    摘要: The new particle sensor is used for assaying particles and includes a light source comprising one or a plurality of light-emitting laser diodes. Light from each diode propagates along a flexible conduit or "light pipe," preferably a separate fiber optic strand. The sensor has a low voltage power supply and drives the diodes at 1-5 VDC. Light from one or bundled fiber optic strand(s) is focused by a focusing lens to provide an intense light beam for small-particle detection. For improved design flexibility, the light source may be mounted independently of the light beam long axis.

    摘要: A portable microbial gaseous-fluid sampler includes a gaseous-fluid flow system at least partially supported by a structure. The gaseous-fluid flow system includes a gaseous-fluid intake portion having an intake port, a blower in fluid communication with the intake port, and a gaseous-fluid exhaust portion having an exhaust port. The sampler can further include an exhaust filter operable to substantially filter a totality of the gaseous fluid flowing through the sampler prior to exhausting the gaseous fluid. The sampler also can include a control system operable to control at least gaseous-fluid flow through the sampler, and a remote sampling head.

    摘要: Disclosed is a particle sensor having a light beam with a beam long axis and an air flow tube with an inlet end and a particle exit mouth. In an aspect of the invention, the cross-sectional area of the flow passage at the inlet end is greater than the cross-sectional area of the exit mouth. This enlarged area dramatically reduces pressure drop along the tube. The exit mouth is in registry with the light beam and is elongate in a direction substantially parallel to the beam long axis. Thus, particles flowing through the mouth pass through the beam. In another aspect, the invention includes a centrifugal blower which is light in weight and which may be battery powered.

    摘要: The disclosure involves a particle sensor having a mirror cavity unobstructed by masks and the like. A light detector is at the mirror secondary focal point and well outside the mirror cavity. A variation includes a beam splitter and a secondary light detector to improve detection of larger particles. A second embodiment includes a pair of elliptical mirrors offset along the light beam. Light reflected by the second mirror represents only changes in laser power and light scattered by gas molecules. The resulting signal is subtracted from that produced by the first mirror to obtain a relatively "clean" signal useful to assay very small particles.
