    摘要: A method and apparatus for instantaneously measuring the level of carbon dioxide (and other gases) in automotive combustion exhaust analysis is provided in the form of a portable battery driven roadside diagnostic instrument in which the CO.sub.2 level is measured by a calorimetric technique utilizing light as the energy source and a piezoelectric bimorph to vibrate a single fiber-optic element to multiplex between two fiber-optic receptors delivering the light to a measurement cell and a reference cell. The measurement cell comprises a salt of an acid-base indicator dye which provides proportional color change on contact with CO.sub.2. The dye is supported on a polymetric film in the cell.

    摘要: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for testing inflated vehicle tires to determine internal physical characteristics such as tire pressure. The apparatus includes a waveform transceiver for subjecting a tire to be tested to a transmitted waveform and for transmitting an ultrasonic waveform from a location external to the tire under test and for receiving the ultrasonic waveform from a tire under test at a location external thereto; and a processor for interpreting the received waveform with reference to the decay or attenuation of the amplitude of the waveform with time to provide a measure of the internal physical characteristic.

    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 method of analyzing exhaust gas emissions from an internal combustion engine is modified by the provision of a data process or connected to an exhaust gas analyzer and adapted to monitor changes in exhaust gas concentrations and to identify changes indicative of the state of operation of a catalytic system provided in the engine exhaust delivery system. The catalyst-on condition is identified by reference to the characteristic shape of the plot of the gas concentrations against time. Similar identification of catalyst-off conditions is provided by corresponding analysis of concentration changes and concentration values. The system can distinguish between various causes of the catalyst-off condition.

    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.

    摘要: A composite radiation detection and indicating device comprises first, third and fifth layers of a transparent conductive material, a second layer of semiconductive diamond between the first and third layers, and a fourth layer of liquid crystal material between the third and fifth layers. The layers are sandwiched together so that a diodic structure having a radiation-dependent charge storage characteristic is defined by the first, second and third layers, and a liquid crystal display element is defined by the third, fourth and fifth layers. The invention extends to a radiation detector including the composite device, together with an oscillator for applying a charge to the diodic structure, and a sensor for monitoring the decay of the stored charge. A voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display element to cause it to change state when the charge stored by the diodic structure decays below a predetermined limit.
