摘要: Example methods and devices for improving uniformity of temperature distribution of a microheater or a microheater array are disclosed. One example method includes determining that a temperature of a first coil segment of multiple coil segments of a microheater is lower than a temperature of a second coil segment of the multiple coil segments, where the first coil segment is closer to an edge of the microheater than the second coil segment, and the microheater is a heating component of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based device. A resistance of the first coil segment is increased through a reduction of a width of the first coil segment. After the reduction of the width of the first coil segment, a width of the second coil segment is adjusted based on a difference between the temperature of the first coil segment and the temperature of the second coil segment.

摘要: A fuel detection film includes a cyclic olefin copolymer that is insoluble in acyclic saturated hydrocarbons. The fuel detection film has a porous structure that defines a plurality of pores. The plurality of pores are configured to allow flow of a lubrication oil through the fuel detection film via the plurality of pores. A housing is configured to couple to a pipe flowing the lubrication oil. The housing defines a slot. The slot is configured to hold the fuel detection film. The fuel detection film, while held by the slot of the housing that is coupled to the pipe as the lubrication oil flows in the pipe, is configured to at least partially dissolve in a presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon in the lubrication oil flowing through the fuel detection film.

摘要: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for determining hydrocarbon fuel concentrations. A thin Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) film of a COC layer with a conductive trace that completes an electrical circuit is sputtered. The thin COC film is positioned under tension so that the thin COC film is configured to dissolve upon contact with alkyl aromatic compounds present in hydrocarbon fuels. A sample of a hydrocarbon fuel is positioned on the thin COC film. A determination is made, in response to positioning the sample, that a dissolution of the thin COC film has broken the conductive trace and has rendered the electrical circuit open. A time duration is measured from an introduction of the sample during positioning to an opening of the electrical circuit. A concentration of the hydrocarbon fuel in the sample is determined based on the time duration.

摘要: A method includes providing a cuvette containing a fluid sample having a first substance and emitting light from a light source through the cuvette containing the fluid sample for a duration of time. The cuvette is made of a material that at least partially dissolves in the presence of the first substance. Over the duration of time, the cuvette at least partially dissolves and an intensity of light that passes through the cuvette and the fluid sample changes at a rate. The method also includes receiving, by a light detector, the light that passed through the cuvette, measuring a change in intensity of the received light over the duration of time, and determining that the rate of change in intensity of the light over the duration of time is greater than a threshold rate of change.

摘要: A system includes a microfluidic device having a substrate, a reservoir defined in the substrate a microfluidic channel formed in the substrate, a microheater, and a detector. The reservoir is configured to store a fluid sample to be tested for the presence or absence of a compound. The microfluidic channel extends from the reservoir and includes a first portion fluidically connected to the reservoir, a second portion, and a detection portion fluidically connected between the first and second portions. The microheater is arranged adjacent to the reservoir and is configured to heat the fluid sample to a temperature at which the fluid sample releases a byproduct in response to being heated. The detector is arranged in the detector portion and is configured to indicate a presence or absence of the compound in the byproduct released from the heated sample.

摘要: Hydrocarbon contaminant detection system using polymer film includes a sensor assembly, a syringe, a heater assembly and a controller. The sensor assembly includes a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) film including electrically conductive materials, and can complete an electrical circuit. The COC film can dissolve in a presence of a hydrocarbon contaminant, breaking the electrical circuit. The syringe can carry a lubrication oil sample to be tested using the sensor assembly. The syringe is operable to contact the lubrication oil sample with the COC film of the sensor assembly. The heater assembly can heat the lubrication oil sample before the lubrication oil sample is loaded to the syringe. The controller can perform operations including operating the syringe to flow the heated lubrication oil sample onto the COC film of the sensor assembly at a pre-determined flowrate.
