REFERENCE screen

Reference Screens. Whenever Risk Assistant provides a default value, a REFERENCE screen can be called up to provide a citation for the literature source from which the value was taken.

A diffuser G is illuminated with a He-Ne laser, trough a rectangular aperture A, which limits the illuminated area. A graduated screen is located at the observation plane 110(71, ), located at a distance D from the reference plane n(x,y), and perpendicularly arranged to the incident laser beam. The rotation axis y is also perpendicular to the beam. 

All echo amplitudes between -12 dB and + 2 dB, with reference to 50% signal height on the screen, are detected and shown in a color scale display in steps of 2 dB. 

With the reference block method the distance law of a model reflector is established experimentally prior to each ultrasonic test. The reference reflectors, mostly bore holes, are drilled into the reference block at different distances, e.g. ASME block. Prior to the test, the reference reflectors are scanned, and their maximised echo amplitudes are marked on the screen of the flaw detector. Finally all amplitude points are connected by a curve. This Distance Amplitude Curve (DAC) serves as the registration level and exactly shows the amplitude-over-distance behaviour" of the reference reflector for the probe in use. Also the individual characteristics of the material are automatically considered. However, this curve may only be applied for defect evaluation, in case the reference block and the test object are made of the same material and have undergone the same heat treatment. As with the DGS-Method, the value of any defect evaluation does not consider the shape and orientation of the defect. The reference block method is safe and easy to apply, and the operator need not to have a deep understanding about the theory of distance laws.

When a sound wave comes in contact with a soHd stmcture, such as a wall between two spaces, some of the sound energy is transmitted from the vibrating air particles into the stmcture causing it to vibrate. The vibrating stmcture, in turn, transmits some of its vibrational energy into the air particles immediately adjacent on the opposite side, thereby radiating sound to the adjacent space. For an incomplete barrier, such as a fence or open-plan office screen, sound also diffracts over the top and around the ends of the barrier. The subject of this section is confined to complete barriers that provide complete physical separation of two adjacent spaces. Procedures for estimating the acoustical performance of partial barriers can be found in References 5 and 7. 

A distributor is frequently installed at the top of the column for use during backwash. It collects water evenly and prevents resin from escaping the column should unexpected surges develop in the water flow during backwash. Columns lacking an upper distributor or screen to prevent loss of resin should have an external system to prevent resin from being lost to the drain. It is referred to as a resin trap and may consist of a porous bag that fits over the outlet pipe or a tank designed to lower the linear velocity. Resin drops to the bottom of the tank and is returned to the column when convenient. 

An example of the use of polyacrylamide gels in an ief system in combination with immun obi otting is given in Reference 40 where this method is used to detect low quantities of group specific component (GC) subtypes. Another example of polyacrylamide in combination with ief is given in Reference 41 where the technique is used as a screening tool for inheritance of a certain polymorphic protein. 

L. Vibrational conveyance. This is referred as the vibratory centrifuge. A relatively bign frequency force is superimposed on the rotating assembly. This can be either in-line with the axis of rotation or torsional, around the drivesbaft. In either case, the cake under inertial force from the vibration is partly fluidized and propelled down the screen under a somewhat steady pace toward the large end, where it is discharged.
