Abstract: A video monitoring system responds to an intrusion alarm by automatically presenting still video images of the zone of the alarm at or about the time of the alarm. The operator can control magnification and contrast to enhance the displayed image. In one system the displayed images are images taken at times both before and after the alarm was received by the monitoring system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring and adjusting output of a heat lamp for an optical TLD reader includes an optical system which matches the optical system of the TLD reader, means for supporting a heat lamp to be calibrated, and an element plate having at least one heat absorbing substrate supported in alignment with the optical system. The heat lamp is electrically connected to a lamp driver circuit of the TLD reader, and a thermocouple is mounted in thermal contact with the heat absorbing substrate. In use, the lamp driver circuit of the TLD reader drives the heat lamp mounted in the calibration and adjusting device. This device monitors the signal generated by the thermocouple and displays this signal as a measured heat response curve. This measured heat response curve can be compared with a `standard` or reference heat response curve to determine whether the lamp driver circuit has been adjusted properly for the heat lamp being tested, and to determine the nature of any required adjustments.

Abstract: In a mobile electric power generating system, means for mounting a power plant to a trailer bed are disclosed. Such means include a transition piece having a top flange adapted to be mounted to the power plant, a bottom flange, and intermediate plate means disposed between the top and bottom flanges. The intermediate plate means are arranged to absorb some of the twisting forces necessarily associated with the movement of the trailer bed. Means are further provided to secure the bottom flange of the transition piece to a main rail of the trailer bed without imparing the integrity of the main rail.
