Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Technologies are generally described for an air monitoring device, a method for forming an air monitoring device, and methods and systems for monitoring air using an air monitoring device. A method of forming an air monitor device may include placing a sorbent membrane on a material of n type conductivity. The method may further include placing an electrode on the membrane and placing a thermoelectric heater in thermal communication with the membrane. The method may further include placing the membrane, material, and electrode in a sealed container including a valve to form the air monitor device. The valve may be effective to selectively expose the membrane to an environment outside of the container.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an air monitor device, the method comprising: placing a sorbent polymer membrane on a material of n type conductivity; placing an electrode on the membrane; placing a thermoelectric heater in thermal communication with the membrane; and placing the membrane, material, and electrode in a sealed container including a valve to form the air monitor device, the valve effective to selectively expose the membrane to an environment outside…
