  • Estimation of toxic substance release
    Patent number: 6772071
    Abstract: A system and method for estimating an amount of substance released into an ambient thereby creating a plume includes at one sensor adapted to be positioned at the plume and making multiple concentration measurements of the released substance at multiple times. A computer-based analyzer system is programmed with an algorithm. The analyzer receives concentration measurements from the at least one sensor and the algorithm generates an estimate of amount of substance released as a function of the multiple concentration measurements and the time of the measurements.

  • Estimation of toxic substance release
    Publication number: 20020169557
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating an amount of a substance, such as a toxic chemical, being released into an ambient thereby creating a plume, includes making multiple concentration measurements of the substance, such as with at least one sensor adapted to be positioned at the plume, at multiple times. The amount of the substance released is estimated as a function of the multiple concentration measurements and the times of the measurements.
