Ratiometric optical oxygen sensor based on phosphorescence quenching

Molecular oxygen plays a pivotal role in various biological, chemical and environmental reactions, thus detection of oxygen has attracted much attention. Traditional methods of sensing oxygen including classical Winkler titration, electroanalysis, chemiluminescence and thermoluminescence suffer from limitations such as relatively long response time, oxygen consumption during the sensing process and poor selectivity.

The ground state of oxygen is a triplet state, so oxygen can quench the long-lived triplet phosphorescence of luminophores. Optical oxygen sensors to detect oxygen through phosphorescence have become a very active research field because of their good sensitivity and selectivity, full reversibility, simplicity, suitability for real-time measurements and minimal consumption of oxygen during measurements. Common detection modalities in optical oxygen sensing include phosphorescence intensity, ratiometric and lifetime measurements.

Ratiometric intensity measurements at two different wavelengths allow more reliable detection than at a single wavelength because oxygen responses depend on the ratio of the oxygen sensor and reference luminescent signals. In addition, most ratiometric optical oxygen sensors exhibit a perceivable color change, which is useful for rapid visual sensing. This review focuses on the mechanism of oxygen sensing, material designs for ratiometric sensors and cell imaging. The future development of oxygen sensors is also discussed.


A room-temperature SAW methane sensor with Cryptophane-A film

Methane is an important but dangerous industrial gas. Compared with existing methane gas sensors, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor exhibits many unique advantages like smaller size, fast response and room temperature operation. Thanks to the good affinity to methane molecules, the Cryptophane-A (CrypA) was chosen as the sensitive interface coated onto the SAW device surface for methane sensing operating at room temperature.

Moreover, a 300MHz two-port SAW resonator with low insertion loss (~3dB) and high quality factor (~2500) were developed, and acted as the feedback element of a differential oscillation structure. To improve the methane sensor performance, the CrypA coating method was optimized, that is, an gas experiment was conducted, in which, CrypA was deposited on the sensing SAW resonators via drop-coating and spin-coating, respectively.

The experimental results indicated that drop-coating method achieved much larger response (~1 kHz) over the spin-coating (~200Hz) because of the larger roughness. Satisfactory sensitivity and detection limit were observed in the gas experiments.

Galaxy Note 4 to Feature a New Ultraviolet Sensor(UV Sensor) for Special Tasks

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 could feature a new ultraviolet sensor (UV sensor) that will be used to determine the UV index.
The component will be able to inform the smartphone user of when it reaches harmful levels and will make recommendations based off of it. This includes telling them to put sun screen on.
The functionality will be integrated into the S Health app, however, the readings will only come when the user holds the device at "over 60 degree angle of elevation towards the sun against the back of the sensor."
There is no word on where the sensor will be located on the Note 4 at this time.
The Note 4 might also feature a retina scanner when it launches, according to a recent post by Samsung. The company put up a teaser of a phablet like device which could be the Note 4 on its ExynosTwitter account last week and hints at it coming with some kind of Eye scanner.
"Security can be improved using features unique to us," wrote the company. "That's what we envision. What would you use?"
The tag line listed in the top of the teaser reads "Unlock the Future." This points to the scanner being the main tool used to unlock the phone. Samsung also has a track record with adding new features to its devices related to the eye as it released the Smart Screen scrolling and pausing on the Galaxy S4 last year.
The Galaxy Note 4 is expected to launch sometime in the fall of this year. It will join the Galaxy S5 for Samsung's 2014 line-up and will compete with Apple's rumored larger iPhone model.

Barograph uses the new iPhone pressure sensor

The new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus each have a pressure sensor that gives readings for barometric pressure. Barograph (free), displays real-time pressure data from that sensor. Weather watchers will know dropping pressure usually means bad weather is coming, rising pressure means good weather.

The app's main interface is a graph that looks for very small changes. Initially it might seem uneven, but you can usually spot a trend pretty easily. The app charts the pressure and your relative altitude.

If you leave the app or lock your phone, the readings stop after 30 seconds so the app is not a battery drain. Pressure readings are in kiloPascals, not a measurement consumers typically use when reading barometers, but what you are looking for is trends. It would be nice if the app gave you the ability to see the data in U.S. non-metric readings.

You can share your barometric readings via Facebook, Twitter and email, if that suits your fancy. You can also save the graph to your image library.

Developer Jackson Myers told me the app is a first try, and it will get more sophisticated, but it does provide an interesting look into some of the new data the iPhone sensors are offering.

The app of course requires iOS 8 or greater, and must run on an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.
