A Super Accurate Temperature Sensor That Works Without Electricity

NIST Inventors
Nikolai Klimov , Tobias Herman and Zeeshan Ahmed
This invention introduces a photonic thermometer that uses optical fibers to measure temperature. The thermometer is designed with a sheath and module assembly to enhance accuracy and durability. It leverages photonic technology to provide precise temperature readings without relying on traditional

Smart Temperature Sensor That Works Without Touch

NIST Inventors
Howard W. Yoon
This invention introduces a temperature detector that stabilizes radiation measurements using an isothermal reference. It ensures high accuracy by self-referencing ambient radiation, reducing errors caused by environmental fluctuations. The detector is designed to work without direct contact, making

A Smarter Way to Separate and Analyze Substances

NIST Inventors
Wyatt N. Vreeland
This invention introduces a method and device for affinity gradient focusing, which directs analytes in a solution containing a pseudo-stationary phase within a channel, such as a capillary or microchannel. It establishes a steady-state spatial gradient in the retention factor of the pseudo
