Abstract: A method of monitoring combustion properties in an interior of a furnace is described. A beam of light is projected through a pitch optic including a pitch collimating lens residing outside the boiler interior. The pitch collimating lens projects the beam through a penetration into the boiler interior. The beam of light projected by the pitch collimating lens is reflected from at least one in-furnace retro-reflector, and received with a catch optic substantially identical to the pitch optic residing outside the boiler interior. The pitch optic and the catch optic may be embodied in the same pitch/catch optic. The pitch collimating lens may also be steered toward another of the at least one in-furnace retro-reflectors. Combustion properties may be calculated for each retro-reflector based on retro-reflector zones within the furnace.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, methods, and computer-readable programs for display and tracking of legal activity are disclosed. The disclosed systems, methods, and computer-readable programs disclosed herein enable an entity, entities, individual, or individuals (e.g., enterprises, legal teams, audit teams, collection departments and others) to track legal activities performed in various cases within various court systems and to identify procedural patterns for each tracked case. In addition, the systems, methods, and computer-readable programs disclosed herein facilitate the display of procedural information important to each court case in a way to enable an enterprise to identify what has been performed in each case, what needs to happen next, sample forms that can used to initiate the next step, and the actual and predicted costs associated therewith.
