48 results about "Radiation damping" patented technology

Radiation damping in accelerator physics is a way of reducing the beam emittance of a high-velocity charged particle beam by synchrotron radiation. The two main ways of using radiation damping to reduce the emittance of a particle beam are the use of undulators and damping rings (often containing undulators), both relying on the same principle of inducing synchrotron radiation to reduce the particles' momentum, then replacing the momentum only in the desired direction of motion.

Multi-layer light-weight garment material with low radiation buildup providing scattered-radiation shielding

A multi-ply, preferably flexible, x-ray shielding material which can be formed into a garment is provided. Such material is lighter in weight but that provides a specific degree of protection under the standard conditions met in fluoroscopy by workers in the field subjected to reflected, or scattered, radiation emanating from the patient's body. The multi-layered fabric is so constructed that the amount of re-radiated energy, or fluorescence produced by each layer, is greatly attenuated. Generally, this invention is directed to a material formed of two or more layers of a polymeric or elastomeric film or sheet loaded with different radiation-attenuating metal material.

Method and apparatus for controlling t1 recovery process in magnetic resonance measurements

Radiation damping (RD) is employed to hasten the recovery of longitudinal magnetization after RF excitation and signal readout in a magnetic resonance measurement cycle. A switch driven by the pulse sequence that performs the measurement cycle energizes a feedback RF coil driven by an amplified and phase shifted portion of the received MR signal. The recovery of longitudinal magnetization is thus under direct control of the MR system and enables the reduction of the otherwise inefficient waiting times that are required for natural T1 recovery of the excited spin magnetization. This enables shortened acquisition times, improved sensitivity, better spatial and temporal resolution, and reduction of motion artifacts that result from long acquisition times.

Gas sensor with radiation guide

An optical absorption gas sensor includes a radiation source, detector and a radiation guide. The radiation source and detector are close together and in thermal communication. The radiation guide has a rectangular cross section and curves in a first sense, around an axis parallel to the major dimension of the rectangular cross section, and then in a second opposite sense, and again in the first sense. A relatively long path for radiation is provided in a compact device, without the attenuation of radiation which would occur if the radiation guide did not have a rectangular cross section and curved only around an axis parallel to the major dimension of the rectangular cross section. A reference measurement can be obtained by mounting a reference radiation source behind a translucent measurement radiation source and directing radiation from the reference radiation source through the measurement radiation source. Radiation from a reference radiation source may be directed around the measurement reference source. Measurement and reference signals can be obtained by using a light emitting diode to generate radiation which is detected by a photodiode, in a first operating mode, and driving the photodiode to generate radiation having a different emission spectrum while detecting the resulting radiation using the light emitting diode, in a second operating mode. An optical absorption gas sensor may be manufactured by abutting two or more L-shaped radiation guide portions to form a radiation guide. The radiation guide has an interior surface operable to reflect radiation emitted by the radiation source of the optical absorption gas sensor.

The radiation shield comprises a plurality of overlapped shield members having selectively overlapped openings, movement of one member relative to the other causing the effective intersection defining a radiation-passing area of the shield to vary. According to a disclosed method, after locating a radiation attenuator as described between the satellite and the amplifier, the signal received from the satellite is variably attenuated using the signal attenuator until the signal level of the received radiation is within a range of an associated signal indicator wherein the indicator's response is more linear than it is at higher signal levels. The position of the collector is then adjusted until the indicator output peaks. Finally, the attenuation is reduced or eliminated to permit normal operation of the satellite receiving system.

Test method for wind resistance of transmission towers

The invention provides a test method for wind resistance of transmission towers. A 'mass-elasticity-resistance' model is adopted. A foundation and a basis system are regarded as mass steel blocks on spring and damper supports, and the spring, the damper and the mass steel blocks constitute a dynamic motion system together. The static stiffness of the foundation soil is simulated by the stiffness of the spring, and the radiation damping and material damping of the foundation soil are simulated by the damping of the damper. The stiffness coefficient and damping coefficient of the actual soil aredetermined by doing statistics of the physical properties of the soil and the parameters such as the shear modulus. According to the method, the four independent foundations of a transmission power are combined into a whole foundation, so that the structure is simpler. Before simplification, the four foundations need to be simulated separately. After simplification, only one foundation needs to be simulated. The operation is made simpler, and the workload is saved.
