  • Method for intelligent sampling of particulates in exhaust lines
    Patent number: 7024950
    Abstract: An in-situ particle monitor in an exhaust controls a particle sampler so that when a predetermined particle threshold is detected, the particle sampler is caused to gather samples from the exhaust in real-time. Electrical control signals are monitored to correlate variations in the signals with particle excursions for both analysis and sample collection triggering.
    Type: Grant
