  • Systems and methods for sensing compounds in an environment
    Patent number: 10551338
    Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for sensing analytes with a high selectivity and low responses to interferences in an environment. In one embodiment, a sensor was developed which comprises a sensor electrode, a coupling element operationally coupled to a discrete segment of the sensor electrode, and an activation material in operational contact with the coupling element and configured to induce an irreversible sensor response for a selected sensing application.
    Type: Grant

  • Materials and sensors for detecting gaseous agents
    Patent number: 9678030
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting gaseous agents has a transducer, which includes an electrical resonant circuit that forms an antenna. The sensor further includes a sensing material that is disposed on at least a portion of the transducer. The sensing material is configured to simultaneously exhibit a capacitance response and a resistance response in the presence of a gaseous agent. The sensor may be reversible, battery free, and may require no electrical contact with a sensor reader.

  • Method for Monitoring Cooking in an Oven Appliance
    Publication number: 20170130968
    Abstract: A method for monitoring cooking in an oven appliance includes drawing cooking vapors or gases from a cooking chamber to a fluid analysis assembly and exposing a plurality of fluid sensors of the fluid analysis assembly to the cooking vapors or gases. The method also includes establishing a response pattern of the plurality of fluid sensors with a machine or statistical learning model(s) and determining a cooking status of the food item within the cooking chamber based upon the response pattern of the plurality of fluid sensors.

  • Sensors for gas dosimetry
    Patent number: 9494541
    Abstract: Methods and sensors for selective fluid sensing are provided. A gas dosimeter includes a housing configured with an opening to admit an analyte. The gas dosimeter also includes a multivariate sensor disposed in the housing. The sensor is configured to determine a concentration of the analyte over time. In addition, the multivariate sensor includes an irreversible sensing material. Electrical properties of the irreversible sensing material are configured to change irreversibly upon exposure to the analyte.
