Abstract

Devices, systems and methods for use of an autonomously powered inductive time domain reflectometer sensor device are provided. A sensor device for a power line can include a first induction coil and a second induction coil coupled to the power line and a control device. The first induction coil can be configured to inject a first signal on a power line by inducing a first current on the power line. The second induction coil can be configured to inject a second signal on the power line by inducing a second current on the power line. The control device can be configured to control the second induction coil to inject the second signal to cancel a portion of the first signal. As a result of the second signal cancelling a portion of the first signal, the first signal can be configured to propagate in a single direction on the power line.

Innovative Sensors for Pipeline Crawlers: Rotating Permanent Magnet Inspection

Technical Report Nestleroth, J Bruce ; Davis, Richard J ; Flamberg, Stephanie

Internal inspection of pipelines is an important tool for ensuring safe and reliable delivery of fossil energy products. Current inspection systems that are propelled through the pipeline by the product flow cannot be used to inspect all pipelines because of the various physical barriers they may encounter. To facilitate inspection of these ''unpiggable'' pipelines, recent inspection development efforts have focused on a new generation of powered inspection platforms that are able to crawl slowly inside a pipeline and can maneuver past the physical barriers that limit internal inspection applicability, such as bore restrictions, low product flow rate, and low pressure.more »« less

Mutual inductance current transducer

Patent Hemminger, R C

This patent describes a mutual inductance differential current transducer for producing an analog voltage output signal in response to, and having a level varying linearly with respect to, and having a level varying linearly with respect to, the magnitude and rate of change of a flow of current supplied by an alternating current power line distribution system. It comprises: an elongated current conductor having first and second ends and a substantially straight axial portion therebetween of a predetermined length and defining a central axis; a generally cylindrical sleeve of conductive material of substantially the predetermined length, received coaxially over themore »« less
Magnetism reflectometer study shows LiF layers improve efficiency in spin valve devices

Journal Article Bardoel, Agatha A ; Lauter, Valeria ; Szulczewski, Greg J - Notiziario Neutroni E Luce di Sincrotrone

New, more efficient materials for spin valves - a device used in magnetic sensors, random access memories, and hard disk drives - may be on the way based on research using the magnetism reflectometer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Spin valve devices work by means of two or more conducting magnetic material layers that alternate their electrical resistance depending on the layers alignment. Giant magnetoresistance is a quantum mechanical effect first observed in thin film structures about 20 years ago. The effect is observed as a significant change in electrical resistance, depending on whether the magnetization of adjacent ferromagneticmore »« less
FLASH X-RAY (FXR) LINEAR INDUCTION ACCELERATOR (LIA) OPTIMIZATION Sensor Delay Correction

Technical Report Ong, M M ; Houck, T L ; Kreitzer, B R ; ...

The radiographic goal of the FXR Optimization Project is to generate an x-ray pulse with peak energy of 19 MeV, spot-size of 1.5 mm, a dose of 500 rad, and duration of 60 ns. The electrical objectives are to generate a 3 kA electron-beam and refine our 16 MV accelerator so that the voltage does not vary more than 1%-rms. In a multi-cell linear induction accelerator, like FXR, the timing of the acceleration pulses relative to the beam is critical. The pulses must be timed optimally so that a cell is at full voltage before the beam arrives and doesmore »« less

Microscale autonomous sensor and communications module

Patent Okandan, Murat ; Nielson, Gregory N

Various technologies pertaining to a microscale autonomous sensor and communications module are described herein. Such a module includes a sensor that generates a sensor signal that is indicative of an environmental parameter. An integrated circuit receives the sensor signal and generates an output signal based at least in part upon the sensor signal. An optical emitter receives the output signal and generates an optical signal as a function of the output signal. An energy storage device is configured to provide power to at least the integrated circuit and the optical emitter, and wherein the module has a relatively small diametermore » and thickness.« less
