    Abstract: An air quality instrumentation system for a concentrated solar power generation system using a fluid heat transfer medium includes a pipe, a window and a spectroscope. The pipe extends from the concentrated solar power generation system and contains system air from within the concentrated solar power generation system. The window is positioned within the pipe to permit light to pass through the pipe and the system air. The spectroscope is positioned adjacent the window to assess concentration of a constituent within the system air, the concentration of the constituent providing an indication of an operating condition of the concentrated solar power generation system.

    Abstract: A Non-Dispersive InfraRed gas sensor has the LED radiation source and photodiode detector side by side in a dome shaped gas chamber. The mirror coated inner surface of the dome reflects light from the LED to the photodiode. The reflecting surface in one embodiment has a plurality of semi-toroidal sub surfaces, such that radiation originating from a point on the LED is unfocussed as it converges on the photodiode. The LED and photodiode may be mounted on a bridge printed circuit board extending along the diameter of the dome housing. The bridge height is adjustable during assembly to optimise the radiation's incidence onto the photodiode.

    Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of an object are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a source fiber optic and receive light from the surface of the object being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object being measured. Under processor control, the optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention. A method of producing prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a data base.
