  • Patent number: 10782228
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring a value of constituents in a mixed constituent gas having at least one broad band absorber constituent therein and at least one lock constituent are provided. The system uses a combination of integrated cavity output spectroscopy and cavity ringdown spectroscopy to determine the measurement values of constituents in a cavity of a spectrometer. Cavity ringdown in the presence of the at least one broadband absorber constituent and a reference concentration value are used to determine the constituent measurement values when the spectral width of the laser tuning range is overlapped by the absorption band of the broad band absorber in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 9804219
    Abstract: A testing container includes a right-parallelepiped-like container, electrical components of a transformer test system which are arranged in the container and which represent a respective heat source during a testing operation, and a cooling system including at least one heat exchanger. In addition, the testing container includes a movement apparatus configured to move the at least one heat exchanger from a transport position within the container into a working position which is located at least partially outside the container. Thus, the at least one heat exchanger is movable by means of the movement apparatus from the transport position within the container into the working position which is located at least partially outside the container.
