  • Patent number: 10408850
    Abstract: Various embodiments for a hand-held device to determine a level of one or more cannabinoid compounds in exhaled human breath are provided; some embodiments may also determine a level of alcohol in the exhaled breath. The device may perform any of the following steps: capture, concentrate, separate, identify, and quantify the level of cannabinoids in the exhaled human breath. The device may use solvent extraction and liquid chromatography to concentrate and separate cannabinoids from breath contaminants, followed by selective chemical modification of the cannabinoids with a fluorescent indicator for quantification. The measurement methodology may also include real time calibration of the device and detection protocol using known cannabinoid standards, which are simultaneously analyzed along with an unknown, to quantify the level of cannabinoids captured from the breath sample.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: HOUND LABS, INC.
    Inventors: Michael J. Gordon, Louis Chin Jones, Michael Scott Lynn
  • Patent number: 10247742
    Abstract: Chemical compositions and methods provide labeling, detection and measurement of target substances in exhaled human breath, and can be implemented in connection with a handheld device—much like a Breathalyzer portable breath testing unit for alcohol—to support rapid quantification of levels of cannabinoid compounds, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), of suspected users at the roadside.

  • Publication number: 20150336141
    Abstract: An air rinse method is disclosed that includes translating a container having an orifice past a plurality of nozzles, each of the plurality of the nozzles spaced apart approximately 2-12 inches on center and each of the plurality of nozzles directed in complementary opposition to the orifice and at an orifice entry angle (?E) of 0-40 degrees as the container translates over a respective nozzle, providing an ion air field, and directing pressurized air through the plurality of nozzles and through the ion air field so that pressurized and ionized air is directed through the orifice at the entry angle (?E) and into the container as the container translates over each of the plurality of nozzles.
