Abstract: A method for determining variations in properties of a sample exposed to artificial weathering includes the steps of irradiating the sample at a wavelength substantially in the range of 295 to 400 nm in an intensity at least five times that of solar radiation, and continuously measuring intensity, spectral distribution or both intensity and spectral distribution of radiation reflected by or passing through the sample.

Abstract: Enclosure for an illuminating fixture used in operating rooms. The enclosure comprises an upper enclosure section and a lower enclosure section which are heat insulated from each other. The lower section contains an opening for the transmission of light from the light source enclosed in the fixture. The inner surface of the lower section has good reflection characteristics for infrared light. The inner surface of the upper section has good characteristics for absorbing infrared light. The outside (back) surface of the upper section has good characteristics for emitting heat.
