Abstract: Monitoring fluid flow of high temperature materials is required across a wide range of applications. A device for performing flow measurements of high temperature materials includes a resonant chamber having at least one inner surface forming a hollow resonant cavity. A deformable membrane has a first side forming a wall of the hollow resonant cavity, and a second side in contact with an external environment in which the resonant chamber is disposed. A waveguide is physically coupled to the resonant cavity, with the waveguide configured to provide to the resonant chamber a band of wavelengths of radiation.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for transmitting a signal. The signal uses at least one metallic transmission medium to which at least a pair of transducers is attached. Each transducer contains an interface and connection to an external signal capable of sending and receiving a signal. Each transducer converts the external signal to an ultrasonic version to be sent over the medium and also converts a received ultrasonic version back to an external signal.

Abstract: A millimeter wave measurement system has been developed for remote detection of airborne nuclear radiation, based on electromagnetic scattering from radiation-induced ionization in air. Specifically, methods of monitoring radiation-induced ionization of air have been investigated, and the ionized air has been identified as a source of millimeter wave radar reflection, which can be utilized to determine the size and strength of a radiation source.
