Describes a device which embodies a method of providing a periodic test light-source beam directed at a nephelometric turbidimeter's scattered-light detector window to detect any film build-up on the scattered-light detector's optical surfaces by means of a change in reading from a previous reading.

Device for the detector of fouling on optical surfaces of a nephelometric turbidimeter submerged in a liquid

The specific wavelength of 525 nm is described as a single monochromatic light source used in the determination of turbidity by nephelometry at 90&#xb0; for particulate matter in raw water, water treatment, waste water treatment and industrial process streams. This wavelength improves the detection of smaller particle concentration in water where light scattering characteristics of shorter wavelengths are superior to light sources using longer wavelengths.

Nephelometer instrument for measuring turbidity of water

Describes a nephelometric turbidity sensor device which embodies: methods for: (a) attenuation of entrained air, (b) attenuation of bubbles, (c) attenuation of scattered light (d) interchangeable light sources with automatic indexing of algorithms (e) anti-fog windows and (f) verification of operation by self-check and (g) self-calibration.

Nephelometric turbidity sensor device

An apparatus for mounting a hookplate to a bedrail, including a device that transports bedrails into a hookplate receiving position, a hopper that stores hookplates, a first hookplate pusher sliding under the hopper and pushing a fallen hookplate, a second hookplate pusher clamping onto the hookplate and pushing the hookplate into a hookplate mounting position, a pin supply chamber, pin drivers to determine whether the apertures in the bedrail and hookplate are properly aligned, a holding plate temporarily holding pins, the pin drivers then driving their respective pins into the apertures in the bedrail and hookplate to securely fasten the assembly.

Method and apparatus for mounting bedrail hooks

A method of installing a bedrail slat system includes engaging two bed side rails with a bed headboard and footboard, and telescopically engaging a first slat member to a second slat member to form a telescoping slat. The ends of the telescoping slats are then connected to the side rails. The first and second slat members are not secured together, but a downwardly extending support is attached to the telescoping slat.

Telescoping bed slat

The present invention is directed to a bed rail hook and fastener assembly for hooking bed rails to the bedpost of headboards and footboards. The invention includes a bed rail hook configured to slide into the end of a bed rail and fasteners configured to extend partially through the bed rail and through apertures in the inserted portion of the bed rail hook in order to securely fasten the bed rail hook in the bed rail end. The same or similar fasteners used to secure the bed rail hook may also be oriented in the bedpost in a manner allowing downwardly extending hooks of the bed rail hook to engage the fasteners and securely hold the bed rail to the bedpost. The fasteners include a head, insertion end and a shank extending therebetween having annular ridges. Preferably, the annular ridges are frusto-conical and slope inwardly towards the insertion end. Additionally, a longer version of the hook fastener may be used to fasten a cleat for supporting bed slats along the lower side of the bed rail.

Bed rail hook and fastener assembly

The invention is a telescoping bed slat easily assembled for beds of various widths and heights. In particular, the invention includes a telescoping slat, one or more telescoping supports and securable mounts at terminal ends of the slat for anchoring the slat to respective bed rail cleats. Each slat includes two telescopically joined tubular sections. Preferably, the tubular sections are rectangular and include coinciding, longitudinally extending slots. The supports include a mounting head portion adapted to slideably engage the coinciding slots and extend downward from the slat toward a floor. The supports may include two telescoping tubular sections. An upper section attaches to the mounting head portion which slideably engages and extends within the slat via the longitudinally extending slot. A lower section attaches to a threadably mounted fine adjustment that permits fine adjustments in the height of the support. In the preferred embodiment, the tubular sections of the support are rectangular and include a series of through-extending apertures adapted to receive a pin, bolt or dowel in order to set the desired height of the support.
