ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,754,329, issued on Oct. 6, was assigned to Evident Scientific Inc..

"XRF analyzer with improved resolution by using micro-reset" was invented by Marc Battyani (Arlington, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed is an electronic system for resetting the voltage of a charge-sensitive pre-amplifier having input from an X-ray detector and output to an ADC. The pre-amplifier gain is increased so that the RMS ADC noise is less than 1% of a representative digitized X-ray signal. The reset logic is configured to avoid loss of X-ray counts and to prevent the pre-amplifier output being outside the allowable input range of the ADC. Reset is i...
