  • Publication number: 20230036932
    Abstract: The invention concerns sensors (1) for detection of gas, in particular sensors for detection of transcutaneous gas such as CO2, and methods for manufacturing a sensor (1). The sensor (1) comprises at least one radiation source (3) for emitting radiation, at least one detector (4) for detection of radiation emitted by the radiation source (3), and at least one measurement chamber (6) for receiving the sample gas. The radiation source (3), the detector (4), and the measurement chamber (6) are arranged such that at least a part of the radiation propagates along a path passing through the measurement chamber (6). The sensor (1) further comprises a casing (7), wherein the radiation source (3), the detector (4), the measurement chamber (6) are arranged. The sensor (1) has a contact face (8) which is directable towards a measuring site and the sensor (1) has at least one gas-access channel (9) enabling gas to migrate from the contact face (8) into the measurement chamber (6).

  • Patent number: 11259723
    Abstract: A sensor (1) for detection of gas, in particular for detection of CO2. The sensor (1) has a contact face (2) which is directed towards a measuring site. The sensor (1) includes at least one radiation source (3), a measurement volume (4) for receiving the gas to be measured, and at least a first detector (5) for detection of radiation transmitted from the source (3) to the first detector (5) through the measurement volume (4). The sensor has a path (6) of the radiation between radiation source (3) and first detector (5). The radiation propagates along the path in a non-imaging way.

  • Patent number: 10105065
    Abstract: A device for applying a sensor to a measurement site on a patient's skin has a wall arrangement defining an applicator volume above the patient's skin. The wall arrangement has a patient's side and a sensor side. At least one gas-permeable membrane separates the applicator volume into a first volume directed to the measuring site at the patient's side of the wall arrangement and a second volume separated from the patient's skin and directed to the sensor side of the wall arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9666745
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a compound film comprising a substrate and at least one additional layer is disclosed. The method comprising the steps of depositing at least two chemical elements on the substrate and/or on the at least one additional layer using depositions sources, maintaining depositing of the at least two chemical elements while the substrate and the deposition sources are being moved relative to each other, measuring the compound film properties, particularly being compound film thickness, compound-film overall composition, and compound-film composition in one or several positions of the compound film, comparing the predefined values for the compound film properties to the measured compound film properties, and adjusting the deposition of the at least two chemical elements in case the measured compound film properties do not match the predefined compound film properties.

  • Patent number: 8420979
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for laser beam processing of an element (12) that has a total transmittance for light of at least 10?5, comprising a laser unit (1) for generating a laser beam on one side of the to-be-processed element (12), an illumination unit (7), an imaging system (10) comprising a sensor unit on the one side of the to-be-processed element (12), the sensor unit recording residual light that results from light of the illumination unit (7), a scanning unit (2) for adjusting the laser beam processing position, and a control unit. The control unit is operatively connected to the laser unit (1), the imaging system (10) and the scanning unit (2), and the illumination unit (7) is positioned on the other side of the to-be-processed element (12) in relation to the laser unit (1). Since the to-be-processed element (12) allows light to pass through an otherwise opaque or almost opaque layer, a good contrast is obtained that is used to determine the position of the laser beam with high precision.
