Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for determining information relating to a leak in a package. In an embodiment, a solenoid/gravity system is used to rapidly pressurize a flexible package to a desired pressure and to rapidly withdraw the pressurizing agent, where another solenoid is used to rapidly and retractably impact a region on the package under test. Sensors are used to sense data corresponding to a wave in the package generated from the region of impact. The data is acquired and processed to determine information regarding a leak in the package, such as whether there is a leak in the package under test, the size of the leak, and/or the location of the leak.
Abstract:
A continuous reaction system (CRS) allows a method to prepare quantum dots (QDs) in a continuous manner with high precision. The CRS pumps a plurality of reagent fluids into one or more mixing sites to form a reaction fluid that is carried through a heating chamber at elevated pressures to carry out hydrothermal growth of the QDs. The pumps and heating chamber are controlled with a high precision by employing a detector downstream of the heating chamber to provide a signal that is dependent on the composition and size of the QDs. The signal is provided to a signal processor that provides a signal that control the flow rates and temperature parameters in the system. The QDs produced in this manner are consistent in size and composition and can be of a single semiconductor composition or can be core-shell QDs with a shell semiconductor formed on a core semiconductor.
