    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for detecting particulate matter in the air. A particulate matter sensor may comprise an airflow channel; a light source configured to pass light through the airflow channel; an airflow generator configured to generate airflow into the airflow channel; a waveguide configured to direct light from the light source after it passes through the airflow channel and scatters off of particulate matter within the airflow channel; a photodiode configured to receive light scattered by the waveguide; and a computing device coupled to the photodiode having a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, determines a mass concentration of particles in the airflow channel based on an output of the photodiode.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus (11) for analysing an exhaust gas of a vehicle, comprising a sample chamber (29) for receiving the exhaust gas, a heating device (24) for heating the exhaust gas provided to the sample chamber (29), and an infrared analysis device (23) having an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter is operable to transmit an infrared beam into the exhaust gas in the sample chamber (29), and the infrared receiver is operable to receive scattered infrared light from the exhaust gas in the sample chamber (29). The infrared analysis device (23) is operable to receive a signal from the infrared receiver and to compare it with a threshold level. A pass indication is issued if the exhaust gas is below the threshold level and a fail indication is issued if the exhaust gas is above the threshold level. The threshold level may correspond to a change in signal level equivalent to a predetermined density of particulates in the exhaust gas. The infrared receiver may be configured to generate the signal based on infrared light scattered from particles having a particle size preferably in the range 0.3 μm to 10 μm. Processing circuitry is preferably configured to operate the apparatus in a warm-up mode during a first period, during which the heater device (24) is activated. A fan (22), upstream of the sample chamber (29) and for delivering exhaust gas thereto, may be operated at one of a plurality of selectable fan speeds, the fan (22) being successively switched to higher ones of the selectable fan speeds. A method of analysing an exhaust gas is also disclosed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for increasing the accuracy of a turbidity sensor are disclosed. The systems include a turbidity sensor and a flow module with a specialized flow path, with the turbidity sensor engaging with the flow module such that a measurement zone of the turbidity sensor is disposed within a flow path of the flow module and a bypass path of the flow module does not pass through the measurement zone. The methods include flowing a fluid containing bubbles into a system that separates the fluid in the flow module into a first stream of fluid containing relatively more bubbles and a second stream of fluid containing relatively fewer bubbles, the first stream flowing through a bypass path that does not pass through the measurement zone, and the second stream flowing through the measurement zone of the turbidity sensor.

    摘要: A vehicular airborne particulate detection system in one embodiment includes a particulate matter concentration sensor positioned in a passenger space of a vehicle. The particulate matter concentration sensor generates a signal associated with an airborne particulate matter concentration in the passenger space which is analyzed by a controller to identify a cyclical particulate matter concentration pattern which is classified as a smoking event. The controller then generates an output using a user interface based upon the classified smoking event.

    摘要: In a starch concentration measurement, a liquid sample is conducted from a liquid sample such as pulp suspension or filtrate of a paper, board or tissue process. An iodine solution is added to the sample, and a light absorbance or transmittance of the sample is measured at a wavelength longer than about 650 nm, for example longer than about 700 nm. The measured absorbance or transmittance of the sample is converted into the starch concentration of the sample by a predefined correlation between a starch concentration and a light absorbance or transmittance.
