    摘要: A state detection device capable of detecting a state of an apparatus is provided. A state detection device includes an acquisition unit that acquires observation information including information regarding a resonance frequency of microwaves acquired by introducing microwaves into a first apparatus, which is the target of state detection, while sweeping the frequency; a detection unit that detects the state of the first apparatus by comparing the observation information with reference information including information regarding a resonance frequency of microwaves introduced into a second apparatus in a reference state; and an output unit that performs output in accordance with a detection result of the detection unit.

    摘要: The disclosed method involves using a radio frequency sensor to estimate soot load in a diesel particulate filter. An engine control module receives a first mean attenuation value derived from attenuation values for a set of radio frequencies within a specific band detected by the sensor. Additionally, first standard deviation data related to the mean attenuation value is received. The method determines whether this standard deviation data exceeds a predefined threshold. If not, the first mean attenuation value is used to infer the soot load. If the standard deviation data threshold is exceeded, a second mean attenuation value from a different set of radio frequencies within another band is obtained. Similarly, second standard deviation data is received. If the second standard deviation data does not exceed the threshold, the second mean attenuation value is used to infer the soot load.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for sensing, detecting, characterizing, and imaging dielectric objects using microwave signals. An example of a method for obtaining an image with a dielectric tomography system includes positioning an object in at least a portion of an electromagnetic field of a characterized sensor including at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit a radio frequency signal within 10 MHz and 300 GHz, positioning one or more receive antennas configured to receive one or more radio frequency signals scattered by the object, determining permittivity information associated with the object based at least in part on phase and magnitude measurements of the one or more radio frequency signals received by the one or more receive antennas, and computing one or more images based on the permittivity information and calibration information associated with the characterized sensor.

    摘要: A method and system for downhole sampling. The system may include a downhole fluid sampling tool that may include one or more probes configured to extend into a formation, and a pump configured to collect a fluid from the formation through the one or more probes. The method may further comprise a flowline configured to transport the fluid from the formation through the one or more probes and through the downhole fluid sampling tool and a fluid analysis module comprising a resonator antenna disposed on the flowline and configured to measure at least one property of the fluid. Additionally, the method may comprise measuring at least one property of the fluid with at least one resonator antennas that are disposed on or within an outer surface of the flowline.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems and methods of analyzing an in vitro flowing fluid using an in vitro sensor that operates using non-optical frequencies such as in the radio or microwave frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The in vitro sensor directs one or more signals that are in the radio or microwave frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum into an in vitro flowing fluid and detects one or more responses that result from transmission of the signal(s) into the in vitro flowing fluid.
