Abstract: A temperature measurement sensor for use in a nuclear reactor is described. The sensor includes a first neutron detector member and a second neutron detector member. The first neutron detector includes an outer shield material with an effective neutron capture cross section that is temperature dependent. The first neutron detector member outputs a first current signal and the second neutron detector member outputs a second current signal. An electrical connection between the first and second neutron detector members produces a net current that is the difference in current between the first and second signals. The difference is proportional to changes in temperature.

Abstract: An electronic thermometer includes a probe adapted to be heated by a subject for use in measuring a temperature of the subject. At least one temperature sensor detects a temperature of the probe. A probe sensor detects a condition at the probe. The probe sensor has an idle condition when the probe is not inserted into the subject. A processor is operatively connected to the probe sensor and programmed to monitor a change in the condition of the probe sensor from the idle condition to determine whether the probe has been received in a probe cover and inserted into the subject.

Abstract: A method of classifying an electromagnetic-energy emitting source event as one of a first, second, and third class event includes registering an irradiance spectrum from the source event. The intensity of the energy emitted from the source event is measured within each of first, second and third energy sub-ranges and first, second and third relative-energy values are associated with, respectively, the first, second and third energy sub-ranges. A first class-eliminating determination is rendered by comparing to one another a first selected set of two of the relative-energy values, thereby yielding two remaining-candidate event classes. When necessary, a second class-eliminating determination renders the proper classification for the source event by comparing to one another a second selected set of relative-energy values including the relative-energy value not selected for inclusion in the first selected set of two relative-energy values and one of the previously selected relative-energy values. The energy-value comparisons are carried out with reference to modeled source-event irradiance data from which expected ratio behaviors among the selected energy sub-ranges are ascertainable relative particular event types at various ranges and under disparate atmospheric conditions.

Abstract: Techniques for determining certain parameters of semiconductor specimens using X-ray spectroscopy are described. The invention can be used to determine parameters such as composition, dimensions, and density of semiconductor specimens. Specifically, an X-ray spectrum simulation algorithm is used to iteratively generate a theoretical X-ray spectrum for a semiconductor specimen having certain parameters. The iterative generation of theoretical X-ray spectrums continues until one of the theoretical X-ray spectrum closely matches the actual X-ray spectrum measured off of the specimen. In an alternative embodiment, this technique of generating theoretical X-ray spectrums can be used in combination with a pre-existing library of X-ray spectral signatures for semiconductor specimens having various parameters.
