Patents by Inventor Shu-Liang LIAW

Shu-Liang LIAW 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: 9157849
    Abstract: Measuring device of the present invention includes a plurality of measuring sites for generating a plurality of optical paths and various dilutions. The range for concentration measurement and the measurement accuracy are enhanced due to the plurality of optical path length, and the interference on the measurement ranges and results caused by the concentration or the turbidity of suspended solid is reduced and removed by water sample dilution, and thus the characteristic wavelengths of the components in the water are measured. Next, the information of spectrum database is used to determine the ingredients which may exist in the water (qualitative analysis), and UV-VIS-NIR absorbance spectrum analysis is used to obtain the concentration of the respective ingredients in the water at the same time (quantitative analysis).

  • Publication number: 20120329168
    Abstract: A drug detection apparatus for identifying whether a gas sample contains an acidic gas includes a reactor having a gas inlet, a detection reagent containing an oxidant and a reductant, and a catalyst triggering a chemical adsorption with the oxidant and the reductant. A drug detection method applied to a drug detection apparatus is also disclosed. The drug detection apparatus and method can detect the acidic gases from drugs immediately, sensitively and selectively, thereby improving the efficiency of suspect inspection of drug smuggling in airports.
