Abstract:
Provided are methods and systems for inspecting surfaces of various components, such as evaluating height deviations on these surfaces. A method involves aggregating inspection data from multiple line scanners into a combined data set. This combined data set represents a portion of the surface that is larger than the field of measurement any one of the scanners. Furthermore, each pair of adjacent scanners operate at different periods of time to avoid interference. Because operating periods are offset, surface portions scanned by the pair of adjacent scanners can overlap without interference. This overlap of the scanned portions ensures that the entire surface is analyzed. The position of scanners relative to the inspection surface may be changed in between the scans and, in some embodiments, even during the scan. This approach allows precise scanning of large surfaces.

The invention relates to a method and to a device (1) for determining a material property, in particular the aging state or the aging resistance, of a bitumen material (2), comprising the steps: applying a substantially monochromatic first excitation radiation (4) of a first excitation wavelength (λ1) to the bitumen material (2); measuring the intensity (II) of a first fluorescence radiation, excited by the first excitation radiation (4), at a measurement wavelength; applying a substantially monochromatic second excitation radiation (6) of a first excitation wavelength (λ2) to the bitumen material (2); measuring the intensity (12) of a second fluorescence radiation, excited by the second excitation radiation (6), at the measurement wavelength; determining a first key figure (K1) for the material property of the bitumen material (2) from the ratio between the intensity (12) of the second fluorescence radiation to the intensity (II) of the first fluorescence radiation.
Abstract:
A gas detector (10) includes a cell internal space (130) into which a target gas is supplied, the target gas exhibiting an absorption peak in an absorption spectrum; a light source (410) configured to generate light having at least a wavelength belonging to the absorption peak; and a photodetector (420) configured to detect the light that has emitted from the light source (410) and has propagated through the cell internal space (130). The gas detector (10) further includes a conductive thin film (220) in which a plurality of optical apertures(222) are regularly arranged such that a transmission peak in a transmission spectrum is superimposed over the absorption peak in the absorption spectrum along a wavelength axis. The conductive thin film (220) is provided on an optical path extending from the light source (410) to the photodetector (420), and is provided so as to be contactable with the target gas within the cell internal space (130).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for measuring the rate of translation of a target protein in cells, which are based on the detection of translation of one or more predetermined codon pairs during synthesis of the target protein. The detection is provided by a FRET signal emitted from labeled tRNA molecules which are juxtaposed during synthesis of the protein.
