Title: Innovations by Colin T. Elliott
Introduction
Colin T. Elliott is a notable inventor based in San Francisco, CA, with a focus on advancements in measurement technologies. He holds a total of 4 patents that contribute to the fields of combustion efficiency and environmental monitoring.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method of and apparatus for in-situ measurement of soot by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry." This invention involves an instrument and method that utilize electron spin resonance spectrometry to measure the concentration of airborne soot particles. The process includes continuously passing a sample of exhaust gas through a resonating RF microwave cavity resonator while applying a uniform, slowly varying magnetic field that is rapidly modulated. The resulting phase or amplitude modulation is measured to derive an electron spin resonance signal, which directly senses the concentration of carbon free radicals produced during inefficient combustion. This invention also allows for feedback control of engine or boiler parameters to minimize particulate matter emissions.
Another significant invention by Elliott is the "Device and method for adjusting dosage of fuel additive based on in-situ measurement of additive and containment concentration." This device features a fuel reservoir and an additive reservoir, utilizing a variable-flow pump to mix the fuel and additive. An ESR sensor measures the concentration of contaminants and fuel additives in the combined fluid, allowing a controller to adjust the dosage of the fuel additive based on real-time measurements.
