  • Patent number: 8520206
    Abstract: A method for quantitatively determining the viscoelastic properties of a complex medium with suspended particles in suspension, which involves: characterizing the medium opacity by measuring the medium's transport length l*; introducing a sample of the medium into a flask; placing the flask in a thermostatically-controlled measuring chamber; projecting a coherent light beam on the sample and detecting scattered light as a series of sequenced images; analyzing the movement of particles based on time by calculating the inter-image distance d2 and the ratio d2/d2max; and establishing an analytical expression E putting into direct relationship, the measured l*, the ratio d2/d2max and the mean square displacement MSD for the purpose of calculating the medium's viscous and elastic moduli.

  • Patent number: 7312868
    Abstract: A method for measuring a light flux backscattered by a dispersed medium located on one first side of a wall, by interaction with a plurality of light rays emitted from the second opposite side of the wall where the dispersed medium is located and towards the latter, the plurality of light rays being adapted to pass through the wall and being backscattered at least partly by the dispersed medium towards reception elements arranged on the second side of the wall. The method includes: emitting the plurality of light rays towards the dispersed medium and through the wall so as to form a backscattering spot having a central disc whose center corresponds to the luminous barycenter of the spot and whose radius is equal to four times the maximum free travel path (1*max) of the dispersed medium.
