Abstract:
A scintillator composition is described. The scintillator composition includes a matrix material and an activator. The matrix material includes at least one alkali metal or thallium; at least one alkali metal, different than the previously selected alkali metal; at least one lanthanides; and at least two halogens. The activator is cerium. Further, radiation detectors, which include the scintillator composition and methods for detecting high-energy radiation are also described and form part of this disclosure.
Abstract:
A method of method of forming or repairing a superalloy article having a columnar or equiaxed or directionally solidified or amorphous or single crystal microstructure includes emitting a plurality of laser beams from selected fibers of a diode laser fiber array corresponding to a pattern of a layer of the article onto a powder bed of the superalloy to form a melt pool; and controlling a temperature gradient and a solidification velocity of the melt pool to form the columnar or single crystal microstructure.
Abstract:
A subsea assembly comprising an electric subsea machine having an electric motor driving an operator, and a coolant circuit at least partially located in thermal contact with the electric motor, the coolant circuit including a cooling assembly located externally from the subsea machine, the cooling assembly comprising at least a heat transfer element, the subsea machine and the cooling assembly being supported by a common supporting frame; at least a part of the heat transfer element is integrated in the frame.
