    摘要: A downhole fluid analysis system includes an optical sensor that includes a light source configured to emit light, a light detector, and an optical tip optically coupled to the light source and the light detector. At least a portion of the light emitted from the light source travels through the optical tip and returns to the detector, wherein the optical tip has a bi-conical shape. The system further includes a piezoelectric helm resonator, in which the piezoelectric helm resonator generates a resonance response in response to an applied current, and an electromagnetic spectroscopy sensor positioned symmetrically with respect to the piezoelectric helm resonator in at least one direction. In some embodiments, the optical tip includes a first conical portion and a second conical portion.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for in-situ measurement of the concentration of gaseous chemical species contained in a biogas (10) flowing in a pipe (20), for example in a biogas treatment plant or a system using biogas.
    The method according to the invention is implemented by means of an optical measurement system (40) including a light source (41) and a spectrometer (44). Source (41) emits a UV radiation (42) through the biogas (10) within a measurement zone (21) in the pipe. Spectrometer (44) detects at least part of said UV radiation that has passed through biogas (10) and it generates a digital signal of the light intensity (50) as a function of the wavelength of the part of the UV radiation that has passed through the biogas. The chemical species concentration is then determined from digital light intensity signal (50).

    摘要: An apparatus for the production of solid dosage forms is presented, wherein the apparatus comprises a material processing chamber which is operable for manufacturing a product according to a pre-set product formation process path. The apparatus has at least one sensor for continuously monitoring formation of the product in the material processing chamber during the product formation process non-invasively in real time by sensing at least one product functional attribute value and a means for comparing each sensed product functional attribute value with a desirable product functional attribute value for that point on the product formation process path. A controller controls operation of the material processing chamber in response to the sensed product functional attribute value for maintaining the product on the product formation process path.
