    摘要: A method for characterizing an analyte A present in a gas sample using an electronic nose including M sensitive site, a parasitic chemical species P being present in the gas sample, the method include: a phase 100 of acquiring N first signatures, where N>1, of the gas samples containing the analyte A and the parasitic species P, the gas samples exhibiting deviations ΔcP(n) which differ from one gas sample to the next; a phase 200 of solving an optimization problem so as to obtain N corrected signatures, characterising the analyte A present in the N gas samples, from the N first signatures, by optimizing to objective functions.

    摘要: The present invention provides a capability of Ion Mobility Spectrometry/Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Mass Spectrometry (IMS/MS) in the negative ion mode for Ozone detection and methods for ozone layer depletion monitoring in laboratory environment. Ammonium hydroxide vapors, as a dopant chemical, introduced to the inlet system of the IMS/MS interfaced with the reaction sphere enables ozone ionized to be O3−. The data obtainable from proposed methods show how ozone is depleted and which compound affect the most for O3 destruction among the O3 depletion substances of Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs), Hydro Fluoro Carbons (HFCs), Hydro Chloro Fluoro Carbons (HCFCs), Hydro Chloro Bromo Carbons (HCBCs), and Hydro Chloro lodo Carbons (HClCs). Based on the results obtainable, more likely the IMS alone system without coupling with the mass spectrometer (IMS/MS) will rather be selected to develop as a spatial real time ozone layer depletion monitor. Real time monitoring device of ozone concentration in ambient atmospheric conditions can also be developed with this technique.

    摘要: A gas detection system comprising a gas sensor having a detection surface for detecting an analyte gas, the accuracy of detection being degraded by the presence of an unwanted gas at the sensor, and a thermal scrubber layer directly adjacent said detection surface of the gas sensor defining a diffusion path for the analyte and unwanted gases to traverse through to the detection surface, the diffusion path having a sufficient length and the thermal scrubber being heated by the heater to a sufficient temperature capable of at least partially thermally decomposing the unwanted gas prior to contacting the detection surface to thereby improve the accuracy of the sensor. The system further comprises a heater that is preferably arranged to heat both the detection surface and the thermal scrubber. The invention is particularly useful for improving the performance of an NO2 gas sensor in the presence of ozone (O3).

    摘要: A method can be performed by adjusting a temperature of a gas sensor to a first temperature value for a first period of time and a second temperature value for a second period of time. The gas sensor signal may be measured during the first period of time to determine a first signal value and during the second period of time to determine a second value. Then, concentration information for at least one gas is calculated according to the first signal value and the second signal value. While the gas sensor signal may include information about a presence of a first gas and a second gas, the concentration information for the at least one gas may not substantially include concentration information for the second gas.

    摘要: The subject invention is directed to a breath analyzer which is capable of detecting toxic gas levels from breath analysis. The subject invention includes a mouthpiece which is in communication with a plurality of discrete chambers, such as first and second discrete chambers, each being provided with a separate probe for breath analysis. The probes are connected to analyzers for determining detected levels of gas. In a first embodiment, a first probe may be provided for carbon monoxide detection with a second probe being provided for hydrogen cyanide detection. Advantageously, with this arrangement, breath analysis may be conducted on-site, for example at the site of a fire, to quickly and simultaneously determine carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide levels in a person's blood stream. In a second embodiment, a first probe may be provided for detection of carbon monoxide and a second probe may be provided for detection of hydrogen. With this arrangement, a calibrated correction of measured carbon monoxide data can be made to correct for improperly detected hydrogen. As such, a highly accurate on-site measurement for carbon monoxide can be achieved.

    摘要: The method consists in, first, circulating the air in which the content of a specific pollutant is to be measured through or over materials that reversibly absorb compounds in the air that interfere with the measurement of pollution. These absorbent materials are employed in the form of self-fixing patches or membranes that can be disposed of after use and are placed between the air to be measured and the measurement means. These patches or membranes can be used for all types of measurement means, such as electronic sensors or calorimetric indicators (in which case the membrane will advantageously be transparent). This actual pre-treatment of the air will thus allow reliable, reproducible measurement irrespective of the environmental conditions (humidity, presence of other pollutants, etc.). For humidity, for example, the membrane will consist of silica gel or cotton wool. A first application is an individualized warning device that can be carried on the reverse of a jacket or on the wrist, for alerting asthmatics to the presence of a peak in ozone pollution or sulphur and nitrogen oxide pollution.
