Apr 11, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/832969

Inventors:

Jeffrey W. Hegemier - Hudson OH
Michael A. Bush - Hudson OH

Assignee:

Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH

International Classification:

H04B 336

US Classification:

375211

Abstract:

An improve modular communication repeater system is adapted for use with a wide variety of media types in an industrial control system to repeat communication port onto various media at multiple communication ports in the industrial control system. A modular communication repeater system is provided. The system includes at least one communication repeater adapter device coupled with a plurality of repeater communication modules. A single repeater adapter connector is provided on one side of the repeater adapter. Each of the plurality of repeater communication modules is provided with an input connector on one side and an output connector on the other side. The repeater adapter device includes an internal communication repeater circuit adapted to receive communication data on a one of first and second sets of repeater adapter contacts and broadcast the communication data onto the other one of the first and second sets of repeater adapter contacts. Each of the repeater communication modules includes a cascading backplane interconnecting the first sets of electrical contacts in an input connector to the second sets of electrical contacts in an output connector.

Appl. No.:

12/134785

Inventors:

Michael S. Bush - Ravenna OH, US

Assignee:

Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc. - Worcester MA

International Classification:

G01T 1/20

US Classification:

250361R

Abstract:

A scintillation article including a scintillation detector coupled to a photomultiplier tube (PMT) housing, and a PMT assembly disposed within the PMT housing. The scintillation article further includes a cap assembly selectively coupled to the PMT assembly, wherein upon moving the cap assembly from an assembled position in which the cap assembly is engaged with the housing to an extracted position in which the cap assembly is disengaged and removed from the housing, the cap assembly mechanically engages the PMT assembly and extracts the PMT assembly from the PMT housing.

International Classification:

G05B 11/01
G05B 9/02

US Classification:

700 26, 700 79

Abstract:

The subject invention relates to a system and/or method that facilitates assessing unexpected field conditions based upon the verification of an audit log. A sensing component can monitor field conditions with respect to an industrial environment. An analysis component can analyze the field conditions and determine that an unexpected event has occurred and retrieve audit logs from a data repository to determine cause of the unexpected event.

International Classification:

G01T 1/20

US Classification:

250368

Abstract:

Embodiments of a radiation detector and subassemblies thereof are provided having a scintillator with a face and a reflector constructed and arranged to redirect a majority of light leaving the face of the scintillator at an angle within a range of 45 to 135 degrees compared to the direction in which the light was traveling when it left the face. In other embodiments a method is provided including receiving radiation into a scintillator having a face, producing light with the scintillator in response to the radiation, allowing at least a portion of the light to leave the face, and reflecting a majority of the light leaving the face at an angle within a range of 45 to 135 degrees compared to the direction in which the light was traveling when it left the face with a reflector. Other embodiments are directed to a reflector including a plurality of prisms having a first face and a second face with a barrier on the first face.
