Patent number: 11927514Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a measurement process for a measurement system having a fluid detector, which is provided with a preconcentrator and a fluid sensor. The measurement system for detecting a concentration of a substance to be detected has a sorption phase, during which the fluid to be detected is enriched for a sorption duration (t) in the preconcentrator in a first state, and a measurement phase, in which a concentration of the substance to be detected resulting from the release of the substance to be detected that was enriched in the preconcentrator is measured. The fluid detector is calibrated by adjusting the sorption duration (t).Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignees: UNIVERSITÄT DES SAARLANDES, 3S GMBHInventors: Tilman Sauerwald, Andreas Schütze, Caroline Schultealbert, Oliver Brieger, Robin Diener, Martin Leidinger, Thorsten Conrad, Wolfhard Reimringer

Patent number: 9498777Abstract: Cells having cavities and the manufacture and use of the same are described. An example cell includes a first layer including a gap to at least partially define a cavity and a reservoir area to receive material to enter the cavity by diffusion. Additionally, the cell includes one or more other layers coupled to the first layer to at least partially define the cavity and to hermetically seal the cavity from an exterior environment.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Inventors: Henning Völlm, Ulrich Schmid, Andreas Schütze, Helmut Seidel, Dara Feili
