| 20080315863 | Apparatus For the Measurement of a Streaming Potential of a Liquid Containing Solid Matter - Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring a streaming potential of a liquid containing solid matter. Said apparatus comprises a first electrode device relative to the direction of flow, said first electrode device being provided with a first rod-shaped electrode, as well as a second electrode device encompassing a second rod-shaped electrode, and a filter device located between the electrode devices. In order to improve the reproducibility and stability of the test results, the first electrode is embedded in a wall of a duct of the first electrode device so as to protrude into the duct by a maximum of half the diameter thereof perpendicular to the direction of flow. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090096440 | Methods and Systems for Measurement of Fluid Electrical Stability - The invention relates particularly to methods and apparatuses for characterizing water-in-oil or invert emulsion fluids for use in drilling well bores in hydro-carbon bearing subterranean formations. A fluid stability measurement device is disclosed. The device comprises a reference electrode and a second electrode coupled to an insulating body. A guard electrode is placed in the path between the reference electrode and the second electrode on the surface of the insulating body. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100060260 | MEASUREMENT SENSOR, METHOD FOR ANALYZING A NONPOLAR LIQUID, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MEASUREMENT SENSOR - A measurement sensor for analyzing a nonpolar liquid contains a field effect transistor that has an exposed gate contact for wetting with the nonpolar liquid, and an electrical shield that surrounds the gate contact and has openings for inflow and outflow of the nonpolar liquid. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100148752 | METHOD FOR TESTING SEPARATION MODULES - New methods and apparatus are described for assessing the integrity of a separation module or filtration system. A principle embodiment concerns use of a transient pulse of challenge species to probe a spiral wound module. The resulting time-dependent concentration of challenge species in the permeate is detected, recorded, and compared to a reference. An apparatus is further claimed for detecting permeate conductivity at multiple points within the permeate collection tube of a spiral wound module. Also disclosed is a process whereby the permeate stream from a filtration system is concentration by a high recovery membrane apparatus prior to measurement of challenge species concentration. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110148394 | Fluid Conductivity Sensor for Actuating and Testing an Electroexploding Device - Disclosed is an apparatus for sensing the electrical conductivity of fluid wherein when electrodes of the apparatus are exposed to fluid. When the electrodes are exposed to a fluid with a predetermined salinity, a voltage is developed on a capacitor which in turn fires a load, such as a resistive bridge wire. Also disclosed is a testing circuit, whereby the integrity of the circuit can be ascertained without the necessity of actually firing the circuit. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20140184196 | NANOSCALE WIRES, NANOSCALE WIRE FET DEVICES, AND NANOTUBE-ELECTRONIC HYBRID DEVICES FOR SENSING AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - The present invention generally relates to nanotechnology, including field effect transistors and other devices used as sensors (for example, for electrophysiological studies), nanotube structures, and applications. Certain aspects of the present invention are generally directed to transistors such as field effect transistors, and other similar devices. In one set of embodiments, a field effect transistor is used where a nanoscale wire, for example, a silicon nanowire, acts as a transistor channel connecting a source electrode to a drain electrode. In some cases, a portion of the transistor channel is exposed to an environment that is to be determined, for example, the interior or cytosol of a cell. A nanotube or other suitable fluidic channel may be extended from the transistor channel into a suitable environment, such as a contained environment within a cell, so that the environment is in electrical communication with the transistor channel via the fluidic channel. In some embodiments, the rest of the transistor channel may be coated, e.g., so that the electrical properties of the transistor channel reflect the electrical behavior of the environment that the fluidic channel is in communication with. Other aspects of the invention are generally directed to methods of making such sensors, methods of using such sensors, kits involving such sensors, or the like. | 07-03-2014 |
