Sensor discriminators and methods for detecting electrical property changes in a metal organic framework
| DWPI Title: Sensor discriminator for detecting one gaseous substance based on change in one electrical property of metal organic framework, has power source, discrimination module comprises comparator, and sensor simulator comprises one simulation component to simulate metal organic framework under simulation |
| Abstract: A sensor discriminator for detecting a gaseous substance includes a power source, a discrimination module, a sensor simulator that simulates a metal organic framework under at least one simulation condition, a simulation circuitry electrically coupling the sensor simulator to the power source and the discrimination module, and a discriminator circuitry that electrically couples the power source and the discrimination module to a gas capture probe. The discrimination module compares a discrimination pulse and a simulation pulse from the power source after the discrimination pulse passes through a metal organic framework of the gas capture sensor and the simulation pulse passes through a simulation component of the sensor simulator. The discrimination module causes a discriminator output that includes the comparison of the discrimination pulse to the simulation pulse. An electrical property of the discrimination pulse depends on an electrical parameter of the metal organic framework that is augmented by the gaseous substance. |
| Use: Sensor discriminator for detecting one gaseous substance based on a change in one electrical property of a metal organic framework when exposed to the one gaseous substance, |
| Advantage: The sensor discriminator enables to provide an output that includes and/or that is based in portion on one electrical property of the electrical pulses that pass through the gas capture probe. |
| Novelty: Sensor discriminator (200) configured has a power source (210), a discrimination module comprises a comparator, a sensor simulator (220) comprises one simulation component to simulate the metal organic framework (204) under one simulation condition, a simulation circuitry electrically coupling the sensor simulator to the power source and the discrimination module (218), and a discriminator circuitry configured to electrically couple the power source and the discrimination module to the metal organic framework. The comparator of the discrimination module is configured to perform a comparison of a discrimination pulse to a simulation pulse in respect of one electrical property. The discrimination pulse comprises a first electrical pulse from the power source having passed through the metal organic framework. The simulation pulse comprises a second electrical pulse from the power source having passed through one simulation component of the sensor simulator. |
