摘要: A hybrid collimated probe incorporates two detectors consisting of a scintillating crystal or semiconductor material, such as Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT). The count rate measured on the rear detector is corrected for the shielding effect of the front detector before the count rate ratio is calculated. This is done by multiplying the rear detector count rate by a factor pre-determined from the thickness and density of the front detector for a specific radionuclide energy. The count rate ratio also must be corrected for the presence of background radiation at the target site. This is done by taking a 3 second average of the count rate over tissue that does not contain a radiotracer sequestered at the site of pathology, but in adjacent tissue that is uniformly perfused by a lower level concentration of the radiotracer circulating in the blood pool background.

摘要: A device having two mutually spaced sensor loops is provided. The device includes a magnetostrictive sensor structure coupled to a plurality of transmitters and a plurality of receivers, and along which a magnet that is secured to the rotating component moves. Each sensor loop has a shape corresponding to a rotating direction of the rotating component. Two saturation zones are in both sensor loops. Each transmitting element is provided for simultaneously coupling two current pulses in opposite direction into one respective sensor loop. Each receiving element is positioned to receive a reflected pulse by the magnet at the respective saturation zone. The receiving elements are connected to evaluation electronics configured to for determine an angular position of the rotating component based on transit times for the current pulse to travel along the respective sensor loop from the respective transmitting element to the respective saturation zone and for each reflected pulse to travel along the respective sensor loop from the respective saturation zone to the respective receiving element.

摘要: Systems, assemblies, and methods can involve a retainer assembly adapted to interface with a sensor rod of an in-cylinder position sensor assembly of a fluid cylinder. The retainer assembly can comprise an annular body that defines a bore extending from a first end of the annular body to a second end of the annular body opposite the first end; a sleeve disposed in the bore at an inner wall of the annular body; and one or more magnets fixedly provided between the annular body and the sleeve in a radial direction of the annular body. Each of the one or more magnets may be fixedly molded in place between the annular body and the sleeve in the radial direction of the annular body.

摘要: When receiving a transmission signal, a reception controller obtains a pulse count value of each of rotation sensor units. Next, the reception controller compares, with a threshold, the difference between the obtained pulse count value and a previously obtained pulse count value. The reception controller identifies, based on the result of comparison between the difference between pulse count values and the threshold, the positions of wheel assemblies, in each of which a transmitter is provided.

摘要: A position sensor comprises a waveguide of magnetostrictive material which extends along a measurement path and which is configured for conducting mechanical pulses triggered by magnetostriction. A transducer at a first end of the waveguide serves for coupling a current pulse into the waveguide and for detecting a mechanical pulse conducted by the waveguide in the direction of the transducer. A damping element of an elastomer material is provided at a second end of the waveguide for damping a mechanical pulse propagating in the direction of the second end, wherein the hardness of the elastomer material increases as the distance from the transducer increases. The invention furthermore relates to a method of manufacturing a damping element of such a position sensor.
