摘要:
THIS INVENTION relates to a method of or system for detecting presence of diamond in an object. The method comprises receiving classification data associated with photons emitted from object as a result of positron annihilation due to irradiation of the object with photons of a predetermined energy at which giant dipole resonance (GDR) occurs due to a nuclear reaction between the photons and carbon. The method then comprises the step of determining whether or not the object is potentially a diamond or diamondiferous by processing the received classification data with a trained machine-based learning classifier. The system typically implements the method described herein.

The sorting method includes: an X-ray inspection step of irradiating a resin piece with X-rays including a first X-ray and a second X-ray having respective energy ranges different from each other and measuring a first transmission intensity which is an intensity of the first X-ray transmitted through the resin piece and a second transmission intensity which is an intensity of the second X-ray transmitted through the resin piece; a first determination step of making a determination as to whether the resin piece is a candidate for a useful resin piece, using the first transmission intensity; and a second determination step of making a determination as to whether a resin piece identified as a candidate for a useful resin piece in the first determination step is a useful resin piece, using a differential value obtained from the first transmission intensity and the second transmission intensity.

A method for sorting, in a continuous flow, contaminated materials, which includes: conveying materials from a point (A) to a point (B) by means of a conveyor; measuring the radioactive activity by means of a first sensor between the points (A) and (B) on the top surface (FSUP) of the first conveyor; and sorting the materials by means of a sorting device. The method may include measuring the radioactive activity of the contaminated material by means of a second sensor, either on the top surface (FSUP) of the conveyor and upstream from the point (A), or below the bottom surface (FINF) of said conveyor; calculating a differential measurement between a measurement from the second sensor and from the first sensor; and restricting the sorting to the comparison between a threshold value and the measurement from the first sensor or the differential measurement.

The invention relates to a device (10; 10a) for controlling pharmaceutical products (1) in particular, hard gelatin capsules, by means of a radiation source (11) preferably designed as an X-ray source, comprising a storage device (13) which receives the products (1) in an uncontrolled manner, and from which the products (1) are transferred to a transport element (15) in which the products (1) are arranged such that they form at least one row. The products (1) are transported in a clocked manner in the radiation area (25) of the radiation source (11) which exposes the products (1) to radiation, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof. A first stopping device (20) for separating the products (1) in the row is arranged upstream of the radiation source (11) in the direction of transportation (18) of the products (1), and at least one sensor element (28, 28a) coupled to an evaluation device (30) captures the radiation which passed through the products (1). According to the invention, at least two products (1) are separated from the row by means of the first stopping device (20) and are simultaneously positioned in the radiation area (25) and the image of the product (1) is captured by means of the at least one sensor element (28; 28a).

Disclosed herein is the use of differences in x-ray linear absorption coefficients to process ore and remove elements with higher atomic number from elements with lower atomic numbers. Use of this dry method at the mine reduces pollution and transportation costs. One example of said invention is the ejection of inclusions with sulfur, silicates, mercury, arsenic and radioactive elements from coal. This reduces the amount and toxicity of coal ash. It also reduces air emissions and the energy required to clean stack gases from coal combustion. Removal of said ejected elements improves thermal efficiency and reduces the pollution and carbon footprint for electrical production.

The method relates to the field of mineral enrichment. It involves establishing threshold values of the intensity of a luminescence signal arising during the action of a pulse of exciting radiation on a material being separated and after a specified time following the end of the exciting pulse, and, during the processing of the recorded signal, first of all determining the value of the intensity of the luminescence signal, comparing the value obtained with the specified threshold value and, in the event of the threshold value being exceeded, processing the signal in order to determine the value of the selected separation criterion, comparing the processing result with the specified threshold value and isolating the mineral to be enriched from the material being separated if the comparison result satisfies the specified criterion; in the event of the value of the intensity of the luminescence signal after a specified time following the end of the exciting pulse being less than the threshold value thereof, determining the value of the intensity of the luminescence signal arising during the pulse of exciting radiation, comparing said value with the threshold value specified therefor and isolating the mineral to be enriched from the material being separated if the threshold value is exceeded.

摘要:
A laser-based mono-energetic gamma-ray source is used to provide a rapid and unique, isotope specific method for sorting materials. The objects to be sorted are passed on a conveyor in front of a MEGa-ray beam which has been tuned to the nuclear resonance fluorescence transition of the desired material. As the material containing the desired isotope traverses the beam, a reduction in the transmitted MEGa-ray beam occurs. Alternately, the laser-based mono-energetic gamma-ray source is used to provide non-destructive and non-intrusive, quantitative determination of the absolute amount of a specific isotope contained within pipe as part of a moving fluid or quasi-fluid material stream.
