摘要： A system and method for purifying an aqueous contaminated fluid from colloidal contaminants using a closed-loop feedback control system are disclosed. Contaminated fluid flows into a mixer and mixed with a purifying agent, such as diatomaceous earth, to facilitate metathesis reaction between the purifying agent and the contaminants. The purifying agent entraps the contaminants, and is subsequently removed in a separator into sediments. An estimation of the amount of the purifying agent to dispense is performed using pre-defined equations or look-up tables stored in the database, including relationship between the concentration of contaminants in the fluid and the concentration of the added purifying agent. An automated feedback control is applied to fine tune the purification process into compliance with regulations. High accuracy of measurements is ensured by selecting the same material for both the purifying agent and the trapping medium of analyzers, and additionally by the design of the analyzers.

摘要： A system and method are provided for detecting extraneous material, often referred to as scarf, in the interior of a tubular steel product. The system is arranged to illuminate one end of the tube as it passes through the field of view of an imaging system, preferably a Smart Camera. The camera obtains images and processes the images to determine if scarf is present in the interior of the tube. Preferably a processor determines the percentage of dark pixels in the interior of the tube as detected in the image and if a predetermined threshold is met or exceeded, the tube fails. A blob sensor is also preferably used to avoid false positives where the dark pixels do not have a certain amount of connectivity.

摘要： A fluid contamination analyzer has a sample cell containing a trapping medium capable of trapping contaminants suspended in the aqueous fluid flowing through the trapping medium, a light source for illuminating the trapping medium to cause the entrapped contaminants generate a secondary radiation indicative of the identity and quantity of the contaminants, and a photodetector for receiving the secondary radiation. The fluid contamination analyzer has a reflective shell in the form of an ellipsoid extending at least partially around the sample cell and the detector, the sample cell being positioned at one of the focal points of the ellipsoid, and the photodetector at the other point of the ellipsoid to receive the secondary radiation reflected by the reflective shell.

摘要： A pattern detection method and apparatus for inspecting, with high resolution, a micro fine defect of a pattern on an inspected object, and a semiconductor substrate manufacturing method and system with a high yield. A micro fine pattern on the inspected object is inspected by annular-looped illumination through an objective lens onto a wafer, the wafer having micro fine patterns thereon. The illumination may be polarized and controlled according to an image detected on the pupil of the objective lens, and image signals are obtained by detecting a reflected light from the wafer. The image signals are compared with reference image signals and a part of the pattern showing inconsistency is detected as a defect. Simultaneously, micro fine defects on the micro-fine pattern are detected with high resolution. Further, process conditions of a manufacturing line are controlled by analyzing a cause of defect and a factor of defect.

摘要： An apparatus for measuring an absorption coefficient includes a first diffusive material, a second diffusive material inside the first diffusive material separated from the first diffusive material by a cavity, and a transparent material proximate to an inner surface of the second diffusive material that holds an absorptive material. First and second light detectors measure light intensities in the first and second diffusive materials respectively. An absorption coefficient for the absorptive material may be determined based on the first and second light intensities measured when the cavity is illuminated by a light source.
