    摘要: Described herein are systems and methods for improving performance of single-frequency (single-point, single-bin) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) detectors by elimination of systematic errors from the detector output. Calibration procedures known in the art for practical implementations of such detectors do not provide adequate reduction of these systematic errors thus reducing utilization of these detectors in useful applications and products. The described methods, systems and devices allow such detectors to measure both DC and AC signals and, in latter case, considerably expand the operation frequency range without any additional hardware. These methods enable wide practical applications of DFT detectors across diverse variety of fields: from monitoring health of mechanical structures and fluid properties to impedimetric measurements in electrochemistry, monitoring of corrosion and bioimpedance.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and methods for determining the location, composition and concentration of a hydrocarbon containing plume in environmental seawater. These systems and methods disclosed use multiple complex admittance measurements from seawater in order to identify the contents, concentration, and location of the hydrocarbon containing plume. In preferred variations system includes a sensor array that substantially simultaneously records plume location, depth, and composition.

    摘要: An improved method of packaging a sensor is provided. The method includes the step of affixing a tuning fork to a platform. The tuning fork includes tines comprising one or more surfaces, with each tine further comprising an electrode and a piezoelectric material. An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is affixed to the platform. Electrical communication between the ASIC and the electrode of each tine is established for providing stimulus to the tuning fork and for receiving a response signal from the tuning fork. A protective layer is applied to cover the platform and a portion of the tuning fork while maintaining a portion of a surface of each tine free from the protective layer such that the surface can displace the fluid in contact therewith.
