Patents by Inventor Bernhard H. Radziuk

Bernhard H. Radziuk 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: 7871183
    Abstract: A light source for an atomizing device, specifically an atom absorption spectrometer comprising one, two, or more lamps, whose ray can be selected by means of at least one two-dimensionally moveable optical selection element, and which can be directed in the direction of atomizing device. Fine-tuning is thereby achieved quickly with little constructive expenditure and with low costs. A very high degree of accuracy is possible from the selector through a rotational and highly adjustable rotation spindle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7656521
    Abstract: In a spectroscopic process a sample for producing a test spectral line or spectrum of at least one component contained in the sample is stimulated and the transmitted and/or emitted electromagnetic rays are used to create the test spectral line or spectrum. In order to improve such a spectroscopic process to such an extent that variations of certain parameters, which alter the shape and/or occurrence of a spectral line, are compensated, a comparison spectral line or spectrum of a known comparison material is produced under substantially the same parameters as the sample. The comparison spectral line or spectrum is compared with an ideal comparison spectral line or spectrum in order to calculate a transfer function, and the transfer function is applied to the test spectral line or spectrum in order to calculate a corrected test spectral line or spectrum.

  • Patent number: 7167238
    Abstract: Atom absorption spectroscopy method generates at least one first beam of monochromatic radiation at a certain wavelength. Radiation is separated into a test beam and a reference beam, and only the test beam is led through a test area. Subsequently, both beams pass through a slot system into a monochromator, and after their spectral breakdown, reach a detector system. In order to improve such atom absorption spectroscopy method in a way that allows the test beam and the reference beam as well as their spectra to be guided close to, or adjacent to one other onto the detector system, and, at the same time enables a simple and easy adaptation of the spectrometer's effective spectral range to a monochromator's characteristics, the test beam and the reference beam thus pass through different slots in the slot system and are projected onto essentially spatially separate areas of the detector system, with their spectra's broken-down.
