Improvements of the data link dependencies of fiber optic sensor systems

The precision of intensity modulated fiber optic sensor systems mainly is restricted by the attenuation characteristics of the analog fiber optical data link. Special encoding and referencing schemes are used to overcome this data link dependence. In this paper encoding and referencing principles for optical sensors are outlined and compared. Especially the two wavelengths referencing and the optical delay line processing techniques are discussed in more detail and results are presented.     

Application of a double insulated probe for the investigation of charged-particle beams in plasmas

It is shown that the existence of a current in the external circuit of a double insulated probe without electrical bias between its electrodes is evidence of the presence of a stream (beam) of charged particles in a plasma. The species of particles forming a beam in a plasma, the direction and divergence of the beam, and information on the distribution of the current density over the beam cross section in the plasma can be obtained by determining the direction and strength of the current in the external circuit of the probe as it is positioned at various sites in the investigated system.

Thermal decomposition of the composite hydrotalcites of iowaite and woodallite

The thermal stability and thermal decomposition pathways for synthesized composite iowaite/woodallite have been determined using thermogravimetry analysis in conjunction with evolved gas mass spectrometry. Dehydration of the hydrotalcites occurred over a range of 56–70°C. The first dehydroxylation step occurred at around 255°C and, with the substitution of more iron(III) for chromium(III) this temperature increased to an upper limit of 312°C. This trend was observed throughout all decomposition steps. The release of carbonate ions as carbon dioxide gas initialised at just above 300°C and was always accompanied by loss of hydroxyl units as water molecules. The initial loss of the anion in this case the chloride ion was consistently observed to occur at about 450°C with final traces evolved at 535 to 780°C depending of the Fe:Cr ratio and was detected as HCl (m/z=36). Thus for this to occur, hydroxyl units must have been retained in the structure at temperatures upwards of 750°C. Experimentally it was found difficult to keep CO₂ from reacting with the compounds and in this way the synthesized iowaite-woodallite series somewhat resembled the natural minerals.     

Comparison of different extraction techniques for the determination of polychlorinated organic compounds in sediment

The performance of various enhanced extraction techniques, such as accelerated solvent extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic extraction and fluidized-bed extraction for the determination of polychlorinated organic compounds in dry sediment was investigated in two laboratories. The results of the two laboratories were in good agreement. The extraction yields from the batch extraction methods were lower than those from the dynamic techniques. Accelerated solvent extraction, especially, exhibited higher extraction efficiency than the standard procedure, Soxhlet extraction, whereas the results of fluidized-bed extraction were comparable.

Occurrence of chain folding in micelles : A C NMR relaxation and photophysical study

¹³CT₁ relaxation times for the different carbons of the sodium dodecyl sulphate chain in micellar systems have been measured, using Gd³⁺ as a paramagnetic relaxation reagent. The fluorescence decay of ω-(-naphthyl) dodecanoic acid, solubflized in the sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles was obtained in the presence of various amounts of counterion quencher Both series of experiments point to the occurrence of chain folding and to the fact that the terminal group can approach the Stern region of the micelle.     

Organische Schwefelverbindungen—IV: Elektronenstossinduzierte Redoxreaktion von ortho-Nitrothiobenzoesäure-S-p-tolylester

The electron-impact fragmentation of S-p-tolylester of nitrothiobenzoic acid leads to a previously unknown rearrangement in the case of the ortho compound. This consists of an intra molecular redoxreaction with oxygen transfer from the o-nitro group onto the sulphur of the thiol ester group. The position of the nitro group is not only an essential influence on the fragmentation pattern, but also of dramatic importance in determining the lifetime of the molecular ion.
