  • Automatic power control liquid particle counter with flow and bubble detection systems
    Patent number: 10859487
    Abstract: The systems and methods provided herein relate generally to the improvement of data quality in optical liquid particle counters and control of optical particle counters to achieve longer expected lifetime, for example by avoiding damage caused by electromagnetic radiation and heat. The systems and methods incorporate sensors which characterize the fluid flowing through the flow cell, thereby enhancing accuracy and reducing the number of false positives.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020
    Assignee: PARTICLE MEASURING SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Brian Knollenberg, Jim Lumpkin, Brett Haley, Matt Soappman, Dan Rodier, Mark Lilly
