Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for characterizing a suspension with particles floating therein which method comprises the steps of generating an acoustic actuation signal and registering an acoustic reflected signal. Further a first dataset is , calculated on the basis of the reflected signal the dataset containing , information which represents an autocorrelation function as a function of time of the reflected signal. Thereupon, first datasets are combined into a second cumulated dataset, which represents a sum of the autocorrelation functions which correspond with the first datasets. Finally a representation of a , particle size distribution is determined by solving this representation from an expression …
