Title: Innovations of Brian H King
Introduction
Brian H King is an accomplished inventor based in Arlington, VA. He has made significant contributions to the field of sensing technologies, particularly in the analysis of vapor analytes. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the capabilities of remote sensing and analyte identification.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on temperature response sensing and classification of analytes with porous optical films. This invention outlines methods and systems that can determine the identity and quantity of analytes in vapor. The process involves exposing a porous optical film to vapor containing the analyte, heating the film, and monitoring its optical response during this heating. The optical response can then be compared to a database of sensor responses characteristic of various analytes. This method operates at relatively low temperatures, typically below about 200°C, and utilizes a hysteresis curve in the optical response to indicate the presence of analytes.
Another notable patent involves optical fiber-mounted porous photonic crystals and sensors. This invention describes a remote sensor with an optical fiber that terminates in a tip. A thin film porous particle, which has a characteristic optical response that changes in the presence of an analyte, is attached to the tip. The optical response of this particle changes when exposed to analytes, allowing for concentration and detection. The method of remote sensing involves probing the thin film porous particle with a beam of light and monitoring the reflected light for shifts in frequency or intensity.
