Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
A SYSTEM FOR THE QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SUBSTANCES, SAID SYSTEM COMPRISING MEANS FOR GENERATING NEUTRON FLUX, MEANS FOR PRESENTING SAMPLES OF THE SUBSTANCE TO BE ANALYZED TO THE GENERATED FLUX TO BE IRRADIATED THEREBY AND TO FORM RADIOACTIVE NUCLIDES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE SUBSTANCE PRESENT IN THE SAMPLE AND TO THE AMOUNT OF FLUX GENERATED, EACH KIND OF SAID RADIOACTIVE NUCLIDES HAVING A CHARACTERISTIC PATTERN OF DECAY OR HALF-LIFE WHICH IS DEPENDENT UPON THE NATURE OF THE NUCLIDE, MEANS FOR MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF RADIOACTIVITY INDUCED IN A SAMPLE OF THE SUBSTANCE BEING ANALYZED, SAID MESURING MEANS INCLUDING A DETECTOR OF RADIOACTIVITY WHICH GENERATES ELECTRICAL PULSES PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF RADIATION FROM SAID SAMPLE AND A MEANS FOR MEASURING AND INDICATING BY THE AMPLITUDE OF A FIRST DIRECT CURRENT THE HEIGHT OF THE PULSES PRODUCED BY SAID DETECTOR, A COMPARISON DEVICE FOR DETERMINING AND INDICATING THE AMOUNT OF NEUTRON FLUX GENERATED FOR IRRADIATING SAID SAMPLES, SAID COMPARISON DEVICE INCLUDING MEANS FOR DETECTING THE NEUTRON FLUX BEING GENERATED AND FOR PRODUCING A SECOND DIRECT ELECTRICAL CURRENT IN PROPORTION THERETO, AND ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MEANS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT FROM SAID NEUTRON FLUX
