Patent number: 10241076Abstract: In a method for identifying an explosive in a sample, an explosive fingerprint defined by a set of kinetic parameters is received. The kinetic parameters describe a plurality of interactions between the explosive and each of a respective plurality of functional moieties. A data processor is used for accessing a database of explosive fingerprints, and searching the database for a database fingerprint matching the received fingerprint.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Tracense System Ltd.Inventors: Fernando Patolsky, Ronen Shacham, Amir Lichtenstein, Ehud Havivi, Ehud Hahamy

Publication number: 20180067092Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for detecting nitro-containing compounds such as TNT, which utilize semiconductor nanostructures modified by a functional moiety that interacts with the nitro-containing compound, are disclosed. The functional moiety is attached to the nanostructures and is being such that upon contacting a sample that contains the nitro-containing compound, the nanostructure exhibits a detectable change in an electrical property, which is indicative of the presence and/or amount of the nitro-containing compound in the sample. Electronic noses for generating recognition patterns of various nitro-containing compounds, made of a plurality of nanostructures modified by versatile functional moieties are also disclosed. The devices, methods and systems are suitable for detecting nitro-containing compounds in both liquid and gaseous states and for detecting a concentration of a nitro-containing compound such as TNT as low as attomolar concentrations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2017Publication date: March 8, 2018Applicant: Tracense Systems Ltd.Inventors: Fernando PATOLSKY, Yoni ENGEL, Roey ELNATHAN
