Patent number: 11867660Abstract: Device and methods for controlling pH or ionic gradient comprising a multisite array of feedback electrode sets comprising electrodes and pH sensing elements. The electrodes can include a reference electrode, counter electrode, and a working electrode. The device and methods iteratively select an amount of current and/or voltage to be applied to each working electrode, apply the selected amount of current and/or voltage to each working electrode to change pH of a solution close to the working electrode, and measure the signal output of the sensing element. The multisite array can include feedback and non-feedback electrode sets.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Christopher Johnson, Sam Kavusi, Nadezda Fomina, Habib Ahmad, Autumn Maruniak, Christoph Lang, Ashwin Raghunathan, Young Shik Shin, Armin Darvish, Efthymios Papageorgiou
