    Abstract: Provided is a cleanable conductivity sensor and related methods having a distal sensing end in which active sensing elements are positioned and an outer fin specially configured to minimize unwanted interference without impacting the ability for automated cleaning of the distal sensing end. A rotatable wiper or brush may be periodically rotated over the distal sensing end, thereby removing unwanted biological build-up and avoiding fouling, thereby increasing the sensor deployment time without active intervention and maintenance.

    Abstract: A gas concentration measurement device (100) includes a light source (20) that emits infrared light, a detector (60) that detects the infrared light through a band pass filter (41), and a waveguide member (90) including a wave-guiding portion (93) having a tubular inner peripheral surface, an entrance portion (91) that is formed at one side of the wave-guiding portion (93) and through which the infrared light from the light source (20) is introduced, and an exit portion (92) that is formed at the other side of the wave-guiding portion (93) and guides the infrared light that has passed through the wave-guiding portion (93) toward the detector (60). A portion or entirety of the inner peripheral surface of the wave-guiding portion (93) includes a tapered region having a cross section that decreases along a direction from the entrance portion (91) to the exit portion (92). The waveguide member (90) reflects the infrared light that has entered the wave-guiding portion (93) through the entrance portion (91) in the tapered region, so that energy of the infrared light that is obliquely incident on the band pass filter (41) is reduced.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an absorption spectrometer which measures the concentration of a gas component in a measured gas and in the process operates according to a wavelength modulation spectroscopy method. The wavelength of the light of a wavelength-tunable light source is periodically varied over a gas component absorption line of interest according to a specified time function (11) and simultaneously sinusoidally modulated with a high frequency f and a low amplitude. The measurement signal of a detector, which detects the intensity of the light after passing through the measured gas, is demodulated in a phase-sensitive manner at the frequency f and/or one of the harmonics nf of the frequency and subsequently further analyzed. In order to carry out the demodulation of the measurement signal in a phase-synchronous manner relative to the modulation of the generated light, the modulation is started in each period or in each n-th period with the frequency f in a time interval (19) before the beginning of the time function (11) and is carried out with a higher amplitude than during the time function (11). The means provided for the phase-sensitive demodulation are synchronized during the time interval (19) using the frequency f contained in the measurement signal (20). Thus, a cable for transmitting synchronization signals is no longer necessary.
