A method is described for the in situ characterization of a medium of a dispersed phase in a continuous phase, including the steps of adding a fluorescent dye to one phase capable of producing fluorescence therein when the fluorescent dye is optically excited, optically exciting the fluorescent dye at a wavelength to produce fluorescence in the one phase, and monitoring the fluorescence to distinguish the continuous phase from the dispersed phase. 2 figs.

Method and apparatus for centrifugal separation of dispersed phase from a continuous liquid phase

Patent - in OSTI.gov collection Ryan, D.G.

A method is described of treating a hydrocarbon oil mixture boiling in the lubricating oil range and containing wax particles, for separating wax particles from the oil mixture, comprising the steps of: centrifugating the oil mixture to be treated in a centrifugal separation device, for separating a quantity of the wax particles from the oil mixture; introducing free excess charge which is net unipolar into the oil mixture, whereby charge transfers to wax particles in the oil mixture; and collecting charged wax particles, for separation from the oil mixture.

Method for removing and decolorizing aqueous waste effluents containing dissolved or dispersed organic matter

Patent Case, F.N. ; Ketchen, E.E.

A method is provided for treating organic waste material dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous effluent, which comprises contacting the effluent with an inert particulate carbonaceous sorbent at an oxygen pressure up to 2000 psi, irradiating the resultant mixture with high energy radiation until a decolorized liquid is produced, and then separating the decolorized liquid.

Measurement of average density and relative volumes in a dispersed two-phase fluid

Patent Application - in OSTI.gov collection Sreepada, S.R. ; Rippel, R.R.

An apparatus and a method are disclosed for measuring the average density and relative volumes in an essentially transparent, dispersed two-phase fluid. A laser beam with a diameter no greater than 1% of the diameter of the bubbles, droplets, or particles of the dispersed phase is directed onto a diffraction grating. A single-order component of the diffracted beam is directed through the two-phase fluid and its refraction is measured. Preferably, the refracted beam exiting the fluid is incident upon a optical filter with linearly varying optical density and the intensity of the filtered beam is measured.

System and method for detection of dispersed broadband signals

Patent Qian, S. ; Dunham, M.E.

A system and method for detecting the presence of dispersed broadband signals in real time are disclosed. The present invention utilizes a bank of matched filters for detecting the received dispersed broadband signals. Each matched filter uses a respective robust time template that has been designed to approximate the dispersed broadband signals of interest, and each time template varies across a spectrum of possible dispersed broadband signal time templates. The received dispersed broadband signal x(t) is received by each of the matched filters, and if one or more matches occurs, then the received data is determined to have signal datamore »« less
