Abstract:
Sensor structure (16) is provided for online monitoring of levels of Furans in oil of a transformer tank. The sensor structure includes a UV light source (26), a filter (30) permitting only UV light of a certain wavelength range to pass, a window (32) permitting the filtered UV light to passes there-through, and a UV light detector (36) to receive UV light that passes through the window. When the sensor structure is mounted to the transformer tank that is online so that the window is exposed to oil, and Furans in the oil are being monitored, the Furans will absorb UV light, creating a difference in UV light received by the light detector when compared to the UV light received by the light de¬ tector when the monitored oil has no Furans therein. The output signal of the light detector is substantially proportional to a total of Furans in the monitored oil.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a facility for chemically analyzing a bath (20) heated to high temperature, provided with a LIBS laser-plasma spectroscopy analysis head, comprising a high-energy pulsed laser (2) capable of remotely emitting a light beam focused into a region of the bath (20) having a chemical composition to be determined, in order to create a plasma locally, and comprising a spectrometer (13) for spectral analysis of the light emitted by said plasma, characterized in that the laser (2) is offset laterally thanks to a tube (3), which extends it and terminates in a lens for focusing the laser beam (4), and thanks to a first optical fibre (5), a first end (5A) of which is located at said focusing lens (4).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to solving the problems associated with the detection of surface defects on metal bars as well as the problems associated with applying metal flat inspection systems to metal bars for non-destructive surface defects detection. A specially designed imaging system, which is comprised of a computing unit, line lights and high data rate line scan cameras, is developed for the aforementioned purpose. The target application is the metal bars (1) that have a circumference/cross-section-area ratio equal to or smaller than 4.25 when the cross section area is unity for the given shape, (2) whose cross-sections are round, oval, or in the shape of a polygon, and (3) are manufactured by mechanically cross-section reduction processes. The said metal can be steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, titanium, nickel, and so forth, and/or their alloys. The said metal bars can be at the temperature when they are being manufactured. A removable cassette includes various mirrors. A protection tube isolates the moving metal bar from the line light assembly and image acquisition camera. assembly and image acquisition camera. A contaminant reduction mechanism applies a vacuum to remove airborne contaminants.
Abstract:
A gas composition monitoring arrangement for a module (2) used in a solid oxide fuel cell comprises provision of an optically transparent window (4) in the end of a gas flow channel (3) formed in that module (2). Thus, the window (4) allows passive and active optical gas analysis of the gas flow through the channel in situ without the necessity as with previous systems of drawing a proportion of that gas flow away from the module (2) and therefore fuel cell for appropriate analysis. In such circumstances, actual in situ gas composition determination is achieved rather than a determination which may be distorted through the transfer regime to a previous remote gas analysis apparatus.
Abstract:
An in vivo implantable sensor (10) obtains spectra of body fluid constituents, and processes the spectra to determine the concentration of a constituent of the body fluid. The sensor includes an optical source (12), and detector (16). The source emits light at a plurality of different, discrete wavelengths, including at least one wavelength in the infrared region. The light interacts with the body fluid and is received at the detector. The light at the plurality of different wavelengths has a substantially collinear optical path through the fluid with respect to each other. When measuring fluid constituents in a blood vessel (14), such as blood glucose, the light at the plurality of different wavelengths is emitted in a substantially single period of time. The spectra are corrected for artefacts introduced from extraneous tissue in the optical path between the source (12) and the detector (16).
