Rail inspection apparatus and method

Jan, 2019

US Patent: 10168304-B2

An apparatus and method for rail inspection include a inspection carriage that moves atop a rail and carries a rail height sensor directed toward the rail. The rail height sensor generates a signal correlated with vertical position (height) of the rail relative to the carriage as the carriage moves along the rail. A signal processor converts the rail height signal to a log of rail heights along the rail. Further processing of the log, e.g., in the signal processor, identifies crushed head defects in the rail.

Multifunctional lab-on-a-tube (LOT) probe for simultaneous neurochemical and electrophysiological activity measurements

2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVIII

A multifunctional lab-on-a-tube (LOT) probe for simultaneous in vivo neurochemical and electrophysiological activity measurements is presented. Developed heterostructured platinum/iridium oxide (Pt/IrOx) microelectrodes have shown a superior signal-to-noise ratio and around 80 times slower polarization rate than platinum microelectrodes with the same surface area. Oxygen and glucose biosensors have been integrated to simultaneously detect their changes during cortical spreading depolarizations. The developed LOT shows minimum electrode crosstalk under optimized electrode design and placement, so it can improve the determination of cortical spreading depolarization causing brain injury with respect to multiple cerebral metabolic biomarkers.
