  • Systems and methods for improving detection accuracy in electronic trace detectors
    Patent number: 11609214
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present specification provide methods and systems for maintaining accuracy and precision of calibration for a detector. The methods and systems include reducing the humidity of an internal calibration assembly by directing flow path of dry air periodically through the internal calibration assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and Methods for Improving Throughput, Precision, and Accuracy in Electronic Trace Detectors
    Publication number: 20200406313
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present specification provide methods and systems for clearing a detector of contaminants or any other undesirable substances that may affect operation of detector. The methods and systems enable a clear-down mode to clear the detector after an alarm is detected during sampling by the detector. The clear-down mode may be enabled immediately upon detecting a substance of interest. Further, the clear-down mode is effective to increase and direct all air flow through the detector in order to maximally purge contaminants from the detector.
