  • Methods and apparatus for ultra-sensitive temperature detection using resonant devices
    Patent number: 10184845
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems to improve thermal sensitivity of resonant circuits. One aspect utilizes tracking near-resonance complex impedance for a quartz resonator based calorimeter sensor to derive ultra-sensitive temperature measurement from the sensor. Another aspect includes a quartz resonant or -based calorimetric sensor placed close to but not touching the analyte being measured to eliminate mass loading effect on the temperature measurement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2019
    Assignee: The Penn State Research Foundation
    Inventors: Srinivas A. Tadigadapa, Marcelo B. Pisani
