    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light source reflector.SOLUTION: The light source reflector includes a structure having three or more internal reflective surfaces defining a first light entry aperture and a second light exit aperture having an area that is greater than the area of the entry aperture. A single light source, or a plurality of uniformly distributed light sources, such as one or more LEDs, located proximal the entry aperture provides illumination, which impinges on the reflective surfaces from the entry aperture and is reflected off the surfaces to provide a substantially uniform illumination pattern exiting the exit aperture. The reflector advantageously allows for the use of a source (e.g., LED(s)) that is smaller than the targeted area of illumination and also avoids creating hot-spots as the reflector does not focus the light, but rather reflects mirror images of the source off of the reflective surfaces.

    Abstract: GAS ANALYZER Gas analyzer systems and methods for measuring concentrations of gasses and in particular dry mole fraction of components of a gas. The systems and method allow for rapid measurement of the gas density and/or dry mole fraction of gases for a number of environmental monitoring applications, including high speed flux measurements. A novel coupling design allows for tool-free removal of a cell enclosing a flow path to enable in field cleaning of optical components.

    Abstract: Multi-functional piezo-actuated flow control systems and methods for use in gas exchange analysis systems such as photosynthesis measurement systems. A fluid valve assembly module includes a housing structure including a plurality of ports and a plurality of fluid passageways interconnecting the ports, and a plurality of piezo-actuated valves in fluid communication with the fluid passageways, each valve including a piezo element that controls flow along a passageway, wherein the passageways and valves are arranged within the housing structure so as to define a fluid control module, which includes a flow swapping component, a flow splitting component and a flow pressurization component. The flow swapping component has first and second inlets and first and second output ports and is configured to receive a first fluid flow at the first inlet and a second fluid flow at the second inlet and in a first operational mode to direct the first fluid flow to the first output port and the second fluid flow to the second output port, and in a second operational mode to direct the first fluid flow to the second output port and the second fluid flow to the first output port. The flow splitting component has an input port, a third output port and a first outlet and is configured to receive an input fluid flow at the input port and to control an amount of the input fluid flow provided to the third output port and to the first outlet in a continuously adjustable manner, wherein the first outlet is fluidly connected to the first inlet of the flow swapping component and the third output port is adapted to be fluidly coupled with an external reservoir. The flow pressurization component has an entry port in fluid communication with a second outlet and is configured to receive a third fluid flow at the entry port and to control the pressure of the third fluid flow at the second outlet, wherein the second outlet is fluidly connected to the second inlet of the flow swapping component and the entry port is adapted to be fluidly coupled with the external reservoir.

    Abstract: A multi-pass optical cell with an actuator for actuating a reflective surface is provided. In one preferred embodiment, an apparatus is provided comprising a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, and a support structure supporting the first and second reflective surfaces. The support structure positions the first and second reflective surfaces to create an optical cell. The apparatus also comprises a source and a detector, which are positioned such that light emitted from the source is reflected in the optical cell at least one time between the first and second reflective surfaces before reaching the detector. The apparatus further comprises an actuator coupled with and operative to actuate the first reflective surface. In some embodiments, the actuator rotates the first reflective surface. Also, in some embodiments, the multi-pass optical cell is an open path multi-pass optical cell, while, in other embodiments, the multi-pass optical cell is a closed path multi-pass optical cell.

    Abstract: To measure stomatal resistance of a leaf, signals are obtained from: (1) a small thermocouple positioned adjacent to the leaf in a cuvette to measure temperature of the leaf without conducting excessive heat; (2) a thermistor in the cuvette chamber; and (3) a moisture sensor in the chamber. The moisture signal automatically controls a magnetically operated bypass valve from a source of air flowing through the cuvette chamber so that the moisture remains constant while the flow rate of the air is varied. The flow rate is measured in a flow meter having two laminar paths in series, composed of equal-length equal-diameter tubes but differing in the number of tubes, with the flow rate being measured in a different one of two tubes in each path for different scale measurements.
