DEVICE FOR DETECTING BIOLOGICAL INTENSITY OF RADIATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicinal equipment. SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with detecting biologically efficient intensities and dosages of different types of radiation. Device has radiation receiver, transformer, indicator for visual display of values, block to set parameters of known values of factors affecting the intensity of incident radiation at the moment of measurement, and microprocessor the memory of which is supplied with values of biologically efficient intensities of incident radiation of the source with known spectral characteristics for concrete values of factors. As receiver for UV-radiation one should apply photoreceiver, and microprocessor's memory is supplied with values of biologically efficient intensities of Sun's incident radiation and their corresponding summarized values measured by photoreceiver at different angles of Sun above horizon. As receiver of corpuscular radiation of mixed type it could contain several detectors of particles designed as gas-discharge meters, scintillation spectrometers or semiconductor detectors of certain sensitivity. For the purpose to detect biologically efficient intensity of corpuscular radiation of mixed type microprocessor's memory is introduced with coefficients of biological efficiency depending upon the type and energetic spectrum of measured particles, and summing up program, as well. EFFECT: higher efficiency of detection. 2 cl, 2 dwg, 12 tbl
