- Title
Detecting Foreign Objects in Process Streams.
- Abstract
This article presents information on the development of a patented inspection method by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The method, which uses sound waves to detect foreign objects in processing streams, is capable of detecting anything that shouldn't be in ice creams including cartilage, bone fragments, metal, and plastic. Aaron Diaz, a staff scientist at PNNL, holds that the method is the single method that uses both acoustics and optics.
