Latest Patents

Lapidot is credited with 1 patent: “System and Method for Deconvolution of Real-Time Mass from the Influence of Temperature and Pressure on Crystal Microbalance.” The invention addresses changes in crystal microbalance sensor resonance frequency that can affect measurements of incremental mass. It uses dual-mode resonances and associated coefficients to separate temperature-related frequency shifts from mass-related changes, enabling temperature-compensated incremental mass measurements. One described approach combines a mass mode, such as the c-mode fundamental frequency, with a temperature mode, such as the anharmonic frequency. Another approach uses the b-mode fundamental frequency as the temperature mode for applications more sensitive to temperature changes.
