The center post can also be divided into portions with a combined length less than the length of the center aperture to form an air gap within the center aperture.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for accurately estimating the absolute value of surface resistances and penetration depths of metallic films and bulk samples. The apparatus carries out measurements using two nominally identical samples with flat sample surfaces which are brought together with a thin dielectric separation of variable thickness sandwiched between the samples in order to form a two-conductor parallel plate transmission line resonator which carries an electromagnetic wave. A liquid or gas of unknown dielectric properties fills the dielectric spacer. A resonant condition of the microwave signal is established and the resonant frequency and the quality factor Q are measured while the spacing between the sample plates is varied. The variation of the resonant frequency and Q with spacer thickness is then analyzed to yield absolute values of the sample surface resistance and penetration depth which are then further used for determination of absolute complex conductivity and surface impedance of the samples.

Abstract: A road vehicle sensor provides an output signal having a magnitude which varies with time through a plurality of values as a vehicle passes the sensor. Signal processing apparatus monitors the timing of sensor signals generated from sensors in adjacent lanes of a highway and provides an indication when such sensor signals could correspond to a double count with a single vehicle being detected by both sensors. Then, the geometric mean of the amplitudes of the sensor signals from the sensors in adjacent lanes is calculated and is used to indicate a double count if the geometric mean is below a threshold value. Signal processing arrangements are also described to detect tailgating vehicles which may be simultaneously detected by a sensor, and for determining the length of slow moving or stationary traffic.

Furthermore, according to another embodiments the shunt is in series with the load and the free-wheeling circuit is arranged in parallel to the series connection of load and shunt.

A microscopic electrical property of this material is altered by an external condition, and that alteration, in turn, affects the behavior of the resonator in a consistent and predictable manner.

Abstract: A method of determining a response characteristic of a microwave device includes coupling a microwave resonator to the device, loading the resonator with microwave radiation, monitoring the time decay of power from the resonator, and comparing the monitored time decay with a known characteristic of the time decay of radiation in the microwave resonator when loaded with radiation.

Abstract: An electronic resonator is employed for the on-line nondestructive measurement of microstructure, as defined by the diameter of grains of the type found in ferritic steel alloys during high rate formation processes. The quality factor (Q) of an inductive-capacitive (LC) tank circuit is determined to obtain a measure of energy dissipated in a steel alloy sample inductively coupled to it. Dissipative energy in the sample results from two sources, hysteresis and eddy currents. Eddy current loss is relatively microstructure insensitive and is mainly related to chemical composition and temperature while hysteresis loss is determined by microstructural factors. If microstructural variables other than grain size, and the factors determining eddy current loss are held constant, grain size becomes the dominant factor in differential energy loss with grain size being inversely related to hysteresis loss.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for non-destructively monitoring the thickness and uniformity of electrically conductive coatings (12) that have been deposited upon optical waveguide fibers (10). The monitoring may be performed while coated fiber (22) is at rest or while it is in motion. Physical contact with fiber (22) is not required. Monitoring is accomplished by feeding coated fibers (22) through an inductive coil (24) while simultaneously measuring an electrical value that is dependent upon the electrical resistance of conductive coating (10) then passing through inductive coil (24). The electrical value measured for a given section of coated fiber (22) becomes indicative of the coating thickness and uniformity of the coating about optical waveguide fiber (10) by correlating the electrical value measured with previously measured electrical values generated by coated fibers having coatings of known thicknesses and having no bald spots or other non-uniformities.

Abstract: An electric coil to be tested for interturn and/or interlayer faults is coupled into a series resonant circuit. A measurement of the quality-factor (Q-factor) is carried out by measuring the overshoot voltage in circuit resonance. Through the selection of a suitable capacitance in the series resonant circuit, the resonant frequency can be placed in a range in which the quality-factor of the coil attains its maximum value. The coil to be tested is therefore a component of a series resonant circuit. The measuring system for determining the quality-factor of the coil is low capacitively coupled into the resonant circuit. Because the interturn resistance of the test coil must be measured in any event, since this value is also obtained during Q-factor measurement, the necessary operating and measuring periods can be optimized.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measurement of ohmic loss and surface resistivity is provided with a straight lumen waveguide with at least one opening at one end. Diffraction of radiation introduced to the lumen at one end of the tube provides feedback to establish resonances within the tube. Using the "whispering gallery" resonant modes maximizes the total ohmic loss and thereby enhances sensitivity of resistivity measurements. The angle at which resonant radiation exits the lumen is a function of the mode and size of the operative. Thus, preferred spatial detection allows enhancement of the device signal while discriminating against undesired modes. Selection of modes allows high frequency measurements, into the tetraherz range, to be made without disabling restrictions in the device dimensions, spatial input/output coupling or ohmic loss depending on alignment for analysis of, for example, high temperature superconductors.
