    Abstract: A detection system to detect an object in a blowout prevention system of a production system includes a sensor coupled to the blowout prevention system and configured to send an ultrasonic pulse toward the object. The sensor is further configured to receive a signal including the ultrasonic pulse and noise after the ultrasonic pulse interacts with the object. The detection system also includes a controller coupled to the sensor and configured to identify the ultrasonic pulse in the signal using a first cancellation signal at a first time and a second cancellation signal at a second time. The controller is further configured to determine that the first cancellation signal corresponds to the noise in the signal at the first time, and determine that the second cancellation signal corresponds to the noise in the signal at the second time. The controller is configured to determine a characteristic of the object based on the ultrasonic pulse.

    Abstract: A monolithic gas-sensing chip assembly for sensing a gas analyte includes a sensing material to detect the gas analyte, a sensing system including a resistor-capacitor electrical circuit, and a heating element. A sensing circuit measures an electrical response of the sensing system to an alternating electrical current applied to the sensing system at (a) one or more different frequencies, or (b) one or more different resistor-capacitor configurations of the system. One or more processors control a low detection range of the system to the gas, a high detection range of the system to the gas, a linearity of a response of the system to the gas, a dynamic range of measurements of the gas by the system, a rejection of interfering gas analytes by the system, a correction for aging or poisoning of the system, or a rejection of ambient interferences that may affect the electrical response of the system.

    Abstract: A capacitive sensor device and a method of manufacture are provided. The capacitive sensor device includes at least one sensor tip that includes an electrode positioned at a first end of the sensor tip, and a stem member coupled to the electrode and extending toward a second end of the sensor tip. The device also includes a coaxial cable including a center conductor, the center conductor coupled to the sensor tip at the second end, and an insulation layer supporting the sensor tip between the first and second ends. The insulation layer includes a metallization on a portion surrounding the second end of the sensor tip. The device further includes a casing surrounding a portion of the coaxial cable, the metallization, and the coupling of the center conductor and the sensor tip, wherein a braze joint is formed between the casing and the metallization to form a hollow, hermetic cavity.

    Abstract: Techniques for using a pyrometer to measure one or more operating characteristics of a target are provided. In one example aspect, a pyrometer is oriented relative to a target having target elements spaced from one another such that, as the target is rotated, the pyrometer alternately i) senses a target element for a period of time; and ii) then does not sense any of the target elements for a period of time as no appreciable signal is received. The pyrometer generates an output signal having alternating target pulse widths and null widths. The target and null widths have different amplitudes. The amplitude of the null signal provides an amplitude baseline for which the amplitudes of the target widths or signals may be compared to so that a temperature or other operating characteristic associated with the target can be determined.
