  • Patent number: 11199526
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a content of a hydrocarbon or other compound, such as a C3 to C7 hydrocarbon, in a condensed steam sample. Cooled steam condensate can be flowed through a sample chamber including an inner overflow tube. When the flow stops, water can be drained from the sample chamber, and then the sample chamber can be opened to allow fluid communication with a vapor chamber above the sample chamber. This can allow hydrocarbons in the condensed steam (and/or other gas) to be transferred from the sample chamber into the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber can then be isolated from the sample chamber. At least a portion of the content of the vapor chamber can then be passed to a detection volume, such as the characterization cell for a gas chromatography system.

  • Patent number: 11199453
    Abstract: A method includes directing a first plurality of probe laser pulses through a sample, dividing each of the first plurality of probe laser pulses to generate a first interferogram, and generating first image data reproducible as a first phase image of the sample. A plurality of pump laser bursts are directed onto the sample to heat the sample. A second plurality of probe laser pulses are directed through the sample at a predetermined time delay. Each of the second plurality of probe laser pulses are divided to generate a second interferogram. Second image data is generated that is reproducible as a second phase image of the sample. A transient phase shift is determined in the second phase image relative to the first phase image. A vibrational spectroscopy property is determined of the sample based on the transient phase shift, thereby allowing an identification of chemical bond information of within the sample.

  • Patent number: 11200184
    Abstract: An interrupt control device between clock domains is provided. An interrupt sharing logic is configured to receive one or more original interrupt signals and generate a combined interrupt signal. An interrupt processing logic is configured to output a processed interrupt signal to a processor according to the combined interrupt signal, so that the processor executes an interrupt service routine. When the interrupt service routine is executed, the processed interrupt signal changes to be disabled; before the interrupt service routine is completed, the processor outputs an interrupt clear signal to change the respective interrupt signal to be negated. After the interrupt processing logic detects that interrupt signal has been cleared successfully, the interrupt processing logic will generate the processed interrupt signal according to the combined interrupt signal again.
