摘要:
The invention concerns a method whereby a product in condensed state, for example a solid in powder form circulates continuously in the longitudinal direction (6) of the kiln (4, 5). Said method consists in contacting with the product in condensed state a reactive gas mixture; drawing a plurality of samples of the gas mixture in several reference points (14) spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal direction (6) of the kiln (4, 5); analysing each of the gas samples outside the kiln to determine the composition of the gas mixture and deducing from the composition of the gas mixture in each of the reference points (14), the degree of progress in said point (14) of a chemical reaction between the product in condensed state and the reactive gas mixture. The device comprises in particular a sampling and injecting rod (10) inserted in the kiln (4, 5) and arranged along its longitudinal direction (6). The invention is particularly useful for modelling a rotary kiln (4, 5) for converting uranium oxyfluorides into uranium oxides and for adjusting the conversion in the kiln (4, 5).

An analyzer compensates for gas flow perturbations by providing a makeup flow of carrier gas (60) to maintain the pressure and/or flow rate of analyte and inert gas through a detector (26) constant such that a accurate determination of a low concentration of an analyte in the presence of a high concentration of a second analyte can be accurately determined. In one embodiment, a carrier gas is introduced through a valve (64) responsive to the detected pressure (66) in the gas flow stream (65) between a scrubber (22) and a subsequent detector (26) for maintaining the pressure constant during an analysis. In another embodiment of the invention, a flow transducer (76) is positioned in the gas flow path between the scrubber (22) and detector (26) and coupled to a flow control valve coupled to introduce carrier gas as a function of detected gas flow such that the flow rate of gas into the detector is maintained constant.

Novel sensor devices composed of a crystalline colloidal array (CCA) polymerized in a hydrogel are disclosed. The hydrogels are characterized as being capable of shrinking and swelling in response to specific stimuli applied thereto. As the hydrogels shrink or swell, the lattice structure of the CCA embedded therein changes, thereby changing the wavelength of light diffracted by the CCA. Thus by monitoring the change in diffracted wavelength, the concentration of a stimulus is determined. The gels can be modified to sense numerous different stimuli. The sensor devices are specific in that they are modified to react with only one species or family of species. These sensors have various applications in areas including, for example, environmental and chemical systems, chemomechanical systems, sensor devices and medical diagnostic tools. Various methods for making and using these devices are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a gas analyser (2), comprising a test chamber (8) for a gas sample, an inlet (6) for the gas sample and a gas sensor (16) sensitive to gas movement, for determining the concentration of a constituent gas in the gas sample. The inlet (6) is adapted to be connected to an inspiration line (22) of a respirator (18). When a shielding means (12) is arranged so it covers the inlet (6) of the test chamber (8), the gas sample remains relatively still inside the test chamber (8) during the analysis, regardless of the flow of the gas to be analysed. The gas analyser (2) can accordingly be devised for direct connection to the gas to be analysed.

This invention relates to a method of and device for measuring an extremely small quantity of oxygen in gas depending on the intensity of light generated when yellow phosphor vapor is reacted with oxygen in the sample gas. Together with the sample gas, a fixed quantity of oxygen is continously fed to the reaction chamber and reacted with yellow phosphor vapor so that the intensity of light generated by said reaction is measured. Density of oxygen in gas is found from the difference between a value of measured intensity of light and that of the intensity of light generated on reaction of yellow phosphor vapor with added oxygen, or from the difference between oxygen density obtained from the measured value and that of added oxygen. Addition of a fixed quantity of oxygen is performed in such process that pre-conditioned oxygen-containing gas is fed together with a fixed quantity of sample gas, or oxygen in the atmosphere is adapted to permeate an oxygen permeable film provided in the sample gas feeding system or in the yellow phosphor vapor feeding system. An extremely small quantity of oxygen under several ppb in the sample gas can continously be measured at high precision.

Sensing elements, useful in sensing the concentration of a gas, e.g., carbon dioxide, in a medium, e.g. blood, and methods for making such sensing elements are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises continuously placing a sensing composition precursor in contact with a continuous web, forming a continuous sensing composition from the precursor, and applying a continuous opaque film to the sensing composition. A plurality of individual sensing elements are formed from this composite structure. These sensing elements, which each have very similar sensing characteristics, are placed in a sensor fixture for use.
