Abstract

A method for studying the chemical and structural characteristics of materials is disclosed. The method includes placement of a sample material in a high strength polarizing magnetic field to order the sample nuclei. The condition used to order the sample is then removed abruptly and the ordering of the sample allowed to evolve for a time interval. At the end of the time interval, the ordering of the sample is measured by conventional nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. 5 figs.

Method and apparatus for measuring nuclear magnetic properties

Patent Weitekamp, Daniel P. (39 Kenyon Ave., Kensington, CA 94708); Bielecki, Anthony (Berkeley, CA); Zax, David B. (Berkeley, CA); ...

A method for studying the chemical and structural characteristics of materials is disclosed. The method includes placement of a sample material in a high strength polarizing magnetic field to order the sample nucleii. The condition used to order the sample is then removed abruptly and the ordering of the sample allowed to evolve for a time interval. At the end of the time interval, the ordering of the sample is measured by conventional nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.

Magnetic method and apparatus for measuring and locating wear of control rods in nuclear reactors

Patent Chickering, R.W.; Miller, R.S.; Moss, H.D.

This patent describes an apparatus for measuring and locating wear in a test piece subject to distortion. It comprises: a transducer test fixture having at least one through-hole therein for passage of the test piece. The hole having a shape corresponding closely to the shape of the test piece; an RF-excited circumferential coil mounted in the test fixture and adapted to surround the hole in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the hole for producing a circumferential magnetic field. The circumferential coil producing a corresponding RF volume output in response to volume changes in the test piece; amore »« less
Apparatus and method of measuring fluctuations of excavated mud amount in a slurry line. [using. gamma. densimeter and electro-magnetic flowmeter]

Patent Yamazaki, H.; Kubota, R.; Uchida, Y.; ...

An apparatus and method for measuring fluctuations in amount of soil in slurry or soil-containing fluid line is described. Each system of feeding the slurry typically to tunneling face and draining it therefrom in the slurry line is provided with gamma-ray densimeter and electromagnetic flow-meter to obtain respective amounts of soil only (dry-soil amounts) in the slurry flowing through each of said systems from respective outputs of these meters in each system, so that actually excavated amount through ground layer of a shielded excavator at the tunneling face can be measured by the difference between the respective dry-soil amounts.

Method and apparatus for measuring material properties related to radiation attenuation

Patent Giles, R.F.

At least one radioactive source emitting at least two types of radiation is used with two detectors to measure properties of a material which are related to radiation attenuation by that material.
Nuclear radiation measuring method and apparatus having blanking time inversely related to count rate. [for inhibiting measurement during excessive background counts]

Patent Luitwieler, S.H. Jr.

A method and apparatus are described for inhibiting measurement of nuclear radiation in a scintillation counter during periods of excessive background radioactivity produced, for example, by cosmic energy surges impinging on the scintillation counter. The count rate of a radioactive source or sample being measured is monitored and detector means are provided for detecting the occurrence of an energy surge exceeding a predetermined energy level. When a surge is detected, inhibit means inhibits counting for a time period which varies inversely with the count rate.
