US Patent:

54704871, Nov 28, 1995
Filed:

May 4, 1994
Appl. No.:

8/238187
Inventors:

Louis T. Staats - Lincoln University PA
James A. Bristow - Elkton MD
Anil P. F. Noronha - West Chester PA
Gregory E. Murphy - Erial NJ
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:

B01D 3502
US Classification:

210767
Abstract:

A cap for sealing pressure vessels is disclosed. The present invention permits a nominal closure to be formed by hand tightening and a substantially higher force to be applied to a cap by a separate clamp mechanism, thereby forming a pressure seal. In certain preferred embodiments, means for providing a process flow through a hole in the seal and filtering means are also provided as part of the cap assembly. A preferred application of the cap of the present invention is for the sealing of sample vessels used for supercritical fluid extraction of compounds from a solid matrix for subsequent chemical analysis. Methods of supercritical fluid extraction are also disclosed. The present invention thus provides methods and apparatus whereby the placement of a sample into a pressurized system may be automated and monitored to ensure adequate seals have been created and maintained within such pressurized systems.

US Patent:

51428750, Sep 1, 1992
Filed:

Mar 1, 1991
Appl. No.:

7/662687
Inventors:

Michael S. James - New Castle DE
Meliss A. Powell - West Chester PA
Mark A. Nickerson - Landenberg PA
Louis T. Staats - Lincoln University PA
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:

F17C 902
US Classification:

62 505
Abstract:

A method and apparatus for accurately regulating the compressibility of a compressible fluid in a pumping system utilizing a single zone of controlled cooling. Cryogenic cooling is employed for cooling a pump head and a thermally integrated heat exchanger such that a single source of cryogenic fluid can be applied to the heat exchanger to increase the bulk modulus of the compressible fluid just prior to and during the pumping process.
