20160135277 | REDUCTION OF AMBIENT GAS ENTRAINMENT AND ION CURRENT NOISE IN PLASMA BASED SPECTROMETRY - In a plasma source configured for producing sample atoms for analysis, such as by optical emission spectrometry or mass spectrometry, a plasma torch includes a torch exit in a chamber. A baffle is positioned between the torch exit and an opposing boundary. The baffle may be positioned and configured to suppress or eliminate vortex shedding in the chamber. | 05-12-2016 |

20120067745 | DEVICE FOR PROVIDING A MEANS FOR INTERNAL CALIBRATION IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR - Internally calibrated pH and other analyte sensors based on redox agents provide more accurate results when the redox active reference agent is in a constant chemical environment, yet separated from the solution being analyzed in such a way as to maintain electrical contact with the sample. Room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) can be used to achieve these results when used as a salt bridge between the reference material and the sample being analyzed. The RTIL provides the constant chemical environment and ionic strength for the redox active material (RAM) and provides an electrolytic layer that limits or eliminates direct chemical interaction with the sample. A broad range of RAMs can be employed in a variety of configurations in such “Analyte Insensitive Electrode” devices. | 03-22-2012 |
20120090995 | DEVICE FOR DETECTING AN ANALYTE - Devices for detecting an analyte comprising a redox active analyte sensitive material on a working electrode and computer assisted signal acquisition and processing. | 04-19-2012 |
