  • Method for monitoring the state of microcrystalline change of solid materials
    Patent number: 6166551
    Abstract: A process for monitoring the state of microcrystalline change of solid materials, by observing the frequency of a load-pull oscillator which is RF-coupled to the material under test (preferably by a simple single-ended RF probe). Areas where this technique is of particular interest are in monitoring the curing of shaped aerodynamic composite materials, and in monitoring the curing of concrete and cement compositions.
