    摘要: A densitometer for determining the density distribution and variation of density of an object such as in vivo bone using a source of annihilation radiation or a source of photons in the energy range between about 200-keV and 1500-keV and a pair of photon detectors for detecting photons emitted in coincidence. The object is positioned between the photon source and one of the detectors, referred to as the "blocked" detector, and the density is determined by comparing the number of coincident photons detected by the blocked and unblocked detectors along the path of photons.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for revealing manufacturing defects in testpieces, such as printed circuit boards, by passing through high-intensity attenuated x-rays (above 150 Kilo-Volts) to reusable photo plates for revealing defects in the testpieces. The x-rays are angled from 35 to 50 degrees for generating images of defects within thick multilayered printed circuit boards. During exposure, a thin lead sheet is placed between the testpiece and a phosphor photographic plate on a side of the testpeice opposite the x-ray gun. The lead sheet uniformly attenuates the high-energy x-rays to the captured image before they reach the phosphor plate to avoid damage to the photographic reuse of the plate and prevent over-exposure without loss of image contrast in the phosphor photograph. The exposed phosphor plate is excited with a low energy monochromatic radiation to visually activate the latent x-ray image in the exposed plate. The activated image is received by an analog-to-digital converter which digitizes the image into digital signals that are formed into a data file. The data file of the digitized image is stored in a digital computer for display on a computer display device. Then, the image is erased by an ultra-violet lamp, and the phosphor plate is reused for later photographs of other boards. The data file provides a permanent way to maintain the visual quality of the x-ray captured image which would otherwise rapidly deteriorate.

    摘要: The invention has an X-ray emitting tube and a linear detector on opposite sides of a plane containing a strip to be measured and an electronic acquisition, measuring and control unit. A mask transversely moveable relative to the strip occludes radiation from the X-ray emitting tube which is not intercepted by the strip or which passes through the edge region of the strip. This device offers an improved degree of precision measurement near the edge of the strip.

    摘要: A pass-line independent measuring device for producing thickness related measurements (e.g., thickness, basis weight, density, etc.) of a moving web. The thickness measurements themselves are based on a nuclear source and detector mounted on one or both sides of the web, the source emitting radiation and the detector detecting emitted radiation from the web as an uncorrected measure of web thickness. An ultrasonic distance measuring means is fixedly associated with either the source, the detector, or both and continuously directs ultrasonic pulses in a direct path to the web, measures reflections in substantially a similar direct path, and by means of the time delay between a pulse and its reflection determines the actual pass-line of the web between the source and detector. The pass-line is used with a correcting function to correct the nuclear readings and provide a substantially accurate measure of web thickness corrected for pass-line. The very direct paths for both types of radiation and the rugged nature of the assembly assures reliable operation in industrial environments.

    摘要: This invention applies to thickness gauges consisting of a radiation source producing a beam aimed at a detector. Whenever a material to be gauged obstructs the radiation beam, the intensity received by the detector (detector output) varies and said variation can be translated into a thickness measurement. Standards are used for calibration. This invention provides computer means and methods that provide better measurements by using a function relating the thickness to the detector output in a large range and independently of random inaccuracies of the standards.

    摘要: The thickness of a hot metal plate is measured during rolling by determining the absorption by the plate of gamma radiation transmitted through the plate, the gamma radiation having at least one characteristic energy. A measurement value of the intensity of the radiation after passage of the plate is provided by digitally counting pulses generated by a radiation detector. Essentially only pulses which belong to the photopeak of said at least one characteristic energy in the pulse spectrum obtained from the detector are counted. The counted number of pulses is corrected for dead time losses by using a live time counter.Corrected mass absorption coefficients corresponding to partial thickness ranges within the total thickness range are calculated from the measured intensity of radiation passed through calibrating plates of differing thicknesses.

    摘要: In a radiation thickness gauge of the type wherein the thickness of a sample is determined by measuring the amount of radiations transmitting through the sample, there is provided an x-ray generator for transmitting a radiation flux through a reference sheet utilized for calibration purposes and having a thickness manifesting a radiation absorption which is equivalent to that of the sample having a nominal thickness which has been compensated for the difference in the radiation absorption characteristics of the reference sheet and the sample, a radiation detector for detecting the amount of the radiations transmitting through the reference sheet and the sample, a memory for storing the output of the detector when the reference sheet is interposed, and an operator, such as a computer. The operator functions to substitute the output of the radiation detector when the sample is interposed for a term representing the variation in the thickness of an equation determined by the content of the memory and the radiation absorption function of the reference sheet so as to produce an output signal representing the thickness of the sample.
