摘要: Analytical instrument systems, components, and methods for stabilizing discharge formation are described. A spark gap device includes a first planar coil, defining an axis normal to a coil plane and defining a first aperture substantially centered about the axis. The spark gap device includes a second planar coil, offset from the first planar coil along the axis and substantially parallel with the coil plane, the second planar coil defining a second aperture substantially centered about the axis. The spark gap device also includes a conductive element disposed in the first aperture and substantially aligned with the axis.

摘要: Computer-implemented image processing methods with a computer processor and computer memory, comprise accessing, from the computer memory, a non-toroidal beam image component comprising a set of pixel intensities across an imaging area and a toroidal beam image component comprising a set of pixel intensities across the imaging area, scaling, with the computer processor, an image intensity of at least one pixel of one of the non-toroidal or toroidal beam image components by a ratio between a peak non-toroidal beam imaging pixel intensity across the imaging area and a peak toroidal beam imaging intensity across the imaging area to produce a scaled image intensity, and determining a difference between the scaled image intensity of the at least one pixel of the non-toroidal or toroidal image components and an image intensity of at least one pixel of the other of the non-toroidal or toroidal image components to form at least a portion of an image.

摘要: Methods and systems for automatically adjusting a sample position in a spectrometer, such as a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, are described. The sample may be automatically positioned using an auto-focusing procedure. For example, images including an aperture marker are acquired by directing light towards the sample via an aperture. The sample position may be adjusted based on features extracted from the aperture marker images.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to utilizing independently stored validation keys to enable auditing of instrument measurement data maintained in a blockchain. A computing platform may receive, from a first block generator, a first data block comprising first measurement data captured by a first instrument and associated with a sample. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive a first validation key for the first data block calculated from contents of the first data block. Then, the computing platform may store the first data block and the first validation key for the first data block in a blockchain associated with the data management computing platform. Next, the computing platform may send the first validation key for the first data block to a data escrow database system, which may cause the data escrow database system to store the first validation key in a validation keys database.

摘要: A process of analyzing a sample by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) includes providing a sample having a sample surface within a vacuum chamber, performing a Raman spectroscopic analysis on a plurality of selected areas of the sample surface within the vacuum chamber to map an area of the sample surface comprising the selected areas, the Raman spectroscopic analysis including identifying one or more face in one or more of the selected areas of the sample surface, and performing an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of one or more selected areas of the sample surface containing at least one chemical and/or structural feature identified by the Raman spectroscopic analysis, wherein the duration of the XPS analysis of a given selected area of the sample surface is longer than the duration of the Raman spectroscopic analysis of that given selected area.

摘要: The present invention is thus directed to an automated system and method of varying the optical path length in a sample that a light from a spectrophotometer must travel through. Such arrangements allow a user to easily vary the optical path length while also providing the user with an easy way to clean and prepare a transmission cell for optical interrogation. Such path length control can be automatically controlled by a programmable control system to quickly collect and stores data from different path lengths as needed for different spectrographic analysis. Such a methodology and system, as presented herein, is able to return best-match spectra with far fewer computational steps and greater speed than if all possible combinations of reference spectra are considered.
