Sensors; LALP-92-103
Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Industrial Partnership Center, 1993. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is one sheet, folded at midpoint, with information/illustrations on all four sides. This brochure states that: Sensor systems have become increasingly important industrial components. Los Alamos was developing sensors that would be more diverse, smarter, faster, and more sensitive. In addition, Los Alamos would apply expertise in thin-film deposition technology, thereby advancing the state of the art of electrochemical sensors for industrial applications. For example, Los Alamos sensors could be placed in discharge stacks to determine if any toxic chemicals used in various processes were escaping into the environment or contaminating a workplace. Examples of the Los Alamos Technology Base and areas of expertise include: Optical Sensor, Electrochemical Materials, Thin-Film Technology, Physical Vapor Deposition, Thin-Film Characterization, Device Fabrication, Sensor Technologies, and Interferometric Sensors. Los Alamos sensor expertise and experience is deep and broad. For decades, the Laboratory has designed, built and operated sensors, and instrumentation systems to monitor nuclear explosions from space. In the 1960s, the U.S. government chose Los Alamos to develop space-based nuclear detonation detection technology when it signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963, an agreement that prohibits countries from testing nuclear weapons in space and the atmosphere. One week after the treaty went into effect, the Laboratory executed its monitoring role when its sensors were carried into space with the debut of the Vela satellites. Condition: Very good.
