Nirmalkumar Patel, a University of North Florida physics associate lecturer, received a U.S. Patent for his sensor invention that detects toxic vapors and odors in hazardous gases, industrial toxic gases and other chemical agents. His patent on “Nanocrystalline Indium Tin Oxide Sensors and Associated Method of Use” solves issues with detection of low-level concentration of toxic gas in real time and operating at room temperature, states a news release from the university. Patel and a team of student researchers developed nanocrystalline gas sensors and arrays to detect and measure minute ...

Credit: Nirmal Patel Jacksonville, Fla. - Dr. Nirmalkumar Patel, a University of North Florida physics associate lecturer, was recently awarded a US patent for his sensor invention that will detect toxic vapors and odors in hazardous gases, industrial toxic gases and other chemical agents. His patent on "Nanocrystalline Indium Tin Oxide Sensors and Associated Method of Use" solves two major issues with detection of very low-level concentration of toxic gas in real time and operating at room temperature. Human senses are limited when detecting many odors and gases, including those of hazardou...
