    摘要: A system for measuring the hardness of cartridge cases employs an eddy current probe for inducing and sensing eddy currents in each cartridge case. A first component of the sensed signal is utilized in a closed loop system for accurately positioning the probe relative to the cartridge case both in the lift off direction and in the tangential direction, and a second component of the sensed signal is employed as a measure of the hardness. The positioning and measurement are carried out under closed loop microprocessor control facilitating hardness testing on a production line basis.

    摘要: The present invention includes methods and apparatuses for imaging material properties in natural-fiber-containing materials. In particular, the images can provide quantified measures of localized moisture content. Embodiments of the invention utilize an array of antennas and at least one transceiver to collect amplitude and phase data from radiation interacting with the natural-fiber-containing materials. The antennas and the transceivers are configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation at one or more frequencies, which are between 50 MHz and 1 THz. A conveyance system passes the natural-fiber-containing materials through a field of view of the array of antennas. A computing device is configured to apply a synthetic imaging algorithm to construct a three-dimensional image of the natural-fiber-containing materials that provides a quantified measure of localized moisture content. The image and the quantified measure are both based on the amplitude data, the phase data, or both.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for performing X-ray fluorescence analysis where the physical relationship between the source/detector and the object being examined is not controlled. This technique and apparatus is particularly advantageous in performing an in situ analysis of the concentration of one or more elements present in a matrix of a material such as rock. In accordance with this aspect of our invention, such a mineral assay is performed by drilling a borehole into the matrix, inserting into the borehole a probe containing a suitable XRF source/detector, irradiating the matrix, detecting the spectrum of radiation that is produced and analyzing this spectrum. Preferably, the concentration of the assayed element is determined from the following formula: ##EQU1## where S is the number of photons counted having energies in a signal range where the X-ray spectral line of the assayed element is observed, C is the number of photons counted in a range where a radiation peak is observed, B is the number of photons counted in a background range, E is the number of photons counted in a range adjacent that where said radiation peak is observed, and K.sub.1 through K.sub.6 are empirically determined constants relating to the performance of the probe.
