Abstract: A Thermal Luminescence Water Monitor system and method for real-time remote sensing and identification of chemical and biological materials (CBMs) in a liquid source, comprising an irradiation component having a microwave radiation source tuned to water's vibration-rotation exciting energy, a glass cell for holding a liquid sample contained within a sealed chamber for its irradiation and concomitant liberation of thermal luminescence, a spectrometer analysis component for collecting and processing thermal luminescence emissions, a neural network component for filtering thermal luminescence difference-spectra components and pattern recognition of predetermined CBMs to determine their presence in the liquid source.

Abstract: A sampling arm coupler device comprises a coupler comprising a rectangular tructure or bar, having a cylindrically hollow bore therethrough. The bar has internal threading along the hollowv bore, and internally threaded holes through opposite sides of the bar perpendicular to the hollow bore. The holes are aligned along the bar so as to permit passage of a bolt therethrough. Additionally, the sampling arm coupler device has a lever arm structure having one insert end comprising a half cylinder portion with external threading and a flat longitudinal sure opposite the external threading. The external threading of the half cylinder is capable of mating with the internal threading of the bore whereby the half cylinder portion and the flat longitudinal surface portion inserts and screws into one end of the bar, wherein the flat longitudinal surface portion is positioned as to allow at least one bolt to be inserted through the bar holes perpendicular to the bore along the flat longitudinal surface portion.
