  • Publication number: 20240271994
    Abstract: A gas and vapor analyzer system and method of detecting a gas or vapor sample are provided. An FTIR spectroscopy system of an analyzer system comprises an interferometer adapted to modulate an excitation signal. A gas cell is adapted to receive the modulated excitation signal and focus the modulated excitation signal within the gas cell via an input lens. An off-axis multiple reflection geometry is adapted to receive the focused modulated excitation signal and pass the focused modulated excitation signal through a gas or vapor phase specimen via a plurality of beam paths skewed relative to a longitudinal axis of the cell to generate an optical sample signal. An exit lens is adapted to direct the optical sample signal from the gas cell to an IR radiation detector, and a controller is adapted to identify a detected gas and vapor sample based on the optical sample signal.

  • Publication number: 20020167612
    Abstract: A device and method is provided for reducing flicker on a video display. The device may be incorporated into a video surveillance system having a number of cameras, monitors, a keyboard controller, a switch, and a flicker reduction circuit. The flicker reduction circuit processes dual interlaced fields of video data with a field FIFO memory area, a line FIFO memory area, and a logic unit. The field memory area acts as a delay to store the field previous to the field being processed, while the line memory area stores the least recent line input from the field memory area. The logic unit computes the flicker-reduced scan line intensity for a given scan line by averaging the given scan line intensity with the resultant scan line intensity average of the two immediately adjacent scan lines in the complementary field.

  • Publication number: 20020138368
    Abstract: A network-based method for configuring air circuit breakers includes receiving air circuit breaker specification information from a user and using a server to compare the received specification information with pre-stored information. The method also includes selecting at least one air circuit breaker that matches the received specification information and displaying to the user information related to the air circuit breaker. A network-based method also provides for selection of a various accessories for the selected air circuit breaker.
