20110169507 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE CONTENT - Methods and apparatus for determining water content in a bulk heterogeneous material using electromagnetic radiation. A radiation source and a radiation receiver are positioned such that the material to be measured is located between them. As the radiation signal is transmitted from the source to the receiver, the signal experiences a path loss due, at least in part to the presence of the material located between the source and the receiver. The path loss in the transmitted signal, when recorded over time may be used to determine the water content of the material. | 07-14-2011 |
