Optical detectors for infrared, sub-millimeter and high energy radiation
InactiveUS20060214113A1Reduce the total massSimpler and less-costlyRadiation pyrometryPhotometryHigh energyGram
Optical methods and devices for the thermal detection and imaging of infrared, sub-millimeter, millimeter and high energy radiation, wherein the thermal mass of the detector is minimized by the use of microscopic photoluminescent temperature probes having a weight mass which can be of the order of 10−11 grams or smaller. Used for detection of high energy radiation, including quantum calorimetry, said temperature probes allow non-contact measurements free of electrical sources of noise like Johnson noise or Joule heating.

Snap in place gasket for sealing plastic pipelines and method of installation
InactiveUS20060071431A1Simpler and less-costlySleeve/socket jointsFluid pressure sealed jointsEngineeringGasket
A pipe sealing gasket is shown which is designed to be received within a groove provided within a belled, socket end of a plastic pipe. The groove in the plastic pipe is preformed during manufacture and the gasket is installed thereafter. The gasket nominal diameter exceeds the internal diameter of the belled pipe end. A special installation tool is used to pull the gasket from an initially deformed, elliptical shape to a normal cylindrical shape. The installation tool uses only one fluid cylinder for power and can be hand installed and operated.

Continuous web stress distribution measurement sensor
InactiveUS20070006644A1Simpler and less-costlySimple and cost-effectiveTension measurementContinuous measurementEngineering
A pressure sensor is wound in a helical pattern around a roller for providing a continuous measurement of the stress distribution within a material passing over the roller. The sensor may be a fluid filled tube having a pressure sensor at one end, or may be a piezoelectric ribbon. As the material passes over the roller, it is always applying pressure to one portion of the sensor. By monitoring the angular position of the roller, the points at which stress is being measured across the width of the material is known. The stress distribution may then be used to determine the flatness of the material passing over the roller.
