ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,723,997, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to GE Infrastructure Technology LLC (Greenville, S.C.).

"Systems and methods for sensing of gases using a configurable dynamic range of a sensor" was invented by Radislav Alexandrovich Potyrailo (Niskayuna, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The techniques described herein provide sensing systems and methods that provide configurable sensitivity and extended dynamic range of gas measurements. The systems and methods apply dielectric excitation at two or more excitation frequencies to a sensing material via sensing electrodes. A linearity of the electrical signal is changed by changing the operati...
