  • Patent number: 5099127
    Abstract: A portable intensitometer including a radioactive radiation detector, an operation processing device for digitally processing the output signal of the radioactive radiation detector, and a device which produces a processed result of the operation processing device, wherein the improvement further includes a device for storing the data of exposure history and exposure control values of an individual person, and an interface which is connected to the storage device and to said operation processing device to input or output the data relative to an external equipment. The operation processing device carries out exposure control calculation for an individual person relying upon the output signals from the radioactive radiation detector and upon the read signals from the storage device. Therefore, the daily control, weekly control and monthly control are carried out in real time for each of the individual persons, to realize perfect exposure control for the individual persons.

  • Patent number: 4962315
    Abstract: A method of and apparatus for measuring radioactivity, which determines energy spectra of radiation rays which are detected by a radiation sensor through a collimator arranged in front of a radiation detector, calculates a spectrum index on the basis of an intensity of scattered rays and an intensity of unscattered rays among the radiation rays determined by distribution of the energy spectra, calculates a density of the object to be measured or a value relating to the density of the density of the object to be measured on the basis of the spectrum index, and meters the radioactivity of the object to be measured on the basis of the value relating to the density and the intensity of the unscattered rays by one measuring step for every cross-section of the object to be measured.

  • Patent number: 4777367
    Abstract: A .gamma. ray emitted from a reference radioactive ray source is radiated from outside to a solid radioactive waste. The radioactive intensity of the .gamma. ray emitted from the solid radioactive waste is measured during the radiation of the .gamma. ray. The radioactive intensity to be measured is discriminated into the first radiation intensity based on the reference radioactive ray source and the second radiation intensity based on the radioactive nuclide of the solid radioactive waste. A radiation absorption coefficient of the solid radioactive waste is determined based on the first radiation intensity. The distribution of radioactivity of the solid radioactive waste is determined based on the radiation absorption coefficient and the second radiation intensity.

  • Patent number: 4738536
    Abstract: A method for analyzing impurities in liquid and an apparatus therefor are disclosed, which are adapted to classify impurities contained in various liquids to be measured into soluble substance, insoluble substance and impurities in the form of bubbles and to measure their concentration separately; especially the impurities in liquid are analyzed by the method such that photoacoustic signals obtained by irradiating a liquid to be measured with intensity-modulated light are measured; the correlation between the modulation frequency of the intensity-modulated light (light modulation frequency) and the phase of the intensity-modulated light, with which the liquid to be measured is irradiated, as well as that of their photoacoustic signals are obtained; and impurities in the liquid to be measured are detected, while classifying them into soluble and insoluble ones and those in the form of bubbles on the basis of the information thus obtained; and the apparatus comprises a light source, at least one light modulator
