Electronic pocket dosimeter.... Small, light-weight portable radiation measurement apparatus provides accurate quantitative measurement of radiation dosage and dosage rates. Such apparatus, referred to as a dosimeter, is housed in a ruggedized housing that is only about 1/2 the volume of a package of cigarettes, may easily be clipped to clothing or carried in a shirt pocket, and is powered by a conventional alkaline AA-sized battery. Included in the housing are a geiger tube for detecting radiation, a high voltage power supply for providing power to the geiger tube, a counting circuit for counting geiger pulses generated by the geiger tube, a microprocessor circuit for processing the geiger pulses in accordance with a prescribed program to determine the dose or dosage rate to which the geiger tube has been exposed, and a digital display that displays the dosage rates thus determined. 2, record 2, English, - alarm%20pocket%20dosimeter

New digital photoelectric correlator... A simple electronic correlator for two-time photoelectric correlation measurements has been developed. It functions by registering the distribution of time intervals between pairs of photoelectric pulses. Its basic elements are a clock that is started by the first pulse and is used to digitize the time intervals, a pair of fast counters for counting subsequent pulses, and a set of data registers. The pulses are directed to one or the other counter alternately at regular clock intervals. 2, record 5, English, - photoelectric%20correlator
