Method to Detect Diesel in Fluid Samples - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828912 titled 'Method to Detect Diesel in Fluid Samples
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for analyzing a fluid sample using a cuvette that dissolves in the presence of a specific substance.
- The cuvette contains the fluid sample and light is emitted through it for a certain duration of time.
- The cuvette is made of a material that partially dissolves when exposed to the substance in the sample.
- As the cuvette dissolves, the intensity of light passing through it and the sample changes at a certain rate.
- A light detector receives the light that passed through the cuvette and measures the change in intensity over time.
- If the rate of change in intensity exceeds a predetermined threshold, it indicates the presence of the substance in the sample.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes providing a cuvette containing a fluid sample having a first substance and emitting light from a light source through the cuvette containing the fluid sample for a duration of time. The cuvette is made of a material that at least partially dissolves in the presence of the first substance. Over the duration of time, the cuvette at least partially dissolves and an intensity of light that passes through the cuvette and the fluid sample changes at a rate. The method also includes receiving, by a light detector, the light that passed through the cuvette, measuring a change in intensity of the received light over the duration of time, and determining that the rate of change in intensity of the light over the duration of time is greater than a threshold rate of change.
