    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring fluoride concentration in an aqueous solution, including: preparing a polyethylene glycol (PEG) monomethyl ether to produce an ester; reacting the ester in the presence of ammoniated tetrahydrofuran to produce an amino polyethylene glycol; placing, in a solution comprising a benzaldehyde species with a phenol functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group, a 2,3,3-trimethylindolenine derivative to produce a hemicyanine with a phenol functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group; combining, in a polar aprotic solvent, the hemicyanine with the phenol functional group and carboxylic acid functional group with a 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and adding the amino-PEG to produce a hemicyanine-PEG; and creating a fluoride sensitive hemicyanine species by reacting the hemicyanine-PEG that contains a phenol functional group with a SiR3 species. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method for determination of an unknown analyte using quantitative electrochemical generation of a detectable species, which provides specified quantities of the species, is described. As an example, free chlorine concentration measurements may be performed using N,N-Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD), or N,N-bis(2,4-di-sulfobenzyl)toluidinetetrasodium salt (SBT), for obtaining an in-situ calibration curve, whereby matrix effects are eliminated.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for measuring velocity of fluid flow in a channel, including: transmitting, using a transmitter, directed energy carrying a signal toward a surface of a fluid in a fluid channel so as to produce a plurality reflections from locations substantially spanning the entire width of the fluid channel; detecting, using a plurality of measurement beams, received signals from the plurality of reflections so produced; determining, based upon differences between transmitted and received signals, a plurality of localized velocities; and computing, from the plurality of localized velocities, a cross-sectional average velocity of fluid in the channel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method for determining the total organic carbon in a sample which includes mixing the sample with a reagent containing at least one acid effective for reacting with inorganic carbon-containing materials in the sample, and at least one oxidizing agent effective for oxidizing organic carbon-containing materials in the sample in the presence of ultraviolet radiation, and detecting the carbon dioxide generated, is described. The at least one acid may include phosphoric acid, while the oxidizing agent may include sodium persulfate. In accordance with an embodiment of the inventive concept, the sample is first injected into a reaction chamber, which is continuously flushed with carbon dioxide free gas with no UV light present, and CO2 generated from any inorganic carbon in the sample as carbonates is flowed through the detector, and may be recorded. Subsequent to this step, the UV light is passed through the reaction chamber and CO2 generated from the reaction of the at least one oxidizing agent with the organic material in the solution in the presence of ultraviolet radiation, is flowed through the detector, which may be a non-dispersive infrared detector, after the reaction chamber is sparged using a carbon dioxide free gas, and recorded.
