Abstract: Explosives concealed within electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, are detected using NQR spectroscopy. For example, a suspect electronic device can be placed inside a NQR scanner and be subject to interrogation electromagnetic radiation at varying frequencies. The electronic device is exposed to interrogation electromagnetic radiation at frequencies that correspond to chemical components of various explosives. In the event that an explosive chemical component is present inside the electronic device, irradiating the electronic device with interrogation electromagnetic radiation at the specific NQR frequency of that explosive chemical component will cause the explosive chemical component to emit feedback electromagnetic radiation at that frequency. Consequently, the NQR scanner can measure the feedback electromagnetic radiation and determine that the frequency of the feedback electromagnetic radiation indicates the presence of the explosive chemical component inside the electronic device.

Abstract: A device and system for generating a broadband excitation signal and corresponding excitation field to a substance under test in an NMR system is presented. The excitation signal is generated, according to a broadband transmitter, to a coil in the NMR system. A corresponding broadband receiver is also presented that acquires a response signal resulting from a response field emanating from the substance under test. Neither the transmitter nor the receiver require that the frequency of operation be determined according to a particular configuration of electrical devices to determine a resonance characteristic that tunes to a particular operational frequency. Rather, the operational frequency is determined according to control and driver devices triggered according to command and control signals in the case of the transmitter, and according to reactive elements, that are not configured as a tuned circuit, in the case of the receiver.

Abstract: High precision elemental concentration determination is achieved using a nuclear magnetic resonance device that can continuously monitor samples of a source fluid in the field and in the refinery plant while the source fluid is refined into a desired product fluid.
