To shorten a waiting time for a belongings inspection, the present invention provides an inspection system 10 including: an electromagnetic wave transmission/reception unit 11 that irradiates an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength of equal to or more than 30 micrometers and equal to or less than one meter, and receives a reflection wave; a detection unit 12 that performs detection processing of detecting an abnormal state, based on a signal of the reflection wave; a decision unit 13 that decides, for an inspection target person from which the abnormal state is detected, whether to perform a secondary inspection at a place or perform a secondary inspection later; and a registration unit 16 that registers, in association with a result of the detection processing, identification information about the inspection target person decided that a secondary inspection is performed later.

The weight of cellulose containing materials, including paper, cardboard, cotton fabrics and unprocessed wood will increase significantly when exposed to a novel form of energy, which the inventor has termed KELEA (kinetic energy limiting electrostatic attraction). This energy is comparable to what is commonly termed a universal life force in traditional Chinese medicine and what is also attributed to the beneficial health effects of certain naturally occurring and processed drinking water. These waters are sometime referred to as being energized, activated, micro-clustered, etc. The present invention describes a way to quantitatively assess the KELEA emitting activity of these beneficial waters, as well as other fluids, including gasoline and diesel fuels. The fluids can be monitored, even when contained in a sealed container, such as a mini-hot water bag.

A system for measuring microplastics in an aquatic environment is a system that provides practical and accurate means of assessing the presence of plastics in a body of water. The system may include an electronics housing, Electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitters, a photoresistor, a controller, a power source, and a fluid conduit. The electronics housing is a portable hermetic structure that protects the electronic and electrical components from water damage. The EM radiation emitters emit Ultraviolet (UV) light that is absorbed by the microplastics in the sample water being analyzed. The photoresistor detects the light emitted by the microplastics in the sample water after absorbing the UV light. The controller processes the sensor signals from the at least one photoresistor to generate analysis data. The power source provides the energy necessary for the operation of the system. The fluid conduit enables the controlled flow of the sample water for analysis.

A device for determining at least one substance parameter of a substance flowing in a pipeline, wherein the device includes electromagnetic wave transmitting means and receiving means for transmitting and receiving, respectively, electromagnetic waves through the substance. The device includes an outer metal chamber, which is lined at least partly with an interior layer of electromagnetic wave absorber material, and an inner transfer pipeline element configured with at least two opposed wall segments that are essentially parallel with each other. The electromagnetic wave transmitting means and receiving means includes two antennas, preferably linear polarized antennas, each positioned at a respective one of the at least two opposed wall segments, such that electromagnetic waves pass through the substance flowing via the inner transfer pipeline element in a planar way. A method of determining at least one substance parameter of a substance flowing in a pipeline is disclosed.

A mass spectrometer (1) includes: an ionization section (201) configured to generate ions from a sample; a mass separation section (231, 235) configured to separate ions generated by the ionization section according to mass-to-charge ratio; an ion detector (237) configured to detect an ion separated by the mass separation section; an ion capture section (31) configured to capture ions separated by the mass separation section; and an electron beam detection section (32) configured to detect an electron beam diffracted by ions captured within the ion capture section (31). This mass spectrometer is capable of performing, in a single measurement operation, both a mass spectrometric analysis and an electron-beam diffraction measurement for distinguishing between isomers. The electron-beam diffraction measurement can be more efficiently performed than in a conventional device of this type.

There is described a method for inspecting a structure across a cover layer covering the structure. The method generally has emitting a high energy photon beam along a photon path extending across said cover layer and leading to a target point within said structure, resulting in scattering along at least first and second scatter paths originating from said target point and extending across said cover layer and away therefrom, said first and second scatter paths forming a respective angle relative to said cover layer and defining an inspection plane comprising at least the target point; simultaneously detecting a first scatter signal incoming from said first scatter path and detecting a second scatter signal incoming from said second scatter path, and generating first and second values indicative therefrom; comparing said first and second values to one another; and inspecting said structure based on said comparing.
