Rapid Screening and Detection of Microplastic Particles

Background Myriad kinds of plastics have found their way into our environment, including many that either do not degrade or do so on the time scale of a thousand years. As plastics in the environment are subject to weather conditions, they break down into smaller particles, eventually reaching micron and even nanoparticle sizes. The presence of these...

Fail-safe shutter operation system that safely terminates an electromagnetic wave beam upon interlock action

Background High-power electromagnetic radiation (ER) beams are usually isolated in an enclosed area guarded by a safety interlock. Opening of the entry point into the protected area causes the interlock to activate a safety system, preventing individuals from accidental exposure to the ER beam. In some systems, the interlock de-energizes the source...
