Title: Innovations of Frederick A Ciccozzi
Introduction
Frederick A Ciccozzi is an accomplished inventor based in Erie, PA. He holds 2 patents that showcase his expertise in signal processing and flow measurement technologies. His innovative contributions have significantly impacted the fields of mass flow measurement and electronic control systems.
Latest Patents
Ciccozzi's latest patents include a mass flow meter and a signal processing system. The signal processing system is designed to directly determine the phase difference between two periodic electrical signals. It shifts two comparison signals corresponding to these periodic signals and accumulates the necessary shift to equalize their phase angles. The mass flow meter utilizes a moving conduit through which fluid flows, generating Coriolis forces that affect the motion of the conduit. This invention measures the phase difference between electrical signals produced by motion sensors to provide an accurate indication of the mass flow rate.
Another notable invention is the electronic valve controller, which is designed for controlling a meter valve system. This controller features circuitry that enables a multilevel shutdown of the meter valve system. It includes a preset batch counter, a positive displacement meter, and a diaphragm-operated globe valve. The electrical circuitry enhances and inhibits flow through the globe valve based on a comparison of the desired flow rate and the actual system flow rate.
