Photoacoustic Soot Measurement System for Cleaner Engines

NIST Inventors
Amy Mensch , Ryan Falkenstein-Smith and Thomas Cleary
This invention introduces a photoacoustic measurement system that detects soot deposition in engines. It works by irradiating soot deposits with pulsed electromagnetic radiation, causing rapid expansion that generates an acoustic pressure wave. The system then senses the pressure wave using an

Non-contact Measuring Tool for Precision Measurement

NIST Inventors
Josh Gordon
This invention introduces a non-contact measuring tool designed for precise measurement of objects without physically touching them. It uses advanced optical and sensor technologies to capture accurate data on an object's dimensions and surface characteristics. The tool enhances measurement

Next-Gen Laser Radar (LIDAR) for High-Accuracy Applications

NIST Inventors
Ian Coddington and William C. Swann
This invention is a new kind of laser radar (LIDAR) that uses two special lasers called femtosecond fiber lasers. One laser sends out a signal, and the other helps detect the signal that bounces back from a target. It combines two types of measurements—time-of-flight and interferometry—to measure

A Safer and More Efficient Way to Store Hydrogen for Clean Energy

NIST Inventors
Taner Yildirim and Craig Brown
This invention introduces a hydrogen fuel storage system that uses metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to efficiently store molecular hydrogen. The MOFs are designed with a porous re-centered oxygen-type aluminum formate structure, allowing for high-density hydrogen storage. The system improves storage
