Abstract:
A method of assisting in compliance by entities with various governance requirements using an independent third party information system. Entity data with respect to entities is entered for storage in a entity database in a computer memory. A rules database contains compliance rules codifying the internal or external governance controls applicable to the entity in question and predefined workflow events will be triggered, including the creation of alerts or information to users or subscribers of the system or the conduct of other specific tasks, based on the comparison of specific entity data uploaded to the entity database to the compliance rules and associated governance controls determined to apply to the entity in question. The independent nature of the system provides a level of comfort for parties relying on the data contained within the entity database. Apparatus and software for implementation is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a target gas includes the step of traversing a target area with a gas-filter correlation radiometer having a field of view oriented towards the target area. The gas-filter correlation radiometer receives reflected radiation in a passband from the target area and produces gas-filter correlation radiometer signals from the received reflected radiation. A surface reflectivity spectral profile of the target area is determined. The presence of the target gas in the target area is then determined based upon the received reflected radiation and the surface reflectivity spectral profile of the target area.
