In situ environmentally-isolated wear tester

Nation, Brendan L.; Argibay, Nicolas

Title: In situ environmentally-isolated wear tester

Abstract

The present invention relates to an in situ testing system, which includes a wear tester and an enclosure. The wear tester is configured to apply a normal load, by way of a tip, to a surface of the test sample. Use of an enclosure allows such wear testing to be conducted in a controlled environment.

Finger wear detection for production line battery tester

Patent Depiante, Eduardo V [16 W. 505 Mockingbird La., Apt. 204, Hinsdale, IL 60521-6621]

A method for detecting wear in a battery tester probe. The method includes providing a battery tester unit having at least one tester finger, generating a tester signal using the tester fingers and battery tester unit with the signal characteristic of the electrochemical condition of the battery and the tester finger, applying wavelet transformation to the tester signal including computing a mother wavelet to produce finger wear indicator signals, analyzing the signals to create a finger wear index, comparing the wear index for the tester finger with the index for a new tester finger and generating a tester finger signalmore » « less

In-situ gloveport glove leak tester

Patent Haske, Kyle J.; Smith, James E.; Sakowski, Mark R.; ...

The invention provides a system for detecting leaks in glovebox gloves, the system having a first seal within a glovebox aperture; a second seal contacting exterior surfaces of a glovebox, wherein the exterior surfaces define a periphery of the aperture; a first fluid supply for circumferentially expanding the first seal against center facing surfaces of the aperture to a first pressure; a second fluid supply for inflating the glove to a second pressure; and a pressure gauge for detecting a pressure decrease of the second pressure. Also provided is an in situ method for detecting leaks in glove box gloves,more » « less

In-Situ Leak Testing And Replacement Of Glovebox Isolator, Or Containment Unit Gloves

Patent Castro, Julio M [Santa Fe, NM]; Macdonald, John M [Santa Fe, NM]; Steckle, Jr., Warren P. (Los Alamos, NM)

A test plug for in-situ testing a glove installed in a glovebox is provided that uses a top plate and a base plate, and a diametrically expandable sealing mechanism fitting between the two plates. The sealing mechanism engages the base plate to diametrically expand when the variable distance between the top plate and the bottom plate is reduced. An inlet valve included on the top plate is used to introducing a pressurized gas to the interior of the glove, and a pressure gauge located on the top plate is used to monitor the interior glove pressure.

In situ isolation of volatile organic compounds from groundwater

Patent Chriswell, Colin D.; Richard, John J.

Methods and apparatus for in sire isolation of volatile organic compounds from groundwater using electrolytically-generated purge gas are disclosed. One preferred method includes electrolytically generating a purge gas from the ground water, passing the purge gas through the groundwater (in situ) to purge volatile organic compounds from groundwater, collecting the purge gas along with the purged volatile organic compounds, and detecting (in situ) the presence and/or amount of purged volatile organic compounds in the purge gas. One preferred apparatus includes a generally cylindrical cell incorporating the necessary electrodes, one or more ionization sources and detectors.

Bit error rate tester using fast parallel generation of linear recurring sequences

Patent Pierson, Lyndon G.; Witzke, Edward L.; Maestas, Joseph H.

A fast method for generating linear recurring sequences by parallel linear recurring sequence generators (LRSGs) with a feedback circuit optimized to balance minimum propagation delay against maximal sequence period. Parallel generation of linear recurring sequences requires decimating the sequence (creating small contiguous sections of the sequence in each LRSG). A companion matrix form is selected depending on whether the LFSR is right-shifting or left-shifting. The companion matrix is completed by selecting a primitive irreducible polynomial with 1's most closely grouped in a corner of the companion matrix. A decimation matrix is created by raising the companion matrix to the (n*k).sup.thmore » « less
