Record 2 2016-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Conductivity and Superconductivity (Electricity)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A detector that measures the difference in thermal conductivity between two gas streams when a sample (gas mixture) passes through the sample channel.

OBS

[It] is a dual channel detector, requiring a reference flow of pure carrier gas through the reference channel.

OBS

The detector consists of a bridge circuit; the change in resistance in the sample channel during the passage of the sample produces an out-of-balance signal that is the basis of the detection. The detector responds to all components except the carrier gas and it is non-destructive.

OBS

thermal conductivity detector; hot wire detector: terms and definition standardized by ISO in 2014.

DEF

Détecteur qui mesure la différence de conductivité thermique entre deux courants de gaz dont l’un (le mélange de gaz échantillon) passe par la voie d’échantillonnage.

OBS

[Il s'agit d']un détecteur à deux voies dont l’une, dite voie de référence, est réservée au flux de référence du gaz vecteur.

OBS

Le détecteur se compose d’un circuit en pont. La variation de résistance dans le canal d’échantillonnage pendant le passage de l’échantillon produit un déséquilibre du signal qui constitue le point de départ de la détection. Le détecteur, qui est non-destructif, répond à tous les constituants excepté le gaz vecteur.

OBS

détecteur à conductibilité thermique; détecteur à filament chaud : termes et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 2014.

OBS

... Winefordner et al. described a special, more sensitive cell based on changes in dielectric constant and constructed to allow gas flow between the plates of a capacitor which is a part of the tank circuit of a 70-Mc/sec Clapp oscillator, the output of which is beat against that of a reference oscillator. With the difference frequency between oscillators adjusted to zero with pure carrier gas flowing through the detector, the presence of a foreign vapor in the cell will produce a different frequency which is linearly related to the amount of material introduced through an injection port in the carrier gas stream and inversely proportional to the absolute temperature for a given component at a constant density or concentration in the cell and for a particular operating frequency.

Record 5 2009-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
CONT

High-power modulation. In an AM transmitter amplitude modulation of the carrier by introducing the modulating signal into the anode circuit of the final amplifying stage. The power of the modulating signal thus approximates to that at the transmitter output.

CONT

Modulation is also identified as to level. High level modulation occurs when the modulating voltage is applied to the collector/plate circuit of the final power amplifier. With high level modulation, the final stage is operated class C and the preceding stages are also operated class C. The overall efficiency of such a transmitter is very high. A disadvantage of high level modulation is that comparatively high audio power is needed and several stages of voltage and power amplification may be required in the speech amplifier and modulator circuits.

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Thermionic or Electron Impact Detector. In 1957, Ryce and Bryce described a sensitive ionization gauge based on the ionization potentials of vapors. It comprised a filament, a grid, and a plate. The potential difference between the filament and grid accelerated electrons which may ionize any gas in their path. If the grid potential is maintained at a level insufficient to ionize the helium carrier gas... no current flows in the plate circuit. If a potential difference of 18 V is maintained between the filament and the grid, compounds of lower ionization potential in the helium will be ionized and the positive ions produced will yield a cathode current, the current noted being a measure of the ion concentration. Into the modified ionizing chamber, operated at reduced pressure, a small fraction of the column effluent gas stream(less than 0. 5%) was allowed to flow into the gauge through a controlled leak. Over a 0. 02-l. 5 mm Hg pressure range, the sensitivity was approximately proportional to the pressure, and sensitivities in the range of 10[ minus superscript 12] mole were claimed.

DEF

a compact dial gauge of limited accuracy for measuring differential pressures. The active element is a twisted bourdon tube with a flat magnetic armature attached which rotates when pressure is applied, thus changing the air gap between it and the sensing circuit, changing the inductance. The resultant signal is used to modulate a carrier voltage.

manomètre compact, à cadran à degré de précision limité, servant à mesurer les pressions différentielles. L'élément actif est un tube de Bourdon cintré dont une extrémité de section aplatie est fixée à une source de pression. Lorsque la pression est appliquée, l'extrémité libre tend à se rapprocher d'une section circulaire, ce qui réduit l'espace d'air entre l'extrémité et le circuit senseur, modifiant ainsi l'inductance; le signal résultant est utilisé pour modifier une tension porteuse.
