Abstract:
The invention relates to measurement of chemical spillage, such as oil spillage, by the use of one or more IR-lasers, necessary optics and optical sensors. The measurements are performed by reflecting the emitted light from the laser(s) back from the chemical and registered by optical sensors. To accurately detecting the chemical the system utilizes at least three different wavelengths which are emitted from one or more lasers. The wavelengths are chosen so that the reflection from the chemical is different for at least three of these, and that it can be distinguished from the background.
Abstract:
A method is shown for the analysis of hydrocarbon based fuels comprising the following steps: a) the use of a tunable diode laser (TDL) whereby several wavelengths of light can be emitted, b). transmission of said light through a transparent flow cell or flow chamber containing the fuel, c). measurement of the transmitted light with an optical detector positioned on the opposite site of the cell/chamber, d). detection of signals and storage on a computer memory, e). computer-based analysis of measurements, f). use of an algorithm and a chemical reference library for subsequent quantitative analysis of the hydrocarbon compounds.
Abstract:
Method and system for measuring/depicting and determining/ identifying one or more objects of different types of plastics, different types of fabrics or clothing, different types of glass, different types of food/groceries, different types of cardboard/ paper/wooden products and/or different types of metals or similar materials. The method includes considering the reflected, scattered and/or transmitted light from the laser through the material, and determining the type of material from this.
