摘要： The measurement is conducted by means of thermogravimetric scales (10) bearing at one end of the beam (20) a catalyst body (30) for catalysing a coking reaction of the tars present in the gas state. Precautions are taken in order to ensure homogeneity and regularity of the sampled gas flow and to guarantee predominant catalysis on the catalytic body (30), the weight increase of which gives the weight of the deposited coke and indirectly the content of tars present in the gas state in the gas to be measured. A calorimetric device (34) for analyzing gases from the coking of the tars provides a complementary and/or additional measurement. The solid tars are filtered beforehand, but their content may be measured by an auxiliary device.Possible application to analyzing gases from biomass.

摘要： A gas-sensing semiconductor device 1′ is fabricated on a silicon substrate 2′ having a thin silicon dioxide insulating layer 3′ in which a resistive heater 6 made of doped single crystal silicon formed simultaneously with source and drain regions of CMOS circuitry is embedded. The device 1′ includes a sensing area provided with a gas-sensitive layer 9′ separated from the heater 6′ by an insulating layer 4′. As one of the final fabrication steps, the substrate 2′ is back-etched so as to form a thin membrane in the sensing area. The heater 6′ has a generally circular-shaped structure surrounding a heat spreading plate 16′, and consists of two sets 20′, 21′ of meandering resistors having arcuate portions nested within one another and interconnected in labyrinthine form. The fabrication of the heater at the same time as the source and drain regions of CMOS circuitry is particularly advantageous in that the gas-sensing semiconductor device is produced without requiring any fabrication steps in addition to those already employed in the IC processing apart from a post-CMOS back etch and deposition of the gas-sensitive layer. The circular design is advantageous in that it is the best solution to minimise the size of the membrane at fixed power loss and heated area.

摘要： A chemical vapor sensor is provided that passively measures a suspect chemical species of interest with high sensitivity and chemical specificity, for use with safety systems. A vapor concentrator amplifies a suspect chemical vapor concentration to a detectible level, for use with an infrared detector. Compensation is provided for environmental variations that may influence the passive measurement of the chemical vapor sensor. Environmental variations may include extrinsic vapors in the surrounding air, or air currents that divert the sample vapor as it drifts from the suspect vapor source to a sampling intake. In an example, ethanol vapor is measured and carbon dioxide tracer measurements are used to calculate an ethanol vapor measurement that is adjusted for environmental variations. In an aspect, a time artifact filter sets the output of the carbon dioxide sensor to match the time dependence of the ethanol sensor, to calculate blood alcohol concentration.

摘要： A method for detecting a gas phase constituent such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen, or hydrocarbons in a gas comprising oxygen such as air, includes providing a sensing material or film having a metal embedded in a catalytically active matrix such as gold embedded in a yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) matrix. The method may include annealing the sensing material at about 900° C., exposing the sensing material and gas to a temperature above 400° C., projecting light onto the sensing material, and detecting a change in the absorption spectrum of the sensing material due to the exposure of the sensing material to the gas in air at the temperature which causes a chemical reaction in the sensing material compared to the absorption spectrum of the sensing material in the absence of the gas. Systems employing such a method are also disclosed.
