SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PARTICLES MEASUREMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027326 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PARTICLES MEASUREMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an optical system for analyzing particle size and concentration. Here are the key points:

  • The system includes a laser that produces an illuminating beam.
  • A focusing lens is used to focus the illuminating beam on particles that move relative to the beam at known angles.
  • The focusing lens is a cylindrical lens that forms a narrow focal region in the direction of particle motion and a wide region perpendicular to the optical axis.
  • At least two forward-looking detectors are used to detect interactions of particles with the illuminating beam in the focal region.
  • Each detector is comprised of two segmented linear arrays of detectors.

Potential Applications:

  • Particle size and concentration analysis in various fields such as environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
  • Quality control in manufacturing processes that involve particles, such as in the production of powders or suspensions.
  • Research and development in fields where particle analysis is important, such as nanotechnology or biotechnology.

Problems Solved:

  • Accurate and efficient analysis of particle size and concentration.
  • Ability to analyze particles that move relative to the illuminating beam at known angles.
  • Improved detection of particle interactions with the illuminating beam.

Benefits:

  • Precise and reliable measurement of particle size and concentration.
  • Increased efficiency in particle analysis.
  • Versatile system that can be applied to various industries and research fields.


Original Abstract Submitted

an optical system for particle size and concentration analysis, includes: at least one laser that produces an illuminating beam; a focusing lens that focuses the illuminating beam on particles that move relative to the illuminating beam at known or pre-defined angles to the illuminating beam through the focal region of the focusing lens; and at least two forward-looking detectors, that detect interactions of particles with the illuminating beam in the focal region of the focusing lens. the focusing lens is a cylindrical lens that forms a focal region that is: (i) narrow in the direction of relative motion between the particles and the illuminating beam, and (ii) wide in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by an optical axis of the system and the direction of relative motion between the particles and the illuminating beam. each of the two forward-looking detectors is comprised of two segmented linear arrays of detectors.
