Abstract: A light detection module has N optical channels, each with an optical filter, a detector, and an amplifier; and an N×1 switch with N input ports each connected to one corresponding output port of each channel to receive an amplified detector output corresponding to a filtered optical intensity incident on that detector. The switch cycles between channels, connecting each amplified detector output in turn to the output port. An ADC samples a time dependent optical intensity signal from the switch, generating a corresponding ADC digital signal output. A microcontroller, connected to the N×1 switch and the ADC, controls acquisition by the ADC to provide a digital voltage data stream from each channel; making the average optical intensity value characterizing the voltage data stream available from each channel at a digital output port of the microcontroller, as N data values, characterizing the light incident on the N channels of the module.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify, based on spectroscopic data, a pseudo steady state end point indicating an end of a pseudo steady state associated with the blending process. The device may identify a reference block and a test block from the spectroscopic data based on the pseudo steady state end point. The device may generate a raw detection signal associated with the reference block and a raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may generate a statistical detection signal based on the raw detection signal associated with the reference block and the raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may determine whether the blending process has reached a steady state based on the statistical detection signal.

Abstract: A modular device includes base and color sensing portions. The color sensing portion has a face, a controlled light source offset from the face to define an interior, the face configured to engage a target surface about a perimeter of the device housing wherein ambient light is restricted from entering the interior. A color sensor receives light reflected from the target surface and generates output signals representative of a surface color. The base portion communicates with the color sensor and a user device having a hosted program which generates a user interface enabling users to provide control input for the color sensor. The program further receives the output signals from the color sensing device and displays a first image of the detected color, and displays a second image of a user-selected color beside the first image. Color data values are further displayed corresponding to the difference between displayed colors.

Abstract: A system and method for non-destructive, in situ, positive material identification of a pipe selects three test areas that are separated axially and circumferentially from one another and then polishes a portion of each test area. Within each polished area, a non-destructive test device is used to collect mechanical property data and another non-destructive test device is used to collect chemical property data. An overall mean for the mechanical property data, and for the chemical property data, is calculated using at least two data collection runs. The means are compared to a known material standard to determine, at a high level of confidence, ultimate yield strength and ultimate tensile strength within +/−10%, a carbon percentage within +/−25%, and a manganese percentage within +/−20% of a known material standard.
