Patent number: 11674921Abstract: An online calibration system for an electrochemical sensor. The calibration system comprises a calibration electrode coupled with a redox species, where the redox species is configured to control a pH of a reference solution local to the calibration electrode, such that when a voltammetric signal is applied to the calibration electrode the output generated from the calibration system is determined by the local environment pH. The output signal from the calibration system is used to calibrate a reference potential generated by a reference system of the electrochemical sensor to correct for drift in the reference potential when the electrochemical sensor is being used. The calibration electrode may be disposed in a reference cell of the electrochemical sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: ANB Sensors LtdInventors: Steven A.

Patent number: 11397161Abstract: A calibration electrode for calibrating a reference system of an electrochemical sensor, such as a potentiometric sensor or an ion selective electrode. The calibration electrode has an active surface comprising redox functionalities. The redox functionalities set the pH of a reference solution proximal to the calibration electrode. A voltammetric signal is applied to the calibration electrode to produce a response that is determined by the set pH. The response of the calibration electrode to the voltammetric signal is used to calibrate/adjust a reference potential produced by a reference electrode of the reference system of the electrochemical sensor. This calibration corrects the detrimental effect of reference electrode drift.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: ANB Sensors LimitedInventors: Steven A.

Patent number: 11333625Abstract: A process for determining a content of hydrogen in a fluid medium includes contacting the fluid medium with a sensor. The sensor has a housing enclosing a chamber containing an ionic liquid electrolyte, a window which is permeable to hydrogen and positioned in an opening in the housing, and electrodes in contact with the ionic liquid electrolyte in the chamber. Hydrogen is allowed to pass through the window from the fluid medium into the electrolyte and the sensor is heated. Temperature and pressure of the fluid medium is determined and electrical potential is applied to the electrodes. The method also includes measuring current flow. The sensor can be used to observe hydrogen concentration by voltammetry. The method and sensor may be used for measuring downhole hydrogen content, monitoring fiber-optic cables for damage by hydrogen, corrosion monitoring, and in small-scale process plants where hydrogen is part of a gas stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Timothy Jones, Debbie S.

Patent number: 11307562Abstract: A method and system for reinforcement learning can involve applying a finite-difference approach to a controller, and tuning the controller in response to applying the finite-difference approach by taking a state as an entirety of a closed-loop step response. The disclosed finite-different approach is based on a random search to tuning the controller, which operates on the entire closed-loop step-response of the system and iteratively improves the gains towards a desired closed-loop response. This allows for prescribing stability requirement into the reward function without any modeling procedures.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Nathan Lawrence, Philip D.
