Patent number: 9254500Abstract: A feed aerosol comprising detectable particles is injected into a mix-enhancing swirler. Diluting gas is also injected into the mix-enhancing swirler and mixed with the feed aerosol in a swirling motion to form an aerosol with a particle concentration no greater than 1,000 particles per liter. The aerosol is then injected into a mixing chamber, where the aerosol is mixed and dried; the inner diameter of the mixing chamber is at least twice as great as that of the swirl chamber. The aerosol is then emitted through a flow straightener that removes swirl from the flow of the aerosol and passed through a delivery conduit, where the particles are detected and counted; and the particle count is compared with a target count. The respective flows of feed aerosol and diluting gas can then be increased or decreased based on a comparison of the particle count with the target count.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Jesse Allen Linnell, Trina Rae Vian, Joseph Renard Morency, Anlong Dai, Mark Eric Bury, Thomas Sebastian, Carlos Andres Aguilar, Joseph John Lacirignola, Jay D.

Publication number: 20140246599Abstract: An apparatus for illuminating individual particles comprising a device for moving and directing air containing particles into a system, the system comprising an electrodynamic linear quadrupole section, an ultra-violet electromagnetic radiation source located along the electrodynamic linear quadrupole section, and a collection device for collecting the particles. A method of illuminating individual particles comprising moving and directing air containing particles into a system, controlling the air flow by using an air pump that continuously pulls or pushes air through the system, directing the particles into an electrodynamic linear quadrupole section, confining the particles to the central axis of the electrodynamic linear quadrupole section, illuminating the particles with ultra-violet electromagnetic radiation, interrogating the particles, and collecting the particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2013Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Matthew B Hart, Patrick M Nolan, Jay D Eversole

Patent number: 4523327Abstract: An anode target comprises a copper block having different elemental target materials bonded to segments of the circumference, which rotate past the electron emitting cathode, to provide different emission lines in sequence. Aluminum and silicon target materials produce lines which bracket the aluminum absorption edge, to detect small amounts of aluminum in the presence of other absorbing materials by differential absorption of these two lines. Silver and rhodium may be used to bracket the chlorine absorption edge.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1983Date of Patent: June 11, 1985Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventor: Jay D.
