Abstract: A pressure swing and temperature swing adsorption system is disclosed which continuously purges contaminants such as nuclear, biological and chemical warfare agents from intake air and provides cool clean air to the crew compartment of a vehicle by progressively directing contaminated air through a first adsorption bed to clean the air, while simultaneously directing hot exhaust gases at about 600.degree. F. through a second adsorption bed for purging contaminants therefrom, while simultaneously cooling a third adsorption bed for enhancing adsorption of contaminants in the purging bed upon repeating the cycles of operation.

Abstract: A high-resolution vision system for a detailed inspection of parts. A charge coupled device provides high-resolution in both an X and a Y axis. Data from the charge coupled device resulting from a standard part is stored in compact form. Compact data from a part being inspected is compared with the compact data from the standard part to determine if the tested part is good or not.
