Patent number: 10989645Abstract: This invention provides, e.g., devices for detection of particle concentrations in a vessel in real time from outside the vessel. The device is attached to the vessel so that light from an optic fiber enters a media of the vessel, is scattered by the particles, and the scattered light received by a second optic fiber. The received light is transmitted to a detector, generating a signal to a processor for determination of a particle concentration.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ABER INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Gerald P. Coleman, Martin P. Debreczeny, Jaime Romero

Patent number: 8603772Abstract: This invention provides a novel methods and devices for measurement of particle concentration or changes in particle concentration over a wide linear range. The invention comprises one or more radiation sources and one or more detectors contained in a housing which is interfaced to a medium containing particulate matter. The one or more radiation sources are directed into the medium, scattered or transmitted by the particulate matter, and then some portion of the radiation is detected by the one or more detectors. Methods for confining the measurement to a specific volume within the medium are described. Algorithms are provided for combining the signals generated by multiple source-detector pairs in a manner that results in a wide linear range of response to changes in particle concentration. In one embodiment the sensor provides non-invasive measurements of biomass in a bioreactor. In another embodiment an immersible probe design is described, which may be suited for one-time use.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2008Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Bug Lab LLCInventors: Martin P.

Patent number: 6385205Abstract: A hardware-only filter system for controlling data packet traffic across a computer network, characterized by the provision of a grid having columns and rows, a grid populating device for introducing into the squares of the grid, respectively, binary numbers that are a function of the comparison between an incoming packet and the column and row headers of the grid. The insertion of the binary numbers into the square of the grid is controlled by an offset positioning device containing predetermined offset instructions. When the squares of any given column are all positive matched values, the filter system is operable to pass the entire approved packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2000Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the National Security AgencyInventor: Jaime A.
