A transmission cell apparatus for in-process spectroscopy comprising symmetric compound parabolic light concentrators (,) terminating optical transmission fibers (,) and abutting windows (,) defining the sample cell.

Fiber optic coupled transmission cell for in-process spectrographic analysis

A non-contact spectroscopy system includes scanning head structure with transmitting optics for focusing radiation onto the surface of material to be analyzed, and receiving optics for collecting radiation reflected from the surface of the material and directing the reflected radiation onto optic fiber structure for transmission to spectroscopic analyzer structure.

Non-contact spectroscopy system and process

A radiation transmission optical fiber having a core and cladding for spectroscopic monitoring includes a transmission portion and a sensor portion; the transmission portion has a continuous core portion and a continuous cladding over the core portion; the sensor portion has the cladding removed from one side of the fiber and the core portion exposed from the same side leaving the continuous cladding intact over the opposite side of the core portion of the sensor.

Attenuated total reflectance sensing

Compositions based on polypyrrole are described having incorporated therein a polymer component having one or more segments wherein at least one segment is elastomeric. The polymer component is present in an amount of at least about 10 weight percent of the polypyrrole present. The compositions exhibit improved processing properties over those of polypyrrole. Also described is a process for producing the compositions in which a pyrrole compound is electrochemically polymerized in the presence of an at least partially dissolved polymer component having one or more segments wherein at least one segment is elastomeric.

Multicomponent systems based on polypyrrole

An electrically and covalently coupled cofactor modified electrode for mediating the heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysis of a biochemical reaction by an enzyme. The electrode coating comprises an imidazoleflavin derivative covalently bonded to the electrode surface. Methods for preparation and use of the modified electrode are also presented.

Covalently coupled cofactor modified electrodes and methods of synthesis

Compositions based on polythiophene are described having incorporated therein a polyether, such as polytetrahydrofuran. The polyether is present in an amount of at least about 10 weight percent of the polythiophene present. The compositions exhibit improved mechanical integrity, processing properties, and d.c. electrical conductivity over polythiophene. A process for producing the compositions is also described in which a thiophene compound is electrochemically polymerized in the presence of a dissolved polyether.
