Patents by Inventor Kimberly L. Colson

Kimberly L. Colson 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: 9448192
    Abstract: A monitoring cell, used to perform a measurement in an NMR spectrometer of a reaction fluid produced by a reaction vessel, has a body having inlet and outlet transport coaxial capillaries for transporting the reaction fluid between the body and the reaction vessel. Cooling lines are also positioned coaxially with the transport capillaries to transport cooling liquid between the body and the reaction vessel. The cell further has a hollow sample probe for insertion into the NMR spectrometer and a coupler section that removably connects the sample probe to the body so that the inlet transport capillary extends through the body into the interior of the sample probe and the outlet transport capillary is sealed to the sample probe to allow reaction fluid that enters the sample probe via the inlet transport capillary to exit the sample probe via the outlet transport capillary.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8248072
    Abstract: An automated screening device that performs standardized system suitability tests and evaluations and measures components of a submitted sample to assist in the quality control screening of raw materials, ingredients, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, polymers, food products, petroleum and many other materials. After determining the performance suitability of an NMR spectrometer, the system permits samples to be submitted for screening. An NMR spectrum of a sample is acquired and a qualitative analysis unit identifies at least one reference NMR spectrum corresponding a compound present in the sample and a quantitative analysis unit integrates relative signal intensity signals of the sample spectrum in regions of peak intensity in the one reference NMR spectrum and compares integration results to a number of atoms in each region in order to confirm identification of the compound.
