    Abstract: The sensor arrangement, performance-monitored machine system, and method, utilize radiance of exhaust streams to indicate performance deviation, due to combustion instability or machine malfunction, in propulsion gas turbine engines, augmentors used on such engines, stationary power generating gas turbine engines, and other air-breathing combustion-based turbine machines and systems. Sensor operation is based upon high-speed measurements of radiant emission from the hot exhaust stream, taken at a minimum rate of 2000, and preferably at a rate of at least 8000, samples per second. Select infrared wavelengths of light are used to capture temporal variations in the radiance, which are Fourier analyzed to determine the magnitude and frequency of the combustion instability. The apparatus and method enable detection of incipient combustion instability, combustion system health, power loss, stall, surge, and fuel light-off; information and feedback are available for combustion control, to provide an early warning and diagnosis of a physical and/or mechanical malfunction, and to indicate a need for condition-based maintenance.

    Abstract: The invention provides a passive fluidics circuit for directing different fluids to a common volume, such as a reaction chamber or flow cell, without intermixing or cross contamination. The direction and rate of flow through junctions, nodes and passages of the fluidics circuit are controlled by the states of upstream valves (e.g. opened or closed), differential fluid pressures at circuit inlets or upstream reservoirs, flow path resistances, and the like. Free diffusion or leakage of fluids from unselected inlets into the common outlet or other inlets at junctions or nodes is prevented by the flow of the selected inlet fluid, a portion of which sweeps by the inlets of unselected fluids and exits the fluidics circuit by waste ports, thereby creating a barrier against undesired intermixing with the outlet flow through leakage or diffusion. The invention is particularly advantageous in apparatus for performing sensitive multistep reactions, such as pH-based DNA sequencing reactions.

In one embodiment, the characteristic of said chemical or biological sample is a concentration of a charged species and wherein each of said chemical field effect transistors is an ion-sensitive field effect transistor having a floating gate with a dielectric layer on a surface thereof, the dielectric layer contacting said sample fluid and being capable of accumulating charge in proportion to a concentration of the charged species in said sample fluid. In one embodiment such charged species is a hydrogen ion such that the sensors measure changes in pH of the sample fluid in or adjacent to the sample-retaining region thereof. Apparatus and chips of the invention may be adapted for large scale pH-based DNA sequencing and other bioscience and biomedical applications.
