Abstract
A method for measuring nuclear radiation in a material includes converting radiation from a material that has been inserted into a chamber into an electrical signal corresponding to an extent of nuclear radiation in the material. An electronic circuit provides to the chamber, and receives an electrical signal from the chamber in response to the presence of radiation in the material. A processor receives the electronic signal from the chamber, and uses software to process the digital data, store it, and communicate it over an electronic network. The processor hosts a web server interface which is operative to generate and host pages for access through the network, where the pages corresponding to the processed digital data.
Claims20
A method for measuring nuclear radiation in a material, comprising:
- converting radiation from the material that has been inserted into a chamber into an electrical signal corresponding to an extent of nuclear radiation in the material;
- using a first electronic circuit connected to the chamber for powering the chamber with an electrical signal, and for receiving an electrical signal from the chamber in response to the presence of radiation in the material;
- processing the received electronic signal using an electronic processor executing software stored on non-transitory media, the software operative to process the digital data;
- storing the processed digital data using a data storage device connected to the processor;
- connecting the processor to a electronic communication network;
- and
- hosting a web server, using the processor and software, the web server operative to generate and host pages for access through the network, the pages corresponding to the processed digital data.
A system for measuring nuclear radiation in a material, comprising:
- a chamber into which the material may be inserted, the chamber configured to convert an extent of nuclear radiation in the material into a corresponding electrical signal;
- a first electronic circuit connected to the chamber and including a circuit for powering the chamber with an electrical signal, and a circuit for receiving an electrical signal from the chamber in response to the presence of radiation in the material and for generating an output signal;
- a second electronic circuit connected to the first electronic circuit and including:
- an electronic processor operative to process the output signal into processed data;
- data storage connected to the processor and operative to store processed digital data;
- an electronic communication network connected to the electronic processor;
- and
- software stored on non-transitory media, the software executable by the processor and configured for:
- software executable upon the electronic processor and configured to provide a web server operative to generate and host pages for access through the network, the pages corresponding to the processed digital data.
