Title: Innovations of Stanley D Sterns

Introduction

Stanley D Sterns is an accomplished inventor based in Houston, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of detection systems, particularly in the analysis of gaseous samples. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that enhances the detection of compounds in various applications.

Latest Patents

Stanley D Sterns holds a patent for an "Improved system for detecting compounds in a gaseous sample." This invention features a pulsed discharge helium photon ionization detector, which consists of an elongate cylindrical body with an axial flow path. A helium source is connected to deliver helium flowing along this path. Within the helium flow path, transversely positioned electrodes form a spark discharged across the path, interacting with the helium to cause photon ionization. A counter flow dopant gas injection tube is strategically positioned downstream to deliver dopant at a reduced flow rate. The interaction of the photon ionization with the dopant creates a base current that can be detected by an electrometer across the terminals. Additionally, a sample injection tube adds an eluted GC column sample, which alters the base current, allowing for the measurement of the eluted sample.
