摘要： A method and apparatus for determining tire pressure in automotive vehicles utilices twin spaced parallel and non-transverse piezoelectric cables which are traversed by a vehicle to produce a voltage pulse having a shapes or profiles characteristic of the tire pressure. Waveform analysis on the basis of a software algorithm and/or look-up calibration data enables numerical pressure determination. The system is well adapted for remote automotive vehicle tire pressure sensing under normal conditions of vehicle use.

摘要： A method and apparatus for analysis of brakes in automotive vehicles, and related aspects of engine performance and like applications, senses heat energy which is generated internally of an article to be analysed. Spot-type infra-red thermometers are employed to sense localised temperature elevation produced by brake application from a remote location using visual positioning guides to enable the spot zones sensed to be accurately located on, for example, wheel nuts/studs, which provide a thermal transfer route from the brake drums or discs. Analysis of the thermal data from the sensors includes a peak detect-and-hold function to avoid the need for maintenance of accurate alignment of the sensors. Comparison of the thermal data enables detection of braking imbalance.

摘要： The instant invention relates to a method and an apparatus of monitoring nuclear radiation. The method utilizes a diamond radiation sensor element having a nitrogen impurity concentration of less than 150 ppm. The sensor element is subjected to nuclear radiation, while being stimulated with light of a selected wavelength or range of wavelengths, preferably in the ultraviolet or near-ultraviolet range, resulting in light emissions from the sensor element. Typically, the sensor element is fixed to the end of an optical fibre, the far end of the fibre being used to channel stimulating light to the sensor element and to feed resultant light emissions from the sensor element to a photomultiplier tube.

摘要： A cutting tool such as a laser knife comprises a passage for a beam of light, a layer of single crystal diamond located in the passage to intercept the light passing down the passage, the diamond layer presenting a surface for the incoming light and a surface for the outgoing light, and an anti-reflective coating bonded to at least one of the surfaces. The anti-reflective coating is typically a silicon ceramic material for wavelengths not exceeding 2 .mu.m and typically a polycrystalline diamond for wavelengths of at least 2 .mu.m.

摘要： A method and apparatus for analysis of particulate content of gases, applicable to the quantitative and qualitative analysis of vehicle engine emissions, includes sampling, removing particles and analysis of the removed particles. Sampling is effected by electrostatic precipitation using a catalyst-coated piezoelectric crystal. The analysis of the removed particles is effected by heating the crystal in an oxidizing atmosphere to oxidize the deposited particles. Connection of the crystal to an oscillation circuit enables the frequency of oscillation of the crystal to be monitored. Changes in the frequency of oscillation are interpreted to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of particles deposited and subsequently oxidized.

摘要： A neutron detector is formed from a layer of polycrystalline diamond which is deposited by a chemical vapor deposition process. The diamond material contains .sup.10 B as a dopant, in a concentration of 1,000 ppm or less. In one embodiment, the layer of diamond material is deposited on a supporting substrate. Advantageously, the substrate itself may comprise a layer of diamond material. In another embodiment, the substrate comprises a layer of conductive or semiconductive material. The diamond material is deposited on top of the substrate, with at least two regions in contact with the semiconductive material. A central portion of the semiconductive material is etched away, and electrical contacts are applied to the remaining portions of the semiconductive substrate. An advantage of the neutron detector of the invention is that the diamond layer is very thin, less than 50 .mu.m thick, so that the sensitivity of the detector to other radiation, particularly .gamma. radiation, is reduced.

摘要： The invention provides a process for manufacturing an electronic device on a semiconducting substrate which is transparent to light of a particular wavelength. The process includes the steps of treating the substrate to form at least one region having a different electrical property to the substrate, and defining a conducting contact for the region by selective photolithographic masking and chemical etching. A layer of photoresist material deposited on one side of the substrate is subjected to light transmitted through the substrate from a light source on the other side of the substrate. The process can be used to produce a field effect transistor on a diamond substrate.
