20120254946 | ESTABLISHING PRIVILEGES THROUGH CLAIMS OF VALUABLE ASSETS - A service accessible by a set of entities may be provided to each entity at a different service level (e.g., with a different set of privileges) based on the privilege level of the entity. However, many users may attempt to perform malicious activities through the service, and may do so with impunity if the penalties of detection are inconsequential. Instead, privilege levels of entities may be established based on the claims of assets having identifiable value. Such claims may be established by submitting an asset identifier to the service, such as proof of a software license identified by the submission of a license key purchased at a substantial cost. The penalties of malicious activities performed by such users may include the invalidation of such asset identifiers. Establishing the privilege levels of respective entities in this manner raises the penalties, and hence the deterrence, of attempted malicious use of the service. | 10-04-2012 |

20130188182 | Raman Apparatus and Method for Real Time Calibration Thereof - A Raman spectrometer optically separates an optical signal scattered by a sample from an incident excitation light beam into an unshifted return component at a first wavelength and one or more Raman scattered components at shifted wavelengths characteristic of the sample. The unshifted return component—but not the Raman scattered components—is attenuated prior to impinging on an optical detector. The unshifted return then serves as the basis for real-time calibration to account for fluctuations in optical intensity, wavelength shift, and/or spectral peak width, based on a comparison of the unshifted return peak to a reference standard for stable reflectance. | 07-25-2013 |
20140118731 | Adaptive Front Lens for Raman Spectroscopy Free Space Optics - A Raman spectroscopy system features free space optics, wherein an excitation laser beam is directed to a sample, and Raman scattered photons are collected from a desired point of the excitation beam's impact on the sample, through the air, without the use of fiber optics. The excitation laser is directed to a sample, such as fluid flowing in a pipe, through a sight glass in the pipe. A front lens assembly, having a fixed focal point at a predetermined z-axis distance in front of the front-most lens, collects Raman scattered photons, which pass through an optical system to a detector. The Collection Point (CP), or the point along the excitation beam (and within the sample) at which Raman scattered photons are collected—which coincides with the focal point of the front lens assembly—is controlled by physically translating the front lens assembly along the optical axis. | 05-01-2014 |
20140118732 | Analytical Instrumentation in Hazardous Environments via Static Pressurization - An analytical instrument suitable for a use in a variety of industrial environments features a housing having a sealed primary chamber filled with a dry, inert gas at a first static pressure.

One or more pressure switches, in pressure-sensing relationship with both chambers, is operative to interrupt the application of power to the instrumentation system if the differential between first and second pressures falls below a predetermined value. In this manner, the instrumentation system is rendered safe whenever the primary chamber is breached or otherwise loses inert gas pressure. | 05-01-2014 |
