Patents by Inventor Nitzan Tzanani

Nitzan Tzanani has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6627454
    Abstract: The invention provides a gas chromatography method for analyzing materials vaporizable in a gas chromatograph system, the method including filling a sample injection device with a sample of the compounds to be analyzed; transferring the sample compounds into an analytical separation column with a transfer gas; passing a carrier gas inside the analytical separation column for time separation of the sample compounds; controlling the temperature of the column for achieving separation of the sample compounds; transferring the vaporized sample compounds eluted from the column into a flame ionization detector; providing the gases required for the operation of the flame ionization detector, and analyzing the data output of the flame ionization detector for analysis of the sample compounds, wherein the gases required for the operation of the gas chromatograph system are produced by water electrolysis.

  • Patent number: 6096178
    Abstract: The invention provides a water electrolyzer device for generating a premixed hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture and for directing said gas mixture into a flame ionization detector, the device including a water container for performing water electrolysis; an electrode for passing electrolysis current in the water; and a water mist and vapor pressure management system for the elimination of water mist and reduction of the water relative humidity below the saturation point, the system being located between the water electrolyzer and the flame ionization detector. A method based on water electrolysis for the provision of a combustible gas mixture for the operation of a flame ionization detector is also provided.

  • Patent number: 5741711
    Abstract: A flame based method for analyzing a sample by introducing the sample into a combustible gas mixture, igniting the combustible gas mixture to produce a flame, and detecting a characteristic of the resulting flame to determine the identity and/or concentration of one or more chemical substances in the sample, wherein the combustible gas mixture is generated by water electrolysis. The same method is also utilizable for determining the identity and/or concentration of one or more chemical compounds in the sample. A flame based detector apparatus for analyzing a sample is also described.
