20120203529 | Paramagnetic Gas Sensor Apparatus and Adjustment Method - This present invention relates to a device for the measurement of the amount of oxygen in a gas mixture, or other gas with significantly different magnetic susceptibility than the background gas mixture, by the use of a suspended test body in a magnetic field that experiences force due to the magnetic susceptibility of the measurand gas. In order to enable a fast time response for the system with a change in oxygen concentration, a flow regime is presented which allows a fast sweep of the measurement volume combined with adjustable, balanced pressure drops via a flow balancing element (or elements) within the flow channels to independently minimise flow related uncertainties. | 08-09-2012 |
20150268095 | Method and System for Correcting Incident Light Fluctuations in Absorption Spectroscopy - A method and system for correcting the effect of intensity fluctuations of the transmitted light in an absorption spectroscopy system used for the detection or measurement of chemical species in a medium, whereby one or more modulation bursts are imposed onto a light beam that passes through the medium. This burst signal may be obtained by modulating the bias current of a tunable diode laser, and the modulation burst signal may be optimally at the second harmonic of the modulation frequency of a wavelength modulated beam to allow usage of the same signal path processing used for the spectroscopic detection of the measurand for a second harmonic detection system. The burst signal can be controlled using a smooth window function to minimise the effects of non-linear perturbations that are inherent in tunable diode laser wavelength modulation spectroscopy systems, of optical interference fringes (etalons) and of the residual light absorption by background chemical species or the measurand at the wavelength coinciding with the modulation burst. | 09-24-2015 |
