Abstract:
Disclosed is a sensor arrangement. The sensor arrangement comprises an electromagnetic radiation source to emit electromagnetic radiation, a photodetector to receive the electromagnetic radiation, and an electromagnetic-radiation-permeable element. An optical path extends from the electromagnetic radiation source to the photodetector. The electromagnetic-radiation-permeable element is rotatable over more than 360 degrees between the electromagnetic radiation source and the photodetector and relative to the optical path so that, when the element is in a second rotational position relative to the optical path a greater proportion of the optical path is occupied by the element than when the element is in a first rotational position relative to the optical path.

Abstract:
A separation type multiphase flow meter apparatus (10) comprising a separation module (18) arranged to at least partially separate a multiphase stream comprising water, hydrocarbon liquid and hydrocarbon gas into a first sub-stream comprising a gas fraction and a second sub-stream comprising a liquid fraction. The apparatus comprises a first metering dev ice (16) for measuring the flow rate of the first sub-stream, and a second metering device (17) for measuring the phase fraction and the flow rate of the second sub-stream, wherein the second metering device is arranged to measure the water-in-liquid ratio (WLR ) of the second sub-stream, wherein the apparatus is arranged to use the WLR measured by the second metering device as a measure also for the WLR of the first sub-stream, and wherein the cross-sectional flow area of the first metering device is larger than the cross-sectional flow area of the second metering device.
Abstract:
A method for measuring two-phase mixture quality in a fluid may include providing a densitometer with a densitometer body, a resonator tine, a drive transducer, and a pickup transducer. The method may also include exposing the resonator tine to the fluid and oscillating the resonator tine with the drive transducer. In addition, the method may include measuring the oscillation of the resonator tine with the pickup transducer, and determining a density of the fluid based on the measured oscillation of the resonator tine. The method may also include determining a two-phase mixture quality based on the determined density.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a bio-fluid detector such as a hemoglobin detector having the capability of receiving, storing and transmitting health information utilizing a portable transmitter and receiver including electronic PDAs such as cell phones. Further, the present invention utilizes a non-invasive hemoglobin detector that is connected to a portable transmitter-receiver such as PDAs including, but not limited to, cell phones.
Abstract:
A system for the inspection of the internal structure of a target includes at least one x-ray source that emits collimated x-rays to irradiate the target. At least one detector is positioned to detect backscatter x-rays from the target. The detector may include a collimation slot that limits the field of view of the detector. The target may be a railway component and the system may inspect the internal structure of the component as it is moved along the railway by a vehicle. The system may detect a change in the density of a target based on a comparison of the detected backscatter x-rays. The use of a plurality of segmented backscatter x-ray detectors having a collimation slot may pixelate the internal image in the direction of the collimation slot.
