Abstract: A method for detecting a gas phase constituent such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen, or hydrocarbons in a gas comprising oxygen such as air, includes providing a sensing material or film (20, 120) having a metal embedded in a catalytically active matrix such as gold embedded in a yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) matrix. The method may include annealing the sensing material at about 900°C, exposing the sensing material (20, 120) and gas to a temperature above 400°C, projecting light onto the sensing material (20, 120), and detecting a change in the absorption spectrum of the sensing material due to the exposure of the sensing material to the gas in air at the temperature which causes a chemical reaction in the sensing material compared to the absorption spectrum of the sensing material in the absence of the gas. Systems (700) employing such a method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A photochemical sensing system enables the measurement of nitrogen oxides (nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide) by photolyzing nitrogen dioxide to form oxygen atoms which combine with oxygen molecules to form ozone. Ozone reacts with nitric oxide to for nitrogen dioxide - decreasing ozone. Changes in ozone concentration are measured as a surrogate for the nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide. Any species which photolyzes to yield oxygen atoms may be measured by this technique. Additional specificity for nitrogen oxides is conferred by allowing the nitric oxide to react with the ozone to recreate the nitrogen dioxide. By periodically photolyzing the nitrogen dioxide (to form ozone), and then allowing the resulting nitric oxide to react with the ozone (thereby reducing ozone), a pulsed signal is obtained whose amplitude is proportional to the total amount of nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide present. Medical applications include measuring nitric oxide concentrations in expired air samples.

Abstract: Nitrogen-containing compounds are detected by chemically converting (210) them to nitrogen dioxide, and detecting (10) the amount of nitrogen dioxide. A semiconductor laser or light emitting diode (132) provides a modulated light (131) in the blue- violet-green wavelength range and a narrow bandwidth photo-acoustic sensor (10) detects the standing waves produced by the absorption of the light by the nitrogen dioxide. The photo-acoustic sensor (10) uses a resonant cavity (161, 182a-b) with a resonant frequency that corresponds to the modulation frequency of the light (131). For detecting nitric oxide, a surface chemical oxidation unit (210) is preferably used to convert the nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide, using, for example potassium permanganate (KMnO4) filter, or a platinum (Pt) catalyst unit (260).

Abstract: The invention concerns a handheld, small but accurate and reliable device for diagnostic NO measurements using a NO sensor, where the parameters governing the taking of the sample are different from the parameters optimal for the accuracy of said NO sensor. By temporarily storing a portion of the exhaled air, and feeding this to the sensor at a flow rate adapted to the NO sensor, the accuracy and sensitivity of a system / method involving NO sensors, in particular electrochemical NO sensors, can be increased. The method for diagnostic NO measurements comprises steps for controlling the inhalation of NO free air, as well as the exhalation, both by built-in means and by audible and/or visual feedback to the patient.
