Abstract: A system includes a top scanner head configured over a coated substrate. An x-ray sensor and a second x-ray sensor scan the coated substrate. At least one of the x-ray sensor and second x-ray sensor is tuned to an energy level below an absorption peak and at least one of the x-ray sensor and second x-ray sensor is tuned to an energy level above the absorption peak. The x-ray sensor and second x-ray sensor scan a same sheet spot on the coated substrate. A bottom scanner head is configured underneath the coated substrate to provide a location for a detection of x-rays for the x-ray sensor and the second x-ray sensor.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a flare burner with a camera. The methods and systems which may indicate to operators the presence or absence of one or more of smoke, flare flame, and steam plume and record those indications or measurements. Additionally, the methods and systems may confirm whether compliance with local regulations on visual emissions, smoke plume is achieved. The methods and systems automatically adjust the delivery rate of key inputs including measures assist fuel gas, purge gas, steam and/or air simultaneously to maintain or attain compliance with said local regulatory requirements. Also, methods for a machine learning process for using controller inputs to identify normal and abnormal flare states and provide visual indications and flare operation recommendations.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit a signal including an electromagnetic pulse towards material in a tank. The apparatus also includes a receiver configured to receive a signal including multiple reflections of the pulse. The apparatus further includes at least one processing device configured to process the received signal and determine a measurement associated with the material in the tank. To process the received signal, the at least one processing device is configured to fit multiple models onto the received signal, select one of the models, identify at least one of the multiple reflections in the received signal using the selected model, and determine the measurement using the at least one identified reflection in the received signal. Each model is constructed from a superposition of multiple types of pulse reflections.

Abstract: A waveguide apparatus for a guided wave radar level transmitter. The waveguide apparatus includes a compacted strand wire rope composed of a group of strands that are compacted and arranged in an outer diameter around a central strand. The compacted strand wire rope for use as a waveguide is configured with a process step of running the strands through a die or rollers to cold work the outer diameter which crushes the wire rope into a smaller cross-section to form the compacted strand wire rope.

Abstract: A measurement apparatus for weight measuring composite sheet including a sheet material having a second material thereon as a coating and/or as embedded particles therein. The apparatus includes an x-ray sensor for providing an x-ray signal from x-ray irradiating the composite sheet and an infrared (IR) sensor for providing an IR signal from IR irradiating the composite sheet. A computing device is coupled to receive the x-ray signal and the IR signal that includes a processor having an associated memory for implementing an algorithm, where the algorithm uses the x-ray signal and the IR signal to compute a plurality of weights selected from a weight of the sheet material, a weight of the second material, and a total weight of the composite sheet.

Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes a beta gauge for generating a first sensor response signal from a composite sheet including a sheet material having a coating thereon including a high-z material or the sheet material has particles including the high-z material embedded in the sheet material. A second sensor being an x-ray or an infrared (IR) sensor provides a second sensor response signal from the composite sheet. A computing device is coupled to receive the first and the second sensor response signal that includes a processor having an associated memory for implementing an algorithm that uses the first and the second sensor response signal to simultaneously compute two or more weight measures selected from (i) a weight per unit area of the high-z material, (ii) a weight per unit area of the sheet material, and (iii) a total weight per unit area of the composite sheet.

Abstract: A sensor system includes an eddy current sensor including at least one coil with excitation electronics coupled across the coil. An optical displacement sensor is secured to the eddy current sensor so that a vertical distance between the sensors is fixed. The optical displacement sensor is located on top of and concentric with the coil so that a measurement axis of the optical displacement sensor is collinear with an axis of symmetry of the coil. A computing device including a processor and memory is coupled to receive sensor data from the eddy current sensor and the optical displacement sensor that is adapted for analyzing the sensor data obtained from measuring a coated substrate including a coating layer on at least one side of a metal substrate to determine at least a thickness of the coating layer.
