Abstract
Abstract A very low temperature liquid transfer system of the present invention is constructed with first and second containers, each storing therein very low temperature liquid; a connecting tube for communicatively connecting the first and second containers; a pressure control system for increasing and decreasing a pressure in the first container for pressurized transfer of the very low temperature liquid from the first container into the second container through the connecting tube; a pressure gauge for measuring a pressure in the first container; a liquid level sensor for measuring a quantity of the very low temperature liquid in the second container; and a control which functions to logically determine input signals from the pressure gauge and the liquid level sensor, and to produce an output operating signal to the pressure control system based on the logical determination.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A very low temperature liquid transfer system, which comprises in combination: (a) first and second containers, each storing therein very low temperature liquid; (b) connecting means for communicatively connecting said first and second containers; (c) a pressure control system for increasing and decreasing a pressure in said first container for pressurized transfer of the very low temperature liquid from said first container into said second container through said connecting means and for controlling the pressure in said second container; (d) a pressure gauge for measuring the pressure in said first container; (e) a liquid level sensor for measuring a quantity of said very low temperature liquid in said second container; and (f) a control circuit which functions to logically determine input signals from said pressure gauge and said liquid level sensor, and to produce an output operating signal to said pressure control system based on the logical determination.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A very low temperature liquid transfer system, which comprises in combination: (a) first and second containers, each storing therein very low temperature liquid; (b) connecting means for communicatively connecting said first and second containers; (c) a pressure control system for increasing and decreasing a pressure in said first container for pressurized transfer of the very low temperature liquid from said first container into said second container through said connecting means and for controlling the pressure in said second container; (d) a pressure gauge for measuring the pressure in said first container; (e) a liquid level sensor for measuring a quantity of said very low temperature liquid in said second container; and (f) a control circuit which functions to logically determine input signals from said pressure gauge and said liquid level sensor, and to produce an output operating signal to said pressure control system based on the logical determination.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A very low temperature liquid transfer system according to claim 1, wherein said first container is provided with the liquid level sensor for measuring the quantity of the very low temperature liquid in said first container, and a signal from said level sensor is logically determined by said control circuit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A very low temperature liquid transfer system according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said second container is provided with the pressure gauge, and a signal from said pressure gauge is logically determined by said control circuit.
