Portable dual field gradient force multichannel flow cytometer device with a dual wavelength low noise detection scheme

Patent James, Conrad D; Galambos, Paul C; Derzon, Mark S; ...

Systems and methods for combining dielectrophoresis, magnetic forces, and hydrodynamic forces to manipulate particles in channels formed on top of an electrode substrate are discussed. A magnet placed in contact under the electrode substrate while particles are flowing within the channel above the electrode substrate allows these three forces to be balanced when the system is in operation. An optical detection scheme using near-confocal microscopy for simultaneously detecting two wavelengths of light emitted from the flowing particles is also discussed.

Low noise optical position sensor

Patent Spear, Jonathan David [Berkeley, CA]

A novel optical position sensor is described that uses two component photodiodes electrically connected in parallel, with opposing polarities. A lens provides optical gain and restricts the acceptance angle of the detector. The response of the device to displacements of an optical spot is similar to that of a conventional bi-cell type position sensitive detector. However, the component photodiode design enables simpler electronic amplification with inherently less electrical noise than the bi-cell. Measurements by the sensor of the pointing noise of a focused helium-neon laser as a function of frequency demonstrate high sensitivity and suitability for optical probe beam deflectionmore » experiments. « less

Sensor for detection of liquid spills on surfaces

Patent Davis, Brent C. [Oak Ridge, TN]; Gayle, Tom M. [Oak Ridge, TN]

A surface liquid detector is disclosed for detecting liquids spilled on surfaces such as floors. A temperature-sensitive thermistor probe is used in a bridge circuit to detect the change in resistance in the thermistor due to the change in thermal conductivity that occurs when a liquid contacts the probe. The device is characterized by the ability to detect either conductive or nonconductive liquids, such as water or oil spills.

Low power and privacy preserving sensor platform for occupancy detection

Patent Velipasalar, Senem; Chai, Sek Meng; Nadamuni Raghavan, Aswin

A low-cost, low-power, stand-alone sensor platform having a visible-range camera sensor, a thermopile array, a microphone, a motion sensor, and a microprocessor that is configured to perform occupancy detection and counting while preserving the privacy of occupants. The platform is programmed to extract shape/texture from images in spatial domain; motion from video in time domain; and audio features in frequency domain. Embedded binarized neural networks are used for efficient object of interest detection. The platform is also programmed with advanced fusion algorithms for multiple sensor modalities addressing dependent sensor observations.

Low power sensor for NO_x detection

Patent Small, Leo J.; Henkelis, Susan Elizabeth; Percival, Stephen J.; ...

Detection and capture of toxic nitrogen oxides (NO_x) is important for emissions control of exhaust gases and general public health. The low power sensor provides direct electrically detection of trace (0.5-5 ppm) NO₂ at relatively low temperatures (50° C.) via changes in the electrical properties of nitrogen-oxide-capture active materials. For example, the high impedance of MOF-74 enables applications requiring a near-zero power sensor or dosimeter, such as for smart industrial systems and the internet of things, with 0.8 mg MOF-74 active material drawing <15 pW for a macroscale sensor 35 mm² area.
