摘要:
A method for mineral analysis of a sample based on detection of NQR and/or Local Field Magnetic Resonance (LFMR) signals from a particular substance within a sample includes: setting a frequency of RF pulses to be approximately equal to one of the NQR or LFMR frequencies of the substance; setting a set of parameters of the RF pulses to be optimal for the substance; setting a set of receiving parameters to be optimal for the substance; tuning the probe to maximum sensitivity for the signals detected at predetermined frequency and/or to maximum power transfer efficiency for RF pulses transmitted with the probe; transmitting the RF pulses with the probe at said optimal level during a transmitting period to irradiate the sample and excite an NQR or LFMR signal in the substance, if present; detecting and processing NQR or LFMR signals emitted by the substance; and calculating the concentration of the substance in the sample.
摘要:
A system and method for detecting failing rail car wheels, brakes, bearings, and/or other components of a rail car may include at least one thermal sensor and at least one image capture device. The thermal sensor(s) and image capture devices(s) are usable to help determine whether there is a failure or potential failure of a component of a wheel set by detecting, measuring and/or comparing a temperature of various portions of the wheel set. If the temperature is higher than expected, it may indicate, for example, a stuck brake, a failing bearing, and/or some other failure of the wheel set. If the temperature is lower than expected, it could indicate that a brake of the wheel set is unexpectedly disengaged and/or some other failure of the wheel set.
摘要:
An exemplary system and method for analyzing rolling stock wheels which helps allow a wheel to be analyzed at speed, reducing any need for manual inspections or other related delays. An exemplary system may include one or more high-speed cameras to capture images of the rolling stock wheel(s) at speed. The images may include one or more markers to assist in analyzing various parameters of the rolling stock wheel.
