Abstract: An improved fast neutron detector fabricated with alternating layers or hydrogenous, optically transparent, non scintillating material and scintillating material Fast neutrons interact with the hydrogenous material generating recoil protons. The recoil protons enter the scintillating material resulting in scintillations. The detector is optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube which generates electrical pulses proportional in amplitude to the intensity of the scintillations, and therefore are an indication of the energy of the fast neutrons impinging upon the detector. Alternating layers of materials are dimensioned to optimize total efficiency of the detector, or to optimize the spectroscopy efficiency of the detector. The scintillating material is preferably ZnS, and the hydrogenous material is preferably plastic. The detector is ideally suited for well logging applications and fast neutron monitor applications.

Abstract: An environmental tracking system provides facilities for modeling the processes of an organization that have an impact on the environment. The environmental tracking system allows each process to be modeled by its input substances and its resulting output substances. The environmental tracking system allows links to be established between the processes, such as indicating a source process and a destination process for a substance. Each process performs a conversion of input substances to output substances in accordance with conversion parameters specified for the process.  Once the model of the processes of an organization is established, the environmental tracking system can track the flow of substances through the organization based on the model.

Abstract: Techniques are described to calibrate the downlink and uplink channels to account for differences in the frequency responses of the transmit and receive chains at an access point and a user terminal. In one method, pilots are transmitted on the downlink and uplink channels and used to derive estimates of the downlink and uplink channel responses, respectively. Correction factors for the access point and correction factors for the user terminal are determined based on (e.g., by performing matrix-ratio computation or minimum mean square error (MMSE) computation on) the downlink and uplink channel response estimates.  The correction factors for the access point and the correction factors for the user terminal are used to obtain a calibrated downlink channel and a calibrated uplink channel, which are transpose of one another. The calibration may be performed in real time based on over-the-air transmission.
