the chamber. Signal generating means including a second chamber for containing a gas which is heated by radiant energy emerging from the first chamber and a microphonic means responsive to the resulting pressurization in the second chamber is provided for generating a signal having a frequency and amplitude corresponding to the modulation of the radiant energy in the first chamber. In one embodiment this signal is used to modulate in phase opposition radiant energy passing through an intermediate gas-filled third chamber so as to cancel in the second chamber the effects of the modulation in the first chamber. In a second embodiment this signal is used to modulate in phase opposition the intensity of the radiant energy emerging from the energy source so as to cancel in the second chamber the effects of the modulation in the first chamber. Output means are further provided responsive to the amplitude of the signal generated by the signal generating means and the amplitude of the modulation in the first chamber for providing an output proportional to the density of the gas in the first chamber.

An air flow measurement device includes a connector conduit for the air flow having a transverse restrictor plate located therein with a plurality of uniform and uniformly spaced apertures extending therethrough. The restrictor plate is maintained in the connector conduit by a pair of sleeves each of which includes on its interior diameter a plurality of angularly spaced passages and on its outer diameter a circumferential groove communicating with the passages. A pair of valves are mounted through the wall of the connector conduit for communication with the circumferential grooves so that a differential pressure meter may be connected to the valves to measure the difference in pressure upstream and downstream of the restrictor plate to thereby determine the flow rate. The sleeves may be made in two identical pieces to form the passages and grooves, and additional smoothing screens may be positioned upstream and downstream of the restrictor plate by further identical sleeve pieces.

Multi-component motions between two parts are sensed by this apparatus which comprises a first conductive element and a plurality of second conductive elements with a frame connected to the first and second elements to hold them closely spaced from each other but not in electrical contact. An electric oscillator is connected between the first element and the second elements to apply an oscillating signal between the first element and each of the second elements. A sensing circuit is connected to each of the second elements to separately detect changes in the protential between the first element and each of the second elements as the two parts are moved relative to each other and to produce a first set of separate electrical signals representative of such changes in the potential. These signals are then algebraicly combined in a plurality of predetermined combinations to thereby generate a second set of electrical signals which are each representative of the separate linear and rotative orthogonal components of the relative motion between the two parts.

A pair of spaced apart grooves are machined in a plate in correspondence with the movement of a patient's left and right condyles relative to the sockets in which they move. A third groove is also machined in the same plate, equally spaced and remote from the pair of grooves, in correspondence with the minimal separation of the patient's mandibular and maxillary teeth at various lateral and anterior positions. The plate is then attached to a cast of the patient's maxillary teeth and is mounted in an articulator frame on rigid posts which slide in the machined grooves of the plate as the plate is manually moved, thereby reproducing movements corresponding to the patient's closure pathway and condylar topography.

A method and apparatus is described for compensating for reflection losses in an optical path length modulated absorption-absorption gas analyzer used for determining the density of a reference gas in an unknown gas sample. The apparatus comprises a first chamber for containing a first gas including a reference gas at a known partial density and a second chamber for containing a second gas including a sample of the reference gas at an unknown partial density. A source of radiant energy is provided for passing radiant energy through the first and second chambers. Means are provided for modulating the path length of the radiant energy in the chambers. Additionally, a chopper wheel comprising a plurality of gas cells containing a sample of the reference gas is interspersed by a plurality of gas cells containing a gas excluding the reference gas. The chopper wheel is provided between the first and the second chambers and a radiant energy sensing means for intercepting the radiant energy emerging from the first and second chambers before it reaches the radiant energy sensing means. Signal processing means responsive to the radiant energy sensing means and the position of the chopper cells with respect to the radiant energy path provides a signal proportional to the density of the reference gas in the unknown gas sample.

In a hydrogen flame detector there is provided a means for modulating the density of a gas stream prior to its introduction into the detector flame. A detector, responsive to the resulting modulation of the flame, is provided for producing an output signal having a component fluctuating at the frequency of modulation. A cross-correlator, responsive to the output signal and a signal at the frequency of modulation, is provided for producing a resultant signal proportional to the cross-correlation between its two input signals. A means is further provided for recording or otherwise utilizing the resultant signal thus produced.

A gas flow meter includes a cylinder closed at its upper end and slidably supported within a bearing ring. The cylinder side wall is provided with openings. A gas flow is directed into the interior of the cylinder which causes it to rise with respect to the bearing ring and permitting the gas to flow out of the area of the openings exposed above the bearing. During a constant flow of gas through the cylinder the flow rate can be measured by the distance which the cylinder has moved upwardly as indicated on a fixed marker positioned adjacent to the cylinder. An electrical signal is also provided by means of an electrical sensor positioned axially within the cylinder.
