    • A portable instrument for use in the field in detecting, identifying, and quantifying a component of a sampled fluid includes a sensor which chemically reacts with the component of interest or a derivative thereof, an electrical heating filament for heating the sample before it is applied to the sensor, and modulator for continuously varying the temperature of the filament (and hence the reaction rate) between two values sufficient to produce the chemical reaction. In response to this thermal modulation, the sensor produces a modulated output signal, the modulation of which is a function of the activation energy of the chemical reaction, which activation energy is specific to the particular component of interest and its concentration. Microprocessor which compares the modulated output signal with standard responses for a plurality of components to identify and quantify the particular component of interest. In particular, the concentration of the component of interest is proportional to the amplitude of the modulated output signal, while the identifying activation output energy of the chemical interaction indicative of that component is proportional to a normalized parameter equal to the peak-to-peak amplitude divided by the height of the upper peaks above a base line signal level.

    • Apparatus for the detection of a vapor of a selected chemical substance includes a sensor whose impedance changes upon exposure to such a vapor. The sensor comprises a polymer whose physical structure is altered by the vapor, e.g., through expansion or disintegration, and electrically conductive elements that are interspersed with or separated by the polymer. The interspersed elements may consist of a fine powder of carbon or of a metal in a matrix of silicone or other vapor-sensitive polymer. The electrical contacts between the powder particles are weakened when the polymer swells or disintegrates, which results in increased resistance. Alternatively, the capacitance between two conductive layers separated by a polymer layer decreases, and hence the impedance increases, when the polymer swells upon exposure to the vapor. In yet another embodiment, the polymer exerts a stress on a piezoresistive element and the stress is increased when the polymer swells, which causes a further increase in resistance. The changes are measured by an impedance-measuring circuit, such as a Wheatstone bridge.
    • 用于检测所选化学物质的蒸汽的装置包括一种传感器,其在暴露于这种蒸气时其阻抗发生变化。 传感器包括其物理结构被蒸气改变的聚合物,例如通过膨胀或分解,以及与聚合物分散或分离的导电元件。 散在的元素可以由硅或者其它气敏聚合物的基质中的碳或金属的细粉末组成。 当聚合物溶胀或分解时,粉末颗粒之间的电接触被削弱,这导致增加的电阻。 或者,当聚合物在暴露于蒸气时膨胀时,由聚合物层分离的两个导电层之间的电容降低,并且因此阻抗增加。 在另一个实施方案中,聚合物在压阻元件上施加应力,并且当聚合物膨胀时应力增加,这导致电阻的进一步增加。 这些变化由诸如惠斯通电桥之类的阻抗测量电路来测量。

    • A relatively inexpensive modular component that can be substituted for, or used in conjunction with, an existing smoke detector in a commercially available residential fire-detection alarm comprises: (A) an amperometric sensor for carbon monoxide, in which the reference and counter electrodes are combined either internally into a single auxiliary electrode or externally by electrical shorting; and (b) a simple current-to-voltage converter circuit that converts the current signals from the sensing electrode into amplified voltage signals. The converter circuit is powered by the same battery (usually a 9-volt dry cell) and is connected to the same alarm-triggering circuit that are used in existing residential fire alarms. The sensor-and-converter module is designed to fit into a commercially available smoke-detector-type fire alarm unit. The electrical output of the module is designed to be compatible with the electrical input requirements of the commercial detection circuitry. An alarm fitted with this module provides early warning of hazardous conditions, such as a smoldering fire, a leaky furnace, or an otherwise heavily polluted atmosphere.

    • A potentiostat for an amperometric sensor uses a voltage-controlled current source (VCCS), which may be either unidirectional or, preferably, bidirectional. An error amplifier compares the potential of the sensor's reference or counter electrode, relative to ground potential, to a set-point potential. The error voltage serves as an input to the VCCS. The output of the VCCS--a current proportional to the error voltage--is supplied to the sensor's auxiliary electrode. In a steady state, the error voltage is just large enough to supply current that is equal to the current through the sensor's working and auxiliary (or counter) electrodes. The error voltage can either serve directly as an output voltage or it can be amplified without introducing a feed-back loop disturbance. The VCCS permits direct grounding of the sensor's working electrode and operation of the error amplifier at a low or moderate gain, so as to increase the circuit's frequency response and reduce the probability of oscillation. Also, in conjunction with an adjustable low-pass filter, the VCCS permits optimization of the system's frequency response so as to yield improved stability.
    • 用于电流传感器的恒电位仪使用压控电流源(VCCS),其可以是单向的,或者优选地是双向的。 误差放大器将传感器参考电极或对电极相对于地电位的电位与设定点电位进行比较。 误差电压用作VCCS的输入。 输出与误差电压成比例的VCCS-a电流输入到传感器的辅助电极。 在稳定状态下,误差电压足够大以提供等于通过传感器工作电极和辅助(或反向)电极的电流的电流。 误差电压可以直接作为输出电压,也可以在不引入反馈回路干扰的情况下进行放大。 VCCS允许传感器的工作电极直接接地和误差放大器的操作在低或中等增益,以增加电路的频率响应并降低振荡的概率。 此外,结合可调低通滤波器,VCCS可以优化系统的频率响应,从而提高稳定性。
