Preben STORÅS 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: 11761889
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas measuring system for measuring the presence of a predetermined gas including a light source and a light receiver separated by a gas volume, the light source emitting light within a chosen range of wavelengths including characteristic absorption wavelengths of the gas to be measured and the light receiver being capable of detecting light in said wavelength range and the system including a spectrum analyzer and a storage means for storing the specific absorption wavelengths of the gas thus to recognize a gas absorbing at said specific wavelengths. The storage means also includes specific absorption wavelengths characterizing at least one other material having absorption wavelengths partially overlapping the absorption wavelengths of said gas, and thus detect the material in the volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023

  • Patent number: 10495620
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas detector cell unit comprising a gas cell, the unit comprising an outer housing providing access to the gas outside through a protecting filter adapted to making gas cell safe for use in explosive environments, i.e. a sintered filter, and the unit comprising means for detecting reduction in the circulation through said protecting filter.

  • Patent number: 10416139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas detector cell and cell unit for optical detection of a predetermined gas, the cell being provided with optical means for investigating a gas sample present in the cell. The cell is constituted by a volume enclosed in a container, at least part of the container wall being constituted by a membrane, the membrane being provided with openings allowing diffusion of gas therethrough, and the membrane openings being provided with a catalyst for converting the gas diffusing therethrough to said predetermined gas.
