Raised beam

This paper intends to give, through different examples, guide-lines for characterization of array probes. We discuss, particularly, beam pattern measurement methods and raise the question whether it is useful to achieve a full characterization of all beams steered by the probe or to limit the characterization to a minimum set of acoustic configurations. An automatic bench for full characterization of tube inspection probes is described. 

The above Cl reactions will occur if they are exothennic. In order for these reactions to occur with high efficiency, the pressure in the ion source must be raised to the milliTorr level. Also, the reagent species are often introduced in large excess so that they are preferentially ionized by the electron beam. 

Alternatively, the electric focusing potential E can be changed, but this method needs another ion collector sited at the electric-sector focus, and it must be a collector that can be raised out of the ion beam when the mass of the ion being examined is required. This arrangement is not convenient. A better solution is obtained by linked scanning of the E/V voltages (see later discussion). 

A consequence of absorption of X rays is the inner shell ionization of the absorbing atoms and the subsequent generation of characteristic X rays from the absorbing atoms, called secondary fluorescence, which raises the generated intensity over that produced by the direct action of the beam electrons. Secondary fluorescence can be induced by both characteristic and bremsstrahlung X rays. Both effects are compo-sitionally dependent.

In addition to pressure maintenance in a resei voir, there are other ways to maintain or improve well productivity as the formation pressure falls. A pump can be used to raise the oil, a process called artificial lift. One type is the familiar beam pump with its surface power unit driving up and down one end of a center-mounted beam while the other end executes the opposite down-up motion. The second end is attached to a string of sucker rods that extend down to the bottom of the well and operate a pump arrangement, consisting of a cylinder, plunger, and one-way A alves. Other types of pumps in use eliminate the sucker rod and may have the power unit at... 

A bolometer is essentially a thin blackened platinum strip in an evacuated glass vessel with a window transparent to the infrared rays it is connected as one arm of a Wheatstone bridge, and any radiation absorbed raises the temperature of the strip and changes its resistance. Two identical elements are usually placed in the opposite arms of a bridge one of the elements is in the path of the infrared beam and the other compensates for variations in ambient temperature. Both the above receptors give a very small direct current, which may be amplified by special methods to drive a recorder. 

Safety Considerations. High-power lasers raise a number of safety issues. There are the flammability and the toxicity of dye solutions. Most importantly, the eye hazards of laser radiation require careful shielding of the beam, and interlocks that restrict access to the laser room and to the dome. The laser could also dazzle aircraft pilots if they look directly down the beam. It is therefore necessary to close a shutter in the beam when a plane comes too close, either manually by human spotters, or automatically by use of radar, thermal IR or CCD cameras. Care must also be taken to avoid hitting overhead satellites in the case of pulsed or high power laser systems. 

Less obviously, perhaps, the second law of thermodynamics assures us that the intensity, 1(A), is also constant along the beam, for if this were not the case, then it would be possible to focus all the radiation from a hot body onto a part of itself, increasing the radiation flux onto that portion and raising its temperature of that portion without doing work - a violation of the second law. The constancy of beam energy and intensity has other consequences, some of which are familiar to most of us. If we solve equation 29-3 for the product (den da) we get ... 

Information on particle size may be obtained from the sedimentation of particles in dilute suspensions. The use of pipette techniques can be rather tedious and care is required to ensure that measurements are sufficiently precise. Instruments such as X-ray or photo-sedimentometers serve to automate this method in a non-intrusive manner. The attenuation of a narrow collimated beam of radiation passing horizontally through a sample of suspension is related to the mass of solid material in the path of the beam. This attenuation can be monitored at a fixed height in the suspension, or can be monitored as the beam is raised at a known rate. This latter procedure serves to reduce the time required to obtain sufficient data from which the particle size distribution may be calculated. This technique is limited to the analysis of particles whose settling behaviour follows Stokes law, as discussed in Section 3.3.4, and to conditions where any diffusive motion of particles is negligible. 

The phase transition was traced by monitoring the transmittance of a 500 nm light beam on a Spectronic 20 spectrophotometer (Baush Lomb). The concentration of the aqueous polymer solution was 5 wt%, and the temperature was raised from 15 to 70°C in 2° increments every 10 min. To observe their pH/temperature dependence, the phase transitions of polymers in citric-phosphate buffer solution versus temperature at two pH values (4.0 and 7.4) were measured.
