Abstract
An electrochemical metal alloy identification device employing electrolytes to measure and identify different potentials of alloys is presented. This includes physical structure, disposables, electrical systems, control circuitry, and algorithms to identify alloys.
Claims13
An alloy identification device comprising:
- a housing;
- a carrier configured with multiple compartments configured to be received within the housing, the housing and carrier further including locking and unlocking mechanisms to lock the housing and carrier together and to allow the housing and carrier to be unlocked, wherein in the unlocked state the carrier is removable from the housing;
- and
- multiple cartridges, each cartridge configured to be removably inserted within one of the multiple compartments of the carrier, wherein the cartridges are configured to be interchangeable between each of the compartments of the carrier, wherein the carrier is designed to hold at least some of the interchangeable multiple cartridges at a same time, and
- wherein the housing configured to receive the carrier extends substantially a full length of each of the multiple cartridges, out to dispensing tip ends of the multiple cartridges.
