Abstract: A thermal and metal detection device for attaching to a wearer and alerting the wearer of the thermal sensor when detecting a thermal signature of a person includes a housing including a front wall, a back wall, and a perimeter wall. An infrared sensor is coupled to the housing and detects the thermal signature of a person within a vicinity of the user. A metal sensor is coupled to the housing and detects a metal object within the vicinity of the user. A circuit board is electrically coupled to the infrared sensor and to the metal sensor. A plurality of securing members is coupled to the housing. Each of the securing members secures the housing to an object proximate to the user such that only one of the securing members selectively secures the housing to the object when in-use.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a surface comprises first sensors, which are distributed two-dimensionally in space, said first sensors interacting with the surface in a contactless manner using a microwave range of electromagnetic signals, and the first sensors receive at least two of the microwave signals of the interaction with information relating to distances between the sensors and the surface as a reflection, the microwave signals of the interaction representing both dimensions of the space of two-dimensional distribution of the first sensors. A data processing unit receives said information on the distances, and determines at least one geometrical parameter of the surface on the basis of the information.

Abstract: A method for collection of dry samples taken directly from a nuclear reactor core interior. Incremental samples of irradiated metal alloy components of the reactor core may be taken and collected in-situ using a specialized metal-cutting drill bit having a hollow tungsten carbide sampling cutting head, in conjunction with an angled sampling gantry. The drill bit body has an interior airflow passage in hermetic communication with a filter located in a glove box. Air holes are formed through a face of the cutting head. A vacuumed airflow through the airflow passage and at the cutting head causes a sample of any of metal chips, filings, and dust to be obtained directly from the reactor core by being pulled through the air holes and into the airflow passage and ultimately into the filter. A collected sample may be analyzed for radionuclides and radioactivity level.

Abstract: A system and method for non-destructive, in situ, positive material identification of a pipe selects a plurality of test areas that are separated axially and circumferentially from one another and then polishes a portion of each test area. Within each polished area, a non-destructive test device is used to collect mechanical property data and another non-destructive test device is used to collect chemical property data. An overall mean for the mechanical property data, and for the chemical property data, is calculated using at least two data collection runs. The means are compared to a known material standard to determine, at a high level of confidence, ultimate yield strength and ultimate tensile strength within +/−10%, a carbon percentage within +/−25%, and a manganese percentage within +/−20% of a known material standard.

Abstract: Methods of detecting carburization, nitriding or chromium depletion in a non- or weakly ferromagnetic test object using a permanent magnet having a magnet pull force equal to or greater than about 75N and measuring either the adhesive force to detach the magnet from the test object or the attractive force in which the magnet is being pulled towards the surface of the test object.

Abstract: This invention discloses an improved laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) apparatus and method for the detection of mineral and metal contamination in liquid samples. The mineral and metal contaminant is first collected by filtering the liquid sample with a membrane filter. The membrane filter with the mineral and metal contaminant is then measured by a LIBS apparatus. The LIBS apparatus is based on a high repetition rate pulsed laser. The laser produces a train of laser pulses at a high repetition rate in the kHz (or even higher) range. When the laser beam hits the surface of the membrane filter, it generates several thousands of micro-plasma emissions per second. Synchronized miniature CCD array optical spectrometer modules collect the LIBS signal from these micro-plasma emissions. By adjusting the integration time of the spectrometer to cover a plurality of periods of the laser pulse train, the spectrometer integrates the LIBS signal produced by this plurality of laser pulses. Hence the intensity of the obtained LIBS spectrum can be greatly improved to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and lower the level of detection (LOD).

Abstract: A plasma spectroscopic analysis method includes a concentration process including a voltage application period in which voltage is applied to a pair of electrodes in the presence of a sample thereby concentrating an analyte contained in the sample in the vicinity of at least one of the pair of electrodes; and a detection process of generating a plasma by applying voltage to the pair of electrodes and detecting light emitted by the analyte due to the plasma. An electric current between the pair of electrodes is constant while applying voltage for at least a part of the duration of the concentration process.

Abstract: There is described a fiber-optic sensor for measuring a light signal from a fluorescible sample comprising heavy metal ions, for example. The fiber-optic sensor comprises an optical fiber having a side surface by which the light signal from the fluorescible sample is inputted. The optical fiber is corrugated to form at least two gratings on the side surface of the optical fiber. Each grating comprises periodically longitudinally spaced-apart valleys on the surface of the optical fiber, and is longitudinally spaced apart from any other grating of the at least two gratings.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for conducting high temperature corrosion tests on metallic alloys without the need for extensive laboratory equipment and attendant safety measures through the use of a two-compartment ampoule where a vestibule connects these two compartments. A pre-selected mixture of salts is placed in one compartment in order to generate a specific partial pressure of halogen gas; and a metallic alloy is placed in the other compartment. The ampoule is then heated to a pre-determined temperature and held at this temperature for a pre-determined time period. A halogen gas of a specific partial pressure is thereby generated from the mixture of salts which comes into contact with the metallic alloy. Because the ampoule creates a sealed environment, the metallic alloy is under constant halogenation during the pre-determined time period. The metallic alloy is removed for examination when the pre-determined time period expires.
