The oscillator described can be
improved by making the second stage
gain greater than one, and taking the
output from the first stage rather than
the second. In Figure 1. the values of
R3 and R4 have been interchanged for
this purpose the preset resistor Rf then
needs to have approximately twice the
original value but there are no other
changes.
The limiting now takes place in the
second stage an the selectivity of the
first stage is available to filter the
resulting distortion. From an
oscilloscope comparison the setting of
Rf is considerably less critical than in
the original circuit about 96% of the
value required just to sustain oscillation

amount of fuel that there is in a Bike.
Bike owners need to be particularly
aware of fuel level. Having a low
amount of fuel can hamper the Bike
performance and damage it in the long
run.
Good sensors are equipped with
microprocessors, measure the fuel
level in a high temperature environ-
ment, and are designed for fast, on
request delivery. Low power consum-
ption and easy calibration are other
distinguishing features. When properly
functioning, fuel level sensors warn
when refueling is required.
The connection between the sensor
and the Bike should be stable. A stable
connection reduces the probability of
getting false readings that may lead to
the Bike stopping in the middle of the
road if the vehicle has ran out of fuel.
Although the sensor may indicate the
right level of fuel, the indicator may go
haywire as it can't interpret the data.
Checking if the sensor is working is the
best way to prevent accidents due to
false information.
Since Float inside the tank has some
limitation of moment and shape of the
tank is not linear.
Wiring and Indicator
Limitation
Mostly Fuel gauges in your bike tells
only mpty, id and ull position. it
does not give a clear idea of fuel
purchased. suppose your Bike fuel tank
has fuel capacity of 15 liters. Now if you
purchase only 10 liters, than there is no
graduation on the indicator dial to
indicate the 10 liter fuel purchase .
Here we give you a idea to make digital
fuel indicator for your bike using AET
DPM kit and float type fuel sensor.
Float type fuel level sensor are
commonly use in bikes. It consist of
float mounted on moving arm of
potentiometer. These float sensor are
mounted in the tank where float is
inside the fuel and potentiometer is
outside the fuel.
The float in the fuel tank varies as per
fuel level in the tank and controls the
viper position from maximum to
minimum. When the tank is full the float
is at the top and the resistance of the
potentiometer is maximum. When fuel
tank is empty the float is at the bottom
and resistance is minimum. suppose
resistance of float sensor varies
between zero to 100 ohms depending
E M F
upon the float sensor type and its
maximum resistance. Since our battery
voltage is 12 volts DC, if we connect the
sensor to battery directly current flow
will be 120 mAapprox, which is high, we
can easily calculate using Ohms law ie
V = I x R
V = 12 DC Battery Voltage.
R = Resistance of Float Sensor.
I = Current in the Circuit 120mAapprox.
We should further reduce this current
otherwise battery will discharge early.
So we connect 10,000 ohms
resistance in series to Float Sensor, as
per circuit given.

If you refer to the switching circuit for
the transistor you will see that the
output voltage is high (consider this as
1) when the input voltage is low
(consider this as 0). This is the basic
NOT gate - there is an output when
there is not an input.
Combinations of these switching
circuits can be made into logic gates
that will perform simple decisions within
a microprocessor. These logic gates
are the basis of all decisions within
computers and from now on we will
consider their effects rather then their
internal structure.
We will consider the following types of
logic gate:
(1) NOT gate - this gives an output 1 for
an input of 0.
(2) NOR gate - this gives an output 1
for neither of two inputs 1.
(3) OR gate - this gives an output 1 for
either of two inputs 1 and both
The switching action of a transistor
makes it especially suitable for use in
digital logic circuits where the output is
either 0 or 1 depending on the input.
Applications of such circuits are to :
a). Switch on a water pump on a hot
sunny day.
b). Sound an alarm if the pilot light of a
boiler went off.
c). Sound an alarm if a burglar stepped
on a pressure pad or shone his
torch.
d). Switch a light on if it was a cloudy
day.
e). Add two simple binary numbers
together.
f). Switch on a fan if a darkroom door
was shut and it was warm inside
All these things and indeed many more
can be done with ELECTRONIC
LOGIC CIRCUITS. These circuits are
ones that can make decisions. Different
decisions need different circuits.

inputs 1.
(4) AND gate - this gives an output 1 for
both two inputs 1.
(5) NAND gate - this gives an output I
for either but not both of two inputs
1 or both inputs 0.
(6) EXCLUSIVE-OR - this gives an
output I for either but not both of two
inputs 1.
(7) EXCLUSIVE-NOR - this gives an
output 1 when both inputs are 0 or
1.
Because of its wide use in modern
digital electronics the NAND gate will
be considered as a basic building block
for a variety of logic circuits. In fact a
number of other logic gates can be
constructed from NAND gates as is
shown below. The circuit in Figure 1
shows how a NAND gate might be
constructed from discrete components,
although it would normally be in the
form of an integrated circuit.

below a certain threshold value and
are generally slow to respond. Like
these sensors, the placement of H2
sensors, within a volume will be
critical, as H2 is a very buoyant gas.
For H2 alarm sensors, the detection
range will likely be 0.5 to 4.0 percent
H2 in air, with a response time of
several seconds to tens of seconds.
Once a large-scale leak is detected,
the buoyant nature of hydrogen means
that it is easily dissipated, making it
ultimately a safer gas to use than
heavy flammable gases which tend to
settle.
In contrast to leak detection, explosive-
limit monitoring, H2 sensors are also
required to monitor H2 going into a fuel
cell. Technical challenges originate
from the multitude of potential
generation sources for the gas. These
challenges include H2 from reformers,
tanks, electrolysers, H2 storage
media, biomass and other storage
technologies.
Catalytic Bead Sensors consist of two
beads surrounding a wire operating at
high temperature (450°C). One bead is
passivated, so that it will not react
when it comes into contact with gas
molecules. The other is coated with a
catalyst to promote a reaction with the
gas.
The beads are generally placed on
separate legs of a Wheatstone bridge

circuit. When hydrogen is present,
there is no measurable effect on the
passivated bead, whereas there is a
significant effect on the catalyzed
bead. The increase in heat increases
the resistance in that leg of the
Wheatstone bridge circuit, which in
turn changes the bridge balance
signal, which is the sensor signal.
In terms of performance specifications,
catalytic bead technology is generally
used in the 1 to 5 percent H2 range.
The response times of the sensor
varies, ranging from 10 to 30 seconds
for full-scale response Semiconductor
Sensors. Solid state sensors utilizing
semiconducting oxides generally
operate at temperatures above
ambient. The electrical resistance of
the sensor material will also depend on
temperature, and also on the chemical
composition of the surrounding
atmosphere. These sensors do offer
fast response in the range of 0-
1000ppm H2, therefore are useful in
leak-detection applications on the end
of a sensor wand.
Hydrogen Field Effect Transistors
(HFET). By using palladium as the
gate material for a standard field effect
transistor, small changes in the
resistivity of the palladium produce
large changes in the current-voltage
characteristics of the FET.
This sensor technology works well in
Introduction
Hydrogen is emerging as a primary
fuel source to replace oil-based fuels.
Hydrogen-based fuel cells will be the
mechanism by which electrical energy
will be derived from the reaction of
hydrogen and oxygen gases within the
fuel cell to make water.
All fuel cells require two types of
sensors; the first monitors the quality
of the hydrogen feed gas, and the
second for leak detection.
Hydrogen leak-detection sensors must
detect over the general level of
ambient hydrogen levels, and in a
variety of environments.
Leak detection can be accomplished
by two types of sensors: one to detect
the leak and a second alarm sensor
with a set-point set at 50 percent of the
Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of 4
percent hydrogen in air. The need for
leak detection is especially acute
where there is a large volume of
hydrogen consumed. For example, in
residential/stationary applications and
in automotive applications, where the
fuel cell sits in an enclosed volume.
The demands on the explosive-limit
sensors and the leak-detection
sensors are naturally different.
Explosive-limit sensors have similar
metrics to current domestic CO or fire
alarm sensors, in that they are
continuously on, do not need to sense

elements at a nominally constant
temperature, thereby decoupling
thermal resistivity changes from those
changes occurring as hydrogen is
diffused into or out of the palladium
alloy lattice. mapping of the H2 field
can be done over long distances.
Sensitive material of MQ-8 Hydrogen
gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower
conductivity in clean air. When
hydrogen gas exists, the sensor's
conductivity gets higher along with the
the range of 50 to 1000ppm range of
H2. As a palladium-based sensor
technology, it functions independently
of the environment.

Introduction
History - GM Detector
Physics principle behind GM Detector tube
Theory of Operation
AGeiger counter (Geiger-Muller tube) is a device used for the
detection and measurement of all types of radiation: alpha,
beta and gamma radiation. Thanks to an ingenious German
physicist named Hans Geiger, we've all heard the sound of
radioactivity. It's just as well we do have Geiger counters
because most radiation (radioactive particles and energy) is
extremely harmful to living things, completely invisible, and
very difficult to detect in other ways.
A "Geiger counter" usually contains a metal tube with a thin
metal wire (Figure 1.) along its middle; the space in between
them sealed off and filled with a suitable gas, and with the
wire at a very high positive electric potential relative to the
tube(a).
An electron, positive ion, or gamma radiation penetrating the
tube through a mica window, will ionize a number of the
atoms in the gas(b), and because of the high positive voltage
of the central wire, the electrons will be attracted to it while
the positive ions will be attracted to the wall(c). The high
voltage will accelerate the positive and negative charges,
they gain more energy and collide with more atoms to
release more electrons and positive ions; the process
escalates into an "avalanche" which produces an easily
detectable pulse of current. With a suitable filling gas, the
current quickly drops to zero so that a single voltage spike
occurs across the resistor R and that is registered by an
electronic counter. A scaler counts the current pulses, and
one obtains a”count” whenever radiation ionizes the gas
(Figure 2.).
As explained in the working principle of GM counter, the
collection of the charge thus produced results in the
formation of a pulse of voltage at the output of the tube. The
amplitude of this pulse, on the order of a volt or so, is
sufficient to operate the scaler circuit with little or no further
amplification.

1. Plateau curve
2. Dead-time of the GM counter
Every GM tube has a characteristic response of counting rate
versus voltage applied to the tube. A curve representing the
variation of counting rate with voltage is called a plateau
curve (Figure 3). The counter starts counting at a point
corresponding approximately to the Geiger threshold
voltage; from there follows a “plateau" with little change in the
counting rate as the voltage increases. Finally a point is
reached where the self-suppressing mechanism no longer
works, and the counting rate rapidly increases until the
counter breaks down into a continuous discharge. In order to
ensure stable operation, the counter is operated at a voltage
corresponding approximately to the mid-point of the plateau.
Plug the Geiger-Müller tube into the scaler (counter) and
switch on.
Start the voltage at about 200 volts. Make a note of the
number of counts in, say, a 15 second interval.
Increase the voltage in steps of 25 volts.
You will find that the counts vary with voltage and then
reach a plateau. A graph would look like this (you do not
need to plot the graph):
After the threshold voltage, the count will reach a
plateau. It will stay constant over a range of voltages.
Set the voltage at a value of between 50 to 100 V above
the threshold.
If the clicking increases when you increase the voltage,
then you have moved off the plateau.
Turn the voltage back down.
Put the source back in a safe place until you carry out the
demonstration.
As determining the plateau is an important aspect, so is
determining the dead time.
Build-up of the positive ion space charges after each
discharge process turns the G-M tube off for the next incident
radiation measurement. A considerable amount of time
should elapse before next avalanche can take place in the
tube. Depending on the physical characteristics of the

detector, this time is of the order of 20 to 300 s. This dead
period makes the G-M tube response as a nonlinear and
complicated function of the incident radiation intensity.
As it is visible from Figure 4. there is a time needed to process
the interaction and during that time, no further pulses will be
registered; this is known as the dead time or paralysis time.
Dead times range from a few µs for scintillation and the
smallest GM types to a few hundred µs for larger GM types.
The effect of dead time is shown in the figure below.
where = dead time of detector following an interaction
A total of 6 events occur within the detector (a) but only 4
counts are registered (b).
Events 3 and 5 will not be registered because they occur
during the dead time period of the detector.
Seeing the Operation Principle of GM Tubes, now we have a
fare idea of what features are required from a microcontroller
so that a prototype of a GM Counter can be made.
1) Minimizing DeadTime losses
2) Timer - Start and Stop Pulse counts
3) Boost Converter - 400V Power Source
4) Final Output – Counts Per Minute (uSV /Hours to CPM )
Dose Equivalent is measured in sievert (Sv) (Rem in the
U.S.)
Based on Atmega-328p and programmed with Arduino IDE.
In compare to other Arduino based Geiger counters on the
market, this product has reduced components amount that
makes this project very easy to solder.
The kit has basic simple function to count GM tube events
(CPM) and calculate gamma radiation DER for ambient
background level or for low-moderate radioactive samples.
Since it's educational Arduino IDE project, do not rely on its
readings in real hazardous situations !
The software and hardware where designed to produce tube
high voltage with PWM technology. No additional IC's
required, everything is controlled with software. By default it
programmed to 400V-420V and you can make fine adjust
through software calibration from 350V to 480V. If required,
the kit can be adjusted for 500V-550V. For higher voltage it
possible to make 600V hardware mode.

secondary puts out exactly the amount required. The
transformer is made on aA22 ferrite core, with 16 turns in the
primary and 600 in the secondary.
Figure 5 shows a simple boost converter which works on the
principle of fast switching of an inductor current between two
different levels. In the schematic shown, the switch is initially
closed for a long time and a constant current is established in
the inductor. Now, when the current is suddenly switched
from the established constant value to zero by opening the
switch a high voltage is generated on the pole side of the
switch.
This momentarily generates high voltage that can be stored
in a capacitor through a diode and further processed to act as
a source. Since any load connected to the capacitor
discharges it, the capacitor charge should be constantly
replenished by repetition of the switching action. This is done
by replacing the mechanical switch with a switching
transistor with a pulse signal in its base terminal. There is a
simple relation between the input voltage (Vin) and the output
voltage (Vout) of a boost converter in terms of the duty cycle
(D) which states.
The high voltage generated depends on the duty cycle of this
pulse signal.The duty cycle
), thereby enabling a current through the inductor to the total
cycle time, (There is the ratio of the time for which the switch
is kept closed (Ton + Toff), i.e., switch closed time added with
that time for which switch is open)
Thus, as the duty cycle approaches unity, output voltage
(Vout) that is greater than the input (Vin)
can be generated. This relation establishes that a constant
high voltage source can be realized using duty cycle control
of the switching transistor.
a. High voltage isolation
b. Overshoots due to sudden switching (inductive effect of
the central conductor).
These issues can be solved by the implementation of a
conditioning circuit as shown in Figure 3.
Then there is a voltage divider connected to the case of the
GM tube. This voltage divider is composed of 10K and 100K
resistors with a 220 pf bypass capacitor. Then there is a
voltage divider connected to the case of the GM tube. This
voltage divider is composed of 10K and 100K resistors with a
220 pf bypass capacitor.
The output of this voltage divider, which lowers the high
voltage pulse from the GM tube, is feed to an NPN transistor
which converts the analogue signal from GM-tube to form a
logic pulses.
As the conditioning of the logic pulses as now been done, it's
time to count the logic pulses.
d. Counting the logic pulses with time gating.
e. Display the counts per second or the dose information.

output at A. Monoshot 74121 has been
used to restrict any further pulses
coming from the previous op-amp
during ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ time. An Ic7490
counter in 2 configuration has been
used to trigger the triac. Voltage drop
across 0.1 (high wattage) resistance
(which can be reduced or replaced by a
current meter) is fed to an amplifier in
the feed-back loop. The amplified
voltage is passed through a diode and a
parallel combination of 5 F and 10pF
capacitors which help in reducing the
transient (a high voltage drop across
0.1 due to heavy current at the time of
switching ‘ON’). The DC voltage
developed across the capacitors is fed
to the op-amp. As soon as the voltage
at pt B exceeds V , the output state of
the op-amp changes and trips ‘OFF’the
circuit. This circuit also senses the

The circuit has been designed to
replace the fuses of high as well as low
current rating by a semi-conductor trip
system utilizing the triac of high as well
as low power rating. The current rating
of this S.C. fuse can be adjusted by
choosing a right value of the reference
voltage V of the feed-back loop and
hence a particular value of the fuse in
amperage can be set by a particular
value of reference voltage V . Thus the
same circuit can act as a fuse different
current rating. Initially, the high input
impedance of op-amp 741 which has
been exploited is in the order of 1M
as a tough switch. The impedance of
the human body being in the order of
500k and hence when the op-amp

voltage changes in the mains supply
efficiently. When the mains ac voltage
exceeds 220V rms, the given circuit
trips ‘OFF’the supply to load and hence
puts the triac to ‘OFF’stage.
The importance of the circuit lies in the
fact that it replaces the fuse which is a
consumable item. where as in this
circuit nothing is consumable and
therefore has a long life expectancy.
Moreover, the trip time is very small as
compared to the fusing time of the
fuses made until now. The trip time
decreases with the increases with the
increase of load current from the
designed fuse (in this case a S.C. fuse)
current. This would avoid damage of
costly and sensitive equipments either
due to voltage fluctuations or any short
circuit inside the equipment occurring
suddenly.

Simple Charge Measuring Meter
Experiments involving the manu-
facturing of optical waveguides by
electron beam irradiation on a glass
substrates, requires the accurate
measurement of electrical charge to
control the refractive index variation of
the substrate.
In the particular experiment of
incremental charge and accumulated
charge were required in increments of
0.001 Coulomb up to a total charge of
100,000 Coulombs. A further
requirement was to isolate requirement
was to isolate the meter circuit from the
measuring system.
A simple system for implementing the
Each time that an increment of charge
of 0.001 Coulomb builds up, the relay
is energized, discharging the 100µF
capacitor and the counter is
incremented. The system can be
calibrated by injecting a current of
100µA into the input and adjusting the
reference voltage so that the
monostable triggers repetitively at 0.1s
intervals.
Provision for zero offset control was
found to be necessary. However, figure
1 shows a zero offset control which is
adjusted for minimum update rate of
the display with the 100uF capacitor

requirements is shown in figure 1.
The applied charge in the form of an
electron beam causing current to flow
through the substrate is applied to Ic1,
functioning as an integrator with the
integrating capacitance of 100µF (10 x
10µF dielectric film). After buffering by
Ic2, the resulting ramp given by 1 x T/C
is compared to a 10V reference and an
edge is generated when the voltage
exceeds the reference causing the
monostable to trigger for approximately
10mS.
The pulse is coupled via opto isolator

Better sensors for medical imaging, contraband detection
A team researchers used a
promising new material to
build more functional
memristors, bringing us
closer to brain-like
computing. Both academic
and industrial laboratories
are working to develop
computers that operate
more like the human brain. Instead of operating like a
conventional, digital system, these new devices could
potentially function more like a network of neurons. Concept
illustration (stock image). A new step forward in memristor
technology could bring us closer to brain-like computing.
Computers that mimic the function of the brain
High-tech method allows rapid imaging of functions in
living brain
Magnetic nanoparticles could allow brain stimulation
without wires
Researchers studying cancer
and other invasive diseases
rely on high-resolution
imaging to see tumors and
other activity deep within the
body's tissues. Using a new
high-speed, high-resolution
imaging method, Lihong
Wang, PhD, and his team at
Washington University in St.
Louis were able to see blood
flow, blood oxygenation, oxygen metabolism and other
functions inside a living mouse brain at faster rates than ever
before.
Researchers have developed
a method to stimulate brain
tissue using external magnetic
fields and injected magnetic
nanoparticles -- a technique
allowing direct stimulation of
neurons, which could be an
effective treatment for a variety
of neurological diseases,
without the need for implants
or external connections.Magnetic nanoparticles could allow
brain stimulation without wires.
The researchers
discovered that the
neural activity in the
quickest learners was
different from that of the
slowest. Their analysis
provides new insight into
what happens in the
brain during the learning
process and sheds light on the role of interactions between
different regions. The findings, which appear online today in
Nature Neuroscience, suggest that recruiting unnecessary
parts of the brain for a given task -- similar to overthinking the
problem -- plays a critical role in this important difference.
The brain game: How decreased neural activity may help
you learn faster
A new, ultrasensitive
magnetic-field detector
has been developed that
is 1,000 times more
energy-efficient than its
predecessors. It could
lead to miniaturized,
battery-powered devices
for medical and materials
imaging, contraband detection, and even geological
exploration. In this image, laser light enters a synthetic diamond
from a facet at its corner and bounces around inside the
diamond until its energy is exhausted. This excites "nitrogen
vacancies" that can be used to measure magnetic fields.
Swine flu outbreak in India raises concern: New strain of
H1N1 may carry dangerous mutations
Since December, an
outbreak of swine flu in
India has killed more
than 1,200 people, and a
new study suggests that
the strain has acquired
mutations that make it
more dangerous than
previously circulating
strains of H1N1 influenza. The findings, which appear in the
March 11 issue of Cell Host & Microbe, contradict previous
reports from Indian health officials that the strain has not
changed from the version of H1N1 that emerged in 2009 and
has been circulating around the world ever since.

In Figure 1. the values of R3 and R4 have been interchanged for this purpose the preset resistor Rf then needs to have approximately twice the original value but there are no other changes. The limiting now takes place in the second stage an the selectivity of the first stage is available to filter the resulting distortion. From an oscilloscope comparison the setting of Rf is considerably less critical than in the original circuit about 96% of the value required just to sustain oscillation is a reasonable compromise between waveshape compromise between waveshape and start - up time.

Having a low amount of fuel can hamper the Bike performance and damage it in the long run. Good sensors are equipped with microprocessors, measure the fuel level in a high temperature environ- ment, and are designed for fast, on request delivery. Low power consum- ption and easy calibration are other distinguishing features. When properly functioning, fuel level sensors warn when refueling is required. The connection between the sensor and the Bike should be stable. A stable connection reduces the probability of getting false readings that may lead to the Bike stopping in the middle of the road if the vehicle has ran out of fuel. Although the sensor may indicate the right level of fuel, the indicator may go haywire as it can't interpret the data. Checking if the sensor is working is the best way to prevent accidents due to false information. Since Float inside the tank has some limitation of moment and shape of the tank is not linear. Wiring and Indicator Limitation Mostly Fuel gauges in your bike tells only mpty, id and ull position. it does not give a clear idea of fuel purchased. suppose your Bike fuel tank has fuel capacity of 15 liters. Now if you purchase only 10 liters, than there is no graduation on the indicator dial to indicate the 10 liter fuel purchase . Here we give you a idea to make digital fuel indicator for your bike using AET DPM kit and float type fuel sensor. Float type fuel level sensor are commonly use in bikes. It consist of float mounted on moving arm of potentiometer. These float sensor are mounted in the tank where float is inside the fuel and potentiometer is outside the fuel. The float in the fuel tank varies as per fuel level in the tank and controls the viper position from maximum to minimum. When the tank is full the float is at the top and the resistance of the potentiometer is maximum. When fuel tank is empty the float is at the bottom and resistance is minimum. suppose resistance of float sensor varies between zero to 100 ohms depending E M F upon the float sensor type and its maximum resistance. Since our battery voltage is 12 volts DC, if we connect the sensor to battery directly current flow will be 120 mAapprox, which is high, we can easily calculate using Ohms law ie V = I x R V = 12 DC Battery Voltage. R = Resistance of Float Sensor. I = Current in the Circuit 120mAapprox. We should further reduce this current otherwise battery will discharge early. So we connect 10,000 ohms resistance in series to Float Sensor, as per circuit given. A fuel level sensor informs about the DIGITAL FUEL GAUGE METERDIGITAL FUEL GAUGE METER Figure 1.

Smart circuitS-I 10 Embedded For You March/ April 2015 If you refer to the switching circuit for the transistor you will see that the output voltage is high (consider this as 1) when the input voltage is low (consider this as 0). This is the basic NOT gate - there is an output when there is not an input. Combinations of these switching circuits can be made into logic gates that will perform simple decisions within a microprocessor. These logic gates are the basis of all decisions within computers and from now on we will consider their effects rather then their internal structure. We will consider the following types of logic gate: (1) NOT gate - this gives an output 1 for an input of 0. (2) NOR gate - this gives an output 1 for neither of two inputs 1. (3) OR gate - this gives an output 1 for either of two inputs 1 and both The switching action of a transistor makes it especially suitable for use in digital logic circuits where the output is either 0 or 1 depending on the input. Applications of such circuits are to : a). Switch on a water pump on a hot sunny day. b). Sound an alarm if the pilot light of a boiler went off. c). Sound an alarm if a burglar stepped on a pressure pad or shone his torch. d). Switch a light on if it was a cloudy day. e). Add two simple binary numbers together. f). Switch on a fan if a darkroom door was shut and it was warm inside All these things and indeed many more can be done with ELECTRONIC LOGIC CIRCUITS. These circuits are ones that can make decisions. Different decisions need different circuits. LOGIC GATES inputs 1. (4) AND gate - this gives an output 1 for both two inputs 1. (5) NAND gate - this gives an output I for either but not both of two inputs 1 or both inputs 0. (6) EXCLUSIVE-OR - this gives an output I for either but not both of two inputs 1. (7) EXCLUSIVE-NOR - this gives an output 1 when both inputs are 0 or 1. Because of its wide use in modern digital electronics the NAND gate will be considered as a basic building block for a variety of logic circuits. In fact a number of other logic gates can be constructed from NAND gates as is shown below. The circuit in Figure 1 shows how a NAND gate might be constructed from discrete components, although it would normally be in the form of an integrated circuit.

Like these sensors, the placement of H2 sensors, within a volume will be critical, as H2 is a very buoyant gas. For H2 alarm sensors, the detection range will likely be 0.5 to 4.0 percent H2 in air, with a response time of several seconds to tens of seconds. Once a large-scale leak is detected, the buoyant nature of hydrogen means that it is easily dissipated, making it ultimately a safer gas to use than heavy flammable gases which tend to settle. In contrast to leak detection, explosive- limit monitoring, H2 sensors are also required to monitor H2 going into a fuel cell. Technical challenges originate from the multitude of potential generation sources for the gas. These challenges include H2 from reformers, tanks, electrolysers, H2 storage media, biomass and other storage technologies. Catalytic Bead Sensors consist of two beads surrounding a wire operating at high temperature (450°C). One bead is passivated, so that it will not react when it comes into contact with gas molecules. The other is coated with a catalyst to promote a reaction with the gas. The beads are generally placed on separate legs of a Wheatstone bridge Interfacing Sensors Hydrogen (H2) Sensor Necessity of Hydrogen Sensor. Explain the working of . Study of Applications of . Interfacing Microcontroller to . Hydrogen Sensor Hydrogen Sensor Hydrogen Sensor After completing this section you should be able to : circuit. When hydrogen is present, there is no measurable effect on the passivated bead, whereas there is a significant effect on the catalyzed bead. The increase in heat increases the resistance in that leg of the Wheatstone bridge circuit, which in turn changes the bridge balance signal, which is the sensor signal. In terms of performance specifications, catalytic bead technology is generally used in the 1 to 5 percent H2 range. The response times of the sensor varies, ranging from 10 to 30 seconds for full-scale response Semiconductor Sensors. Solid state sensors utilizing semiconducting oxides generally operate at temperatures above ambient. The electrical resistance of the sensor material will also depend on temperature, and also on the chemical composition of the surrounding atmosphere. These sensors do offer fast response in the range of 0- 1000ppm H2, therefore are useful in leak-detection applications on the end of a sensor wand. Hydrogen Field Effect Transistors (HFET). By using palladium as the gate material for a standard field effect transistor, small changes in the resistivity of the palladium produce large changes in the current-voltage characteristics of the FET. This sensor technology works well in Introduction Hydrogen is emerging as a primary fuel source to replace oil-based fuels. Hydrogen-based fuel cells will be the mechanism by which electrical energy will be derived from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases within the fuel cell to make water. All fuel cells require two types of sensors; the first monitors the quality of the hydrogen feed gas, and the second for leak detection. Hydrogen leak-detection sensors must detect over the general level of ambient hydrogen levels, and in a variety of environments. Leak detection can be accomplished by two types of sensors: one to detect the leak and a second alarm sensor with a set-point set at 50 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of 4 percent hydrogen in air. The need for leak detection is especially acute where there is a large volume of hydrogen consumed. For example, in residential/stationary applications and in automotive applications, where the fuel cell sits in an enclosed volume. The demands on the explosive-limit sensors and the leak-detection sensors are naturally different. Explosive-limit sensors have similar metrics to current domestic CO or fire alarm sensors, in that they are continuously on, do not need to sense

EnvisioN-II 20 Embedded For You March /April 2015 Introduction History - GM Detector Physics principle behind GM Detector tube Theory of Operation AGeiger counter (Geiger-Muller tube) is a device used for the detection and measurement of all types of radiation: alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Thanks to an ingenious German physicist named Hans Geiger, we've all heard the sound of radioactivity. It's just as well we do have Geiger counters because most radiation (radioactive particles and energy) is extremely harmful to living things, completely invisible, and very difficult to detect in other ways. A "Geiger counter" usually contains a metal tube with a thin metal wire (Figure 1.) along its middle; the space in between them sealed off and filled with a suitable gas, and with the wire at a very high positive electric potential relative to the tube(a). An electron, positive ion, or gamma radiation penetrating the tube through a mica window, will ionize a number of the atoms in the gas(b), and because of the high positive voltage of the central wire, the electrons will be attracted to it while the positive ions will be attracted to the wall(c). The high voltage will accelerate the positive and negative charges, they gain more energy and collide with more atoms to release more electrons and positive ions; the process escalates into an "avalanche" which produces an easily detectable pulse of current. With a suitable filling gas, the current quickly drops to zero so that a single voltage spike occurs across the resistor R and that is registered by an electronic counter. A scaler counts the current pulses, and one obtains a”count” whenever radiation ionizes the gas (Figure 2.). As explained in the working principle of GM counter, the collection of the charge thus produced results in the formation of a pulse of voltage at the output of the tube. The amplitude of this pulse, on the order of a volt or so, is sufficient to operate the scaler circuit with little or no further amplification. G.M. COUNTERG.M. COUNTER
  • 17. EnvisioN-II Embedded For You March / April 2015 21 1. Plateau curve 2. Dead-time of the GM counter Every GM tube has a characteristic response of counting rate versus voltage applied to the tube. A curve representing the variation of counting rate with voltage is called a plateau curve (Figure 3). The counter starts counting at a point corresponding approximately to the Geiger threshold voltage; from there follows a “plateau" with little change in the counting rate as the voltage increases. Finally a point is reached where the self-suppressing mechanism no longer works, and the counting rate rapidly increases until the counter breaks down into a continuous discharge. In order to ensure stable operation, the counter is operated at a voltage corresponding approximately to the mid-point of the plateau. Plug the Geiger-Müller tube into the scaler (counter) and switch on. Start the voltage at about 200 volts. Make a note of the number of counts in, say, a 15 second interval. Increase the voltage in steps of 25 volts. You will find that the counts vary with voltage and then reach a plateau. A graph would look like this (you do not need to plot the graph): After the threshold voltage, the count will reach a plateau. It will stay constant over a range of voltages. Set the voltage at a value of between 50 to 100 V above the threshold. If the clicking increases when you increase the voltage, then you have moved off the plateau. Turn the voltage back down. Put the source back in a safe place until you carry out the demonstration. As determining the plateau is an important aspect, so is determining the dead time. Build-up of the positive ion space charges after each discharge process turns the G-M tube off for the next incident radiation measurement. A considerable amount of time should elapse before next avalanche can take place in the tube. Depending on the physical characteristics of the Determining the Plateau : l l l l l l l l l Figure 1.

This dead period makes the G-M tube response as a nonlinear and complicated function of the incident radiation intensity. As it is visible from Figure 4. there is a time needed to process the interaction and during that time, no further pulses will be registered; this is known as the dead time or paralysis time. Dead times range from a few µs for scintillation and the smallest GM types to a few hundred µs for larger GM types. The effect of dead time is shown in the figure below. where = dead time of detector following an interaction A total of 6 events occur within the detector (a) but only 4 counts are registered (b). Events 3 and 5 will not be registered because they occur during the dead time period of the detector. Seeing the Operation Principle of GM Tubes, now we have a fare idea of what features are required from a microcontroller so that a prototype of a GM Counter can be made. 1) Minimizing DeadTime losses 2) Timer - Start and Stop Pulse counts 3) Boost Converter - 400V Power Source 4) Final Output – Counts Per Minute (uSV /Hours to CPM ) Dose Equivalent is measured in sievert (Sv) (Rem in the U.S.) Based on Atmega-328p and programmed with Arduino IDE. In compare to other Arduino based Geiger counters on the market, this product has reduced components amount that makes this project very easy to solder. The kit has basic simple function to count GM tube events (CPM) and calculate gamma radiation DER for ambient background level or for low-moderate radioactive samples. Since it's educational Arduino IDE project, do not rely on its readings in real hazardous situations ! The software and hardware where designed to produce tube high voltage with PWM technology. No additional IC's required, everything is controlled with software. By default it programmed to 400V-420V and you can make fine adjust through software calibration from 350V to 480V. If required, the kit can be adjusted for 500V-550V. For higher voltage it possible to make 600V hardware mode.

The transformer is made on aA22 ferrite core, with 16 turns in the primary and 600 in the secondary. Figure 5 shows a simple boost converter which works on the principle of fast switching of an inductor current between two different levels. In the schematic shown, the switch is initially closed for a long time and a constant current is established in the inductor. Now, when the current is suddenly switched from the established constant value to zero by opening the switch a high voltage is generated on the pole side of the switch. This momentarily generates high voltage that can be stored in a capacitor through a diode and further processed to act as a source. Since any load connected to the capacitor discharges it, the capacitor charge should be constantly replenished by repetition of the switching action. This is done by replacing the mechanical switch with a switching transistor with a pulse signal in its base terminal. There is a simple relation between the input voltage (Vin) and the output voltage (Vout) of a boost converter in terms of the duty cycle (D) which states. The high voltage generated depends on the duty cycle of this pulse signal.The duty cycle ), thereby enabling a current through the inductor to the total cycle time, (There is the ratio of the time for which the switch is kept closed (Ton + Toff), i.e., switch closed time added with that time for which switch is open) Thus, as the duty cycle approaches unity, output voltage (Vout) that is greater than the input (Vin) can be generated. This relation establishes that a constant high voltage source can be realized using duty cycle control of the switching transistor. a. High voltage isolation b. Overshoots due to sudden switching (inductive effect of the central conductor). These issues can be solved by the implementation of a conditioning circuit as shown in Figure 3. Then there is a voltage divider connected to the case of the GM tube. This voltage divider is composed of 10K and 100K resistors with a 220 pf bypass capacitor. Then there is a voltage divider connected to the case of the GM tube. This voltage divider is composed of 10K and 100K resistors with a 220 pf bypass capacitor. The output of this voltage divider, which lowers the high voltage pulse from the GM tube, is feed to an NPN transistor which converts the analogue signal from GM-tube to form a logic pulses. As the conditioning of the logic pulses as now been done, it's time to count the logic pulses. d. Counting the logic pulses with time gating. e.

Monoshot 74121 has been used to restrict any further pulses coming from the previous op-amp during ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ time. An Ic7490 counter in 2 configuration has been used to trigger the triac. Voltage drop across 0.1 (high wattage) resistance (which can be reduced or replaced by a current meter) is fed to an amplifier in the feed-back loop. The amplified voltage is passed through a diode and a parallel combination of 5 F and 10pF capacitors which help in reducing the transient (a high voltage drop across 0.1 due to heavy current at the time of switching ‘ON’). The DC voltage developed across the capacitors is fed to the op-amp. As soon as the voltage at pt B exceeds V , the output state of the op-amp changes and trips ‘OFF’the circuit. This circuit also senses the ¸ W m W R The circuit has been designed to replace the fuses of high as well as low current rating by a semi-conductor trip system utilizing the triac of high as well as low power rating. The current rating of this S.C. fuse can be adjusted by choosing a right value of the reference voltage V of the feed-back loop and hence a particular value of the fuse in amperage can be set by a particular value of reference voltage V . Thus the same circuit can act as a fuse different current rating. Initially, the high input impedance of op-amp 741 which has been exploited is in the order of 1M as a tough switch. The impedance of the human body being in the order of 500k and hence when the op-amp 741 is used in the comparator configuration, a simple, touch of the finger at ‘S’ will change the state of the R R » W » W voltage changes in the mains supply efficiently. When the mains ac voltage exceeds 220V rms, the given circuit trips ‘OFF’the supply to load and hence puts the triac to ‘OFF’stage. The importance of the circuit lies in the fact that it replaces the fuse which is a consumable item. where as in this circuit nothing is consumable and therefore has a long life expectancy. Moreover, the trip time is very small as compared to the fusing time of the fuses made until now. The trip time decreases with the increases with the increase of load current from the designed fuse (in this case a S.C. fuse) current. This would avoid damage of costly and sensitive equipments either due to voltage fluctuations or any short circuit inside the equipment occurring suddenly.

Instead of operating like a conventional, digital system, these new devices could potentially function more like a network of neurons. Concept illustration (stock image).

Using a new high-speed, high-resolution imaging method, Lihong Wang, PhD, and his team at Washington University in St. Louis were able to see blood flow, blood oxygenation, oxygen metabolism and other functions inside a living mouse brain at faster rates than ever before. Researchers have developed a method to stimulate brain tissue using external magnetic fields and injected magnetic nanoparticles -- a technique allowing direct stimulation of neurons, which could be an effective treatment for a variety of neurological diseases, without the need for implants or external connections.Magnetic nanoparticles could allow brain stimulation without wires. The researchers discovered that the neural activity in the quickest learners was different from that of the slowest. Their analysis provides new insight into what happens in the brain during the learning process and sheds light on the role of interactions between different regions. The findings, which appear online today in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that recruiting unnecessary parts of the brain for a given task -- similar to overthinking the problem -- plays a critical role in this important difference. The brain game: How decreased neural activity may help you learn faster A new, ultrasensitive magnetic-field detector has been developed that is 1,000 times more energy-efficient than its predecessors. It could lead to miniaturized, battery-powered devices for medical and materials imaging, contraband detection, and even geological exploration.
