Detectors signal

Figure 11 Single detector signal provided by the inspection of inner circonferential notch tube sample, and corresponding scalogram. Time axis (in s) and frequency axis (in Hz) have been scaled according to the speed of evolution of the detector in ihe tube (500 mm/s).

Scalogram applied to single detector signal allows notch localization along the main axis of the tube. However, no circonferential localization is possible so far. Of course, this objection can be bypassed by computing the scalogram simultaneously for the 16 detectors. But then the difficulty lies in the representation process, because of the need of real 3 dimensional representation. 

In addition, the mirrors are adjustable, so that unimportant areas can be ignored. Light re-emmited from the surfaee is detected, and the detector signal is transmitted to a computer programmed with acceptable deviation levels for comparison with a reference component. Tolerance levels can vary for different areas of the same test piece they may, for example, be higher on a ground section than on adjacent unmachined areas. 

Figure Bl.10.8. Time spectrum ftom a double coincidence experiment. Tln-ough the use of a delay in the lines of one of the detectors, signals that occur at the same instant in botii detectors are shifted to tlie middle of the time spectrum. Note the unifonn background upon which the true comcidence signal is superimposed. In order to decrease the statistical uncertainty in the detemiination of the true coincidence rate, the background is sampled over a time Aig that is much larger than the width of the true coincidence signal.

Figure 9.14 Calibration curve for GPC as log M versus the retention volume Vj, showing how the location of the detector signal can be used to evaluate M. Also shown are the void volume Vy and the internal volume Vj in relation to Vj, and KVj as a fraction of Vj.

The reseai ch has been carried out by the liquid chromatograph Perkin-Elmer (Series 200), which has tandem detectors the diode array (X=210 nm) and the refractometer. The temperature of a column was 30 C, speed of a mobile phase is 1.5 ml/ min. As a mobile phase, mixtures of solvents methanol - water and acetonitrile - water with addition of sodium perchlorate. The columns with the modified silica gel C8 and Cl8 (4.6x220 mm, 5 pm) were used for sepai ation of the AIST and FAS components. In order to make the identification of AIST and FAS components more reliable the ratio of the values of the above-mentioned detectors signals of each substance analyzed. 

The detector cells normally are connected by a capillary. For the interpretation of the detector signals the volume of this connection must be known data of the following detectors have to be shifted for the delay toward the first cell. Usually this dead volume cannot be measured immediately, as it has to be determined indirectly by test analyses, e.g.,... 

A convenient way to examine the light-scattering response from each angle of detection (detector signal versus elution volume) is shown in Fig. 20.5 for a fully hydrolyzed PVA. The chromatograms from all 15 angles of detection from a Dawn-F (Wyatt Technology Corporation, Santa Barbara, CA) are... 

A fundamental parameter characterizing the usefulness of a given precolumn for enrichment purposes is the breakthrough volume, Vg. This volume can be determined by monitoring continuously or discretely the detector signal at the outlet of the precolumn (35-37). The breakthrough volume can be defined by the following expression (37) ... 

If a controller is used with an on-off detector, it functions only as an amplifier to transmit the detector signal to the controlled device. It can modify the speed of this action hy a hias or hy a slow-speed operating motor, as in the floating control. 

The intensity of signal from the analyte compared to that from the noise is termed the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). This is used by the analyst to determine, in the first instance, whether a detector signal can be said to be real , and therefore whether an analyte is present, and then to calculate the accuracy and precision with which that analyte can be qnantified. 

Equations (33) and (34) demonstrate that the motion quantities 5 (displacement) and v (velocity) are encoded in phase and frequency modulation of the detector output signal, purely referenced to the laser wavelength A. Tobeableto recover the time histories s(t) and v t) from the modulated detector signal, adequate phase and frequency demodulation techniques, or both, are utilized in the signal decoder blocks of a laser vibrometer. 

For HPLC, it is necessary to establish the relationship between the detector signal, of which the most used is peak area, and the concentrations of the pigments. Calibration curves for external quantification should be constructed for each carotenoid. Internal calibration is also used for quantification of carotenoids, using as internal standards all-trfln5 -p-apo-8-carotenal, ° Sudan 1, and decapreno-P-carotene. ... 

A comparison is made of the detector signal in the absorption versus scattering mode. Particle sizes are calculated for the standard latex samples and their mixtures using recently reported analytical. methods which account for imperfect resolution. 

The y-detector of a Mossbauer spectrometer converts the incident y-photons into electric output pulses of defined charge (see Sect. 3.1.6). The detector signals are electronically amplified and shaped by an amplifier network to obtain strong needle pulses with well-defined rise time, so that the pulse height is proportional to the energy of the incident photon. The amplifiers are usually adjusted to obtain...
