摘要： Circuitry and program code adapted for carrying out an associated technique for characterizing the response of one or more magnetoelastic sensor elements during exposure to an excitation field generated by an interrogation coil: including: (a) measuring a total sensor signal from the coil with the sensor element positioned within the excitation field within a spacing created by a winding of the coil; and (b) automatically determining: (i) a total measured impedance spectrum from said total sensor signal so measured, and (ii) a plurality of magnitude values representing the real part of a reconstructed impedance spectrum for the sensor element. The reconstructed impedance spectrum for the sensor element, having been calculated by subtracting an impedance generally attributable to the coil during the time an AC excitation signal is provided, from the total measured impedance. Subtraction of coil impedance from total complex impedance is accomplished by separate subtraction of the real part and of the imaginary part, represented as follows Re[Zs(ω)]=Re[Zt(ω)]−Re[Zc(ω)] Equation (12) and Im[Zs(ω)]=Im[Zt(ω)]−Im[Zc(ω)] Equation (13) where subscript “t” indicates total complex impedance, “s” indicates sensor element impedance, and “c” indicates coil impedance.

摘要： A network of remote sensing node assemblies, a first and second of which each has a sensor element, as well as associated technique and program code for transmitting information collected about a liquid environment. The network provides the capability of sensing the liquid to collect a wide variety of types of information/data about the liquid and any surrounding environments, and transmitting from the originating node assembly to a different node within acoustic transmission range, and then transmitting further to a third node assembly where the information may be processed and communicated to a user, or further transmitted by way of suitable medium, preferably as electromagnetic signals, to a host location for processing into a compilation of data. Each of at least two sensing node assemblies has at least one sensor element adapted for operation while immersed within the liquid, a source of power, and a transducer for receiving acoustic waves/signals transmitted from another node assembly. The transducer is adapted for emitting sensor information collected by one or more sensor element(s) at that node, as well as acting as a pass-through node for information collected at other nodes. A third node assembly of the network is adapted for receiving and processing sensor information acoustically transmitted from other nodes. The third node can have its own processor unit(s) and means for transmitting sensor information to a remote host, whether originating at the third node (if so equipped) or another node assembly.

In other aspects of the invention, the focus is on an apparatus and technique for determining a value for of stress condition of a solid analyte and for determining a value for corrosion, using the relative maximum harmonic amplitude values identified.

摘要： Circuitry adapted for carrying out associated techniques for: (a) calculating a damping factor, e.g., a damping ratio represented by ζ, or a quality factor Q, where ζ≈1/2Q, for a transient signal received, having been emitted from a resonator-type sensor element; (b) determining amplitude, A, of the transient signal; or (c) generating a frequency response dataset of interrelated points for the transient signal. A threshold comparison circuit is included for converting the transient signal received into a first and second digital waveform; the first digital waveform represents cycle crossings of the transient signal associated with a first threshold value, and the second digital waveform represents cycle crossings of the transient signal associated with a second threshold value. The transient signal may be converted, likewise, into third, and so on, digital waveforms, whereby the third digital waveform represents cycle crossings of the transient signal associated with a third threshold value. Respective digital counters are included, each of which is adapted for determining a total number of cycles of the first, second, third, and so on, digital waveform. A processing unit of suitable speed and capacity is employed for the calculating of the damping factor, determining an amplitude, and/or generating a frequency response dataset.

摘要： A resonant antenna suitable for transmission and for reception over a broad range of frequencies combines electric and magnetic multipoles generated by linear and loop elements respectively. The minimum requirement is one electric and one magnetic dipole and one electric and magnetic quadrupole. The electric elements are driven in time quadrature with the magnetic elements. The elements of the minimum requirement lie in the same plane and along the same axis. The minimum number of elements for a free standing antenna is three loops and three dipoles. Maximum transmission and reception occur only in the same direction along the axis. The size of the antenna is reduced by introducing a ground conductor or plane along the antenna axis and eliminating the half elements on one side thereof and is further reduced by introducing a second ground plane normal to the first at the midpoint of its length and eliminating the quarter elements on one side.

摘要： A pressure sensing apparatus for operative arrangement within an environment, having: a sensor comprising a hermetically-sealed receptacle, at least one side of which has an flexible membrane to which a magnetically hard element is attached. Enclosed within the receptacle is a magnetostrictive element that vibrates in response to a time-varying magnetic field. Also included is a receiver to measure a plurality of successive values for magneto-elastic emission intensity of the sensor taken over an operating range of successive interrogation frequencies to identify a resonant frequency value for the sensor. Additional features include: (a) the magnetically hard element may be adhered to an inner or outer side of, or embedded within, the membrane; (b) the magnetostrictive element can include one or more of a variety of different pre-formed, hardened regions; (c) the magneto-elastic emission may be a primarily acoustic or electromagnetic emission; and (d) in the event the time-varying magnetic field is emitted as a single pulse or series of pulses, the receiver unit can detect a transitory time-response of the emission intensity of each pulse (detected after a threshold amplitude value for the transitory time-response is observed). A Fourier transform of the time-response can yield results in the frequency domain. Also, an associated method of sensing pressure of an environment is included that uses a sensor having a magnetostrictive element to identify a magneto-elastic resonant frequency value therefore. Using the magneto-elastic resonant frequency value identified, a value for the pressure of the environment can be identified.
