Abstract:
Apparatus for controllably admitting a sample volume of engine exhaust into a bifurcated, closed-loop opacity chamber and wherein the exhaust sample is controllably directed away from the internal optics via symmetric flow inducing air guides. A pulsed light source is controllably directed through the opacity chamber and exhaust sample and the detected light is compared to a reference level so as to determine a relative measure of the sample's opacity. Attendant control circuitry permits the selected display of corresponding sample opacity and density values.

The electric device comprises an image detecting portion (6, 66, 127, 149) for receiving ultraviolet radiation and detecting an image from the received ultraviolet radiation and a display section (2, 32, 42, 52, 62, 82, 92, 102, 126, 147, 172) for displaying ultraviolet radiation information created from the image formed by the detected ultraviolet radiation by the image detecting portion.
Abstract:
An automatic chemical analyzer for the analysis of physiological samples. A scanning monochromatic spectrophotometer may be used to determine the absorbance of the sample under control of a central processing unit. Outputs from one of several ion selective electrodes may also be selected by the system. The information obtained from the measurements is stored in memory or ouputted to output devices. Information about the test parameters may be read from an optical bar code associated with the test kit for the particular chemical analysis.
