    Abstract: In a spectroscopic analysis system, a broadband light source emits infra-red, visible or ultra-violet light which is transmitted through a fluid in a sample cell to a broadband detector. Changes in transmitted intensity are related to measurand in the fluid. A rotatable optical modulator or chopper, driven by an electric motor and located in the optical path, has light-transmissive optical elements, and non-transmissive regions. A non-contact magnetic field generator applies a magnetic field to the modulator or chopper to damp or brake the rotation. In an aspect, the modulator is an electrically conductive, non-ferromagnetic wheel, disc or cylinder in which eddy currents are induced. Optical elements may be apertures, filters, cuvettes, etc. A Hall effect sensor, rotary encoder, optical switch, etc. may determine angular speed or position of the modulator, and a PID controller may be used to maintain rotation speed at a setpoint by modulating an electromagnetic field generator.

    Abstract: The motion of a mechanical stage may be directed in x-, y-, and/or z-dimensions such that excitation of a resonant frequency f is reduced. In particular, once a resonant frequency f is identified, the acceleration of the stage in the x-, y-, and/or z-dimensions may divided into an even number of acceleration segments or intervals, with the second of each pair of acceleration segments starting 1/(2f) seconds after the start of the initial acceleration segment. The acceleration intervals may be defined by a start time, an amplitude profile, and/or a time duration. In some implementations, the amplitude and time duration of each acceleration pulse may be different. The amplitude and time duration of acceleration steps may be determined and adjusted to compensate for the particular resonance frequency of an individual system, and programmed into a controller for the stage using motor programming controls.

    Abstract: Improved gas leak detection from moving platforms is provided. Automatic horizontal spatial scale analysis can be performed in order to distinguish a leak from background levels of the measured gas. Source identification can be provided by using isotopic ratios and/or chemical tracers to distinguish gas leaks from other sources of the measured gas. Multi-point measurements combined with spatial analysis of the multi-point measurement results can provide leak source distance estimates. These methods can be practiced individually or in any combination.
