MAGNETIC-INDUCTIVE FLOW METER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MAGNETIC-INDUCTIVE FLOW METER
A magnetic-inductive flow meter includes: a housing; a first and a second measurement electrode in galvanic contact with a flowing medium in a pipe; a magnetic field-generating device positioned in the housing and including a measurement circuit configured to determine a first measurement variable, and wherein measurement values of the first measurement variable are measured between two measurement electrodes or at a measurement electrode in relation to a reference potential; and an evaluation circuit configured to determine a Reynolds number and/or a kinematic viscosity value of the medium using measurement values of the first measurement variable and of a second measurement variable, which differs from the first measurement variable, wherein the measurement electrodes are positioned such that, during a test measurement, quotients of current measurement values of the first and of the second measurement variable correspond bijectively with the Reynolds number of the medium in the pipe.

Systems and methods for gamma radiation based stabilization of replicated mirror structures at the nanometer-scale
A system includes a curing assembly for low temperature curing and residual stress relief of material substrates. The curing assembly includes a first exposure chamber configured to expose the material substrate to UV radiation, and a second exposure chamber configured to expose the material substrate to Gamma radiation. In some embodiments, a mixing apparatus may mix nano-filler particles into the material substrate prior to exposure to Gamma radiation. The cure assembly may also include a control system for determining exposure dosages and exposure times based at least in part, on the material properties of the material substrate.

Flowability testing systems and methods
Systems and methods for assessing flowability of a multiphase fluid are provided. The method includes agitating a sample of the multiphase fluid contained in a container while controlling an agitation force applied to the sample; pouring the sample, after it has been agitated, into a viscosity cup having an opening at its upper end and an orifice at its lower end and thereby causing the multiphase fluid to flow out of the viscosity cup through the orifice; weighing an amount of the multiphase fluid that has flowed through the orifice and into a receiving vessel over a period of time; and assessing flowability of the multiphase fluid sample using the weight of the multiphase fluid sample in the receiving vessel as a function of time.
Method And System For Detecting At Least One Contaminant In A Flow Of A Liquid Fuel
A method of detecting at least one contaminant in a flow of a liquid fuel includes measuring one or more parameters of a flow of the liquid fuel. Based on the measured one or more parameters, one or more properties of the liquid fuel are determined.
