No. of bitstreams: 0 / Uma série de testes foi aplicada a medidores portáteis de radiação ionizante para altas taxas de kerma no ar, especificamente medidores do tipo teletector. Estes detectores são do tipo Geiger Müller e são utilizados em rotinas de proteção radiológica em aceleradores, reatores, fontes de alta atividade e ainda em situações de emergência no Brasil, assim como em outros países. Também são encaminhados para calibração no Instituto de Pesquisa Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN) e foram analisados para estabelecer parâmetros de comportamento destes detectores, especificando as suas sensibilidades e suas características operacionais. Foram realizados testes de variação da leitura dos equipamentos com a tensão da bateria, efeito de geotropismo, dependência energética, dependência angular. Com este testes foi possível determinar as características mais comuns e importantes destes equipamentos permitindo a elaboração de um programa de controle de qualidade. Foram calibrados 17 teletectors durante este trabalho e destes, 10 foram testados. Os testes foram realizados para caracterizar o sis tema gama de irradiação (dosimetria de feixe de radiação) que possui maior atividade e permite testes em medidores do tipo teletectors em uma maior faixa de medição. Desse modo foi feito o aperfeiçoamento do programa de controle de qualidade de medidores portáteis de radiação ionizante para altas taxas de kerma no ar no LCI, oque beneficiou os usuários deste tipo de equipamento, e ainda com medições e calibrações mais consistentes e com melhor controle de qualidade dos processos. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Made available in DSpace on 2017-11-23T10:55:22Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 / O desempenho de uma prática segura e eficiente de um serviço de medicina nuclear depende, entre outros fatores, de um programa de controle de qualidade completo, principalmente em se tratando dos instrumentos medidores de atividade dos radionuclídeos, os ativímetros. Um programa de controle de qualidade completo deve incluir a calibração de todos os instrumentos de medição utilizados no procedimento. No entanto, no Brasil, a atual norma que estabelece os requisitos de proteção radiológica para serviços de medicina nuclear (SMN), não inclui, ainda, a calibração do ativímetro. Considerando que estes instrumentos, por diversas razões, são de difícil remoção para envio a um serviço de calibração, o propósito deste trabalho foi desenvolver uma metodologia de calibração de medidores de atividades que possa ser aplicada \"in situ\", para o principal radiofármaco utilizado atualmente, o 99mTc. Foram definidos os parâmetros de influência que devem ser levados em conta durante a calibração, assim como uma logística de transporte dos radiofármacos. Um programa de controle de qualidade foi aplicado aos ativímetros do Laboratório de Calibração de Instrumento (LCI). Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidas três metodologias diferentes de calibração, considerando a logística disponível e também a origem da fonte de referência. Na primeira metodologia poderá ser aplicada nos casos em que o LCI envia uma fonte de referência ao SMN. Na segunda o SMN envia uma fonte previamente medida ao LCI que determinará sua atividade real. A terceira metodologia foi aplicada para calibração dos ativímetros pertencentes ao setor de produção de radiofármacos do IPEN. Neste caso a fonte de referência foi enviada ao LCI após uma medição prévia pelo setor de produção. Foi possível aplicar as metodologias em alguns instrumentos pertencentes a clínicas e ao setor de produção. Em todos eles foram encontrados coeficientes de calibração diferentes entre si. A maior variação encontrada foi de 5%, indicando que a medição com este ativímetro está menor em 5% do que é necessário aplicar no paciente. Verificou-se que a troca de recipientes deixa um resíduo que não tem sido considerado nas medições clínicas, podendo acrescentar uma diferença de até 3% nas medições. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Mathematical And Numerical Studies On The Inverse Problems Associated With Propagation Of Field Correlation Through A Scattering ObjectVarma, Hari M 02 1900 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis discusses the inverse problem associated with the propagation of field autocorrelation of light through a highly scattering object like tissue. In the first part of the thesis we consider the mathematical issues involved in inverting boundary measurements made from diffuse propagation of light through highly scattering objects for their optical and mechanical properties. We present the convergence analysis of the Gauss-Newton algorithm for the recovery of object properties applicable for both diffuse correlation tomography (DCT) and diffuse optical tomography (DOT). En route to this, we establish the existence of solution and Frechet differentiability of the forward propagation equation. The two cases of the delta source and the Gaussian source illuminations are considered separately and the smoothness of solution of the forward equation in these cases is established. Considering DCT as an example, we establish the feasibility of recovering the particle diffusion coefficient (DB ) through minimizing the data-model mismatch of the field autocorrelation at the boundary using the Gauss-Newton algorithm. Some numerical examples validating the theoretical results are also presented. In the second part of the thesis, we reconstruct optical absorption coefficient, µa, and particle diffusion coefficient, DB , from simulated measurements which are integrals of a quantity computed from the measured intensity and intensity autocorrelation g2(τ ) at the boundary. We also recovered the mean square displacement (MSD) distribution of particles in an inhomogeneous object from the sampled g2(τ ) measured on the boundary. From the MSD, we compute the storage and loss moduli distributions in the object. We have devised computationally easy methods to construct the sensitivity matrices which are used in the iterative reconstruction algorithms for recovering these parameters from these measurements. The results of reconstruction of inhomogeneities in µa, DB , MSD and the visco-elastic parameters, which are presented, show forth reasonably good positional and quantitative accuracy. Finally we introduce a self regularized pseudo-dynamic scheme to solve the above inverse problem, which has certain advantages over the usual minimization method employing a variant of the Newton algorithm. The computational difficulties involved in the inversion of ill-conditioned matrices arising in the nonlinear inverse DCT problem are avoided by introducing artificial dynamics and considering the solution to be the steady-state response (if it exists) of the artificially evolving dynamical system, represented by ordinary differential equations (ODE) in pseudo-time. We show that the asymptotic solution obtained through the pseudo-time marching converges to the optimal solution which minimizes a mean-square error functional, provided the Hessian of the forward equation is positive definite in the neighborhood of this optimal solution. The superior noise tolerance and regularization-insensitive nature of pseudo-dynamic strategy are proven through numerical simulations in the context of DCT.

Konceptutveckling - noggrann inmätning av stansknivar : Concept development - accurate measurement of punch knivesJohansson, Erik January 2023 (has links)
TePe Munhygienprodukter AB paketerar en stor andel av sina produkter (interdentalborstar) i blisterförpackningar. Uppdragsgivaren (TePe) ser möjligheten att förbättra en knivbytesprocess som i nuläget påverkar deras produktion av förpackningar negativt, dessutom lever inte processen upp till företagets värdekedja gällande kvalitet, effektivitet och goda arbetsförhållanden.Studien inleds med informationsinsamling rörande knivbytesprocessen, vidare genereras samt utvärderas möjliga konceptlösningar med syfte att uppnå en högre precision vid inmätning av stansknivar, konceptlösningar som skulle göra processen både snabbare och säkrare. Konceptutvecklingsprocessen mynnar ut i ett konceptuellt mätverktyg som konstrueras och simuleras i CAD-programmet Solidworks (Computer aided design). Slutligen tas tillverkningsunderlag fram i form av ritningar. Dessa ritningar kontrolleras av handledaren på TePe för att säkerställa att kraven och önskemålen som ställs på mätverktyget teoretiskt uppfylls.Rekommendationer vid fortsatt arbete är omkonstruktioner av de resterande stansknivspaketenpå TePe, vilka inte undersökts i denna studie, detta för att medge infästning av mätverktyget i även dessa stansknivspaket. När mätverktyget har tillverkats kan funktionstest, dokumentation och utbildning av berörd personal utföras. Utbildningen och dokumentationen är viktig för att uppnå en enhetlig användning av mätverktyget. Syftet med ett enhetligt bruk är att minimera risken för felanvändning som i sin tur kan leda till avvikande mätresultat. / TePe Munhygienprodukter AB packages a large proportion of their products (interdental brushes) in blister packs. The client (TePe) sees the opportunity to improve a knife replacement process that currently affects their production of packaging negatively, in addition, the process does not live up to the company's value chain in terms of quality, efficiency and good working conditions.The study begins with information gathering regarding the knife replacement process, further possible concept solutions are generated and evaluated with the aim of achieving a higher precision when measuring punch knives, concept solutions that would make the process both faster and safer. The concept development process culminates in a conceptual measurement tool that is constructed and simulated in the CAD program Solidworks (Computer aided design). Finally, manufacturing documents are produced in the form of drawings. Thesedrawings are controlled by the supervisor at TePe to ensure that the requirements and wishes set for the measuring tool are theoretically fulfilled.Recommendations for further work are reconstructions of the remaining punch knife packages on TePe, which were not investigated in this study, this to allow attachment of the measuring tool in these punch knife packages as well. Once the measuring tool has been manufactured, functional testing, documentation and training of affected personnel can be carried out. The training and documentation is important to achieve uniform use of the measuring tool. The purpose of uniform use is to minimize the risk of incorrect use, which in turn can lead to deviating measurement results

A study of thermographic phosphor thermometry in an operating turbofan engineAndersen, Ted Thanning 13 February 2009 (has links)
A new method of remote thermometry utilizing the temperature dependent optical properties of thermographic phosphors was evaluated for use in measuring high-pressure turbine blade metal temperatures in an operating turbofan engine test rig. Thermographic phosphors, ceramics doped with a rare earth metal, were bonded to the turbine blades. These phosphors exhibit fluorescence when optically excited by a laser, and both the intensity and the rate of decay of the fluorescence are temperature dependent An optical fiber probe was used to carry the excitation laser light to the blade surface, and to receive the resulting fluorescence. The blades rotated at speeds up to 30,000 rpm. Synchronization was achieved by a digital pattern recognition circuit, capable of locating a specific blade with each revolution. The investigation concentrated on thennographic phosphor characteristics, phosphor binding methods, and probe optical efficiency. Although poor performance of the selected phosphor binding methods impeded the location of the fluorescence signal in the operating gas turbine engine, many operating characteristics of the technique were determined, and the new measurement technique was established as a promising candidate for further research in the temperature measurement of rotating surfaces inside a turbine engine. / Master of Science

Simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature using liquid core optical fiber sensorsDe Vries, Marten J. 04 March 2009 (has links)
A liquid core fiber sensor can be used to sense both strain and temperature simultaneously. This liquid core fiber sensor is comprised of a hollow core optical fiber filled with a liquid of a known index of refraction which is slightly higher than that of the silica tube which acts as the cladding. The refractive index fluid is chosen such that the variation of its refractive index with strain and temperature is well defined and linear in the desired range of operation. The core of the sensing fiber contains a fluid which has a thermo-optic coefficient much larger in magnitude (-4.0x10⁻⁴/°C) than that of the silica cladding. This causes the fiber to be more sensitive to temperature changes than all-silica fibers. Both transmitted optical signal intensity and time-of-flight depend strongly on applied strain and temperature. Furthermore, the relative difference between the core and cladding refractive indices changes as a function of both parameters due to the inherently different material types used in the fiber construction. This results in critical strain and temperature regimes within which the refractive index difference is very small, and sensitivity is optimized. Testing of prototype sensors demonstrates these characteristics. A 0.47 m long liquid core fiber containing a liquid with a room temperature refractive index of 1.492 was analyzed. Both time- and intensity-domain behaviors around the device's critical temperature (95°C) confirm theoretical expectations. Simultaneous strain and temperature measurements were performed between 95 °C and 105 °C. Methods for multiplexing liquid core fibers for increasing the range of temperatures that can be monitored were also investigated as well as using those liquid core fibers for cooling purposes. / Master of Science
