Photoionization detector... consists of a chamber into which gases suitable for the discharge such as helium, argon, nitrogen, or hydrogen are introduced through [a] tube which serves as the cathode for the discharge. The ultraviolet radiation or glow discharge in the hollow cathode, maintained by a small current between the cathode and discharge anode, is sufficiently energetic to ionize components in the carrier gas effluent entering through the tube, the collecting electrode(anode) for the ions liberated within the chamber enclosed by the second cathode. 5, record 7, English, - photoionization%20detector

Une version commerciale de ce détecteur est apparue récemment sur le marché, il est composé d'une lampe UV [détecteur à photoionisation] scellée qui émet un rayonnement à 121,6nm (10,2 eV) à travers une fenêtre en fluorure de magnésium. Si le soluté passant dans ce détecteur a un potentiel d'ionisation inférieur à 10,2eV, il s'ionise en absorbant un photon. Les ions issus de cette photoionisation sont collectés en appliquant un potentiel positif sur une des électrodes. Le courant qui en résulte est amplifié par un électromètre identique à celui utilisé avec un détecteur à ionisation de flamme. 1, record 7, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20%C3%A0%20photoionisation

Semiconductive Thin Film Detector. Using the known principle that the adsorption and desorption of gases cause a change in electrical conductivity of semiconductors, Seiyama et al. developed a new chromatographic detector for gaseous components.... The current, depending upon the resistance of the film, is converted to voltage by the variable resistance, which is fed without amplification to a recorder. Resistance also adjusts the input voltage of the recorder at desired sensitivity. Using zinc oxide as an example of a typical film material, the conductivity of its film maintains a fixed value when the nitrogen carrier gas is passed at a constant flow rate throught the borosilicate glass tube. When a small amount of another gas or vapor is added to the carrier gas, its conductivity is changed. 1, record 8, English, - semiconductive%20thin%20film%20detector

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. 1, record 10, English, - magnahelic%20gauge

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. 1, record 10, French, - manom%C3%A8tre%20diff%C3%A9rentiel
