Abstract: A mid-IR spectrometer attachment performs reflection spectroscopy measurements using commercially available infinity corrected light microscopes without degrading the microscope's performance. The mid-IR spectrometer attachment, which is mounted to and supported by the visible light microscope, introduces infrared radiation into the optical path of the microscope. Radiation from the mid-IR spectrometer source is directed by a trichroic radiation director to a mid-IR objective lens affixed to the microscope nosepiece. The objective lens focuses the radiation on to a subject sample surface in order to acquire either internally or externally reflected infrared spectra by subsequently directing the sample encoded reflected mid-infrared radiation to the radiation director and then to a mid-infrared radiation detection system. The trichroic radiation director can reflect mid-IR, act as a beam splitter for near-IR and transmit visible light to allow the area of mid-IR spectroscopic analysis to be viewed in either visible light or near-IR.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an infrared radiation thermometer, in particular an ear thermometer, having a probe head (10) whose outer diameter and/or shape is variable by an elastic arrangement (4, 14, 24). This enables the probe head to conform itself automatically to the size and/or contour of the body cavity or to be conformed manually. The thermometer is therefore equally well suited for both children and adults, although their ear canals differ in diameter.

Abstract: A thermal imager system for use in a vehicle utilizes an uncooled microbolometer detector array (19), optics (13) for conducting scene radiation to the array within a sensor module (12) which is separate from an image processing and display unit (39), to provide a small, direct view sensor module (12) that may be oriented for forward viewing. The sensor module (12) is mounted external to the vehicle and the image processing and display unit (39) is mounted internal to the vehicle, and the two are connected by a noise immune bidirectional digital communication path or harness (37). The optics (13) consist exclusively of refractive optical components (14, 16) providing a straight line radiation path from the scene to the array (19).

Abstract: A process and system for flame detection includes a microprocessor-controlled detector with an array of sensors for sensing radiant energy from a fire or other heat source. A wide band infrared sensor is used as the primary detector, with near band and visible band sensors serving to detect false-alarm energy from nonfire sources. A narrow band sensor, such as a 4.3-micron sensor, is also employed in the sensor array, and assists in the detection of hydrocarbon fires. Digital signal processing is used to analyze sensed data and discriminate against false alarms. A multistage alarm system can be provided, which is selectively triggered by the microprocessor. Spectral recording and analysis of prefire data is provided for. The detector can be housed in an enclosed, sealed, removable, plastic housing that may include an integral plastic window lens.

Abstract: A process and system for flame detection includes a microprocessor-controlled detector with a first sensor for sensing temporal energy in a first optical frequency range, and a second sensor for sensing temporal energy in a second optical frequency range. The temporal energy sensed in the respective first and second optical frequency ranges are transformed into respective first and second spectra of frequency components. A compensated spectrum of frequency components is generated by performing a frequency bin subtraction of the first and second spectra of frequency components. The compensated spectrum of frequency components represents the energy emitted from the environment with energy emitted from false alarm sources. An average amplitude and centroid of the compensated spectrum of frequency components are obtained and used to determine if a monitored phenomenon represents an unwanted fire situation. The compensated spectrum of frequency components can be compared to reference compensated spectra of frequency components generated from known unwanted fire sources and known false alarm sources. This comparison can be facilitated by constructing a frequency space scatter plot from respective average amplitudes and centroids obtained from the reference compensated spectra. A fire detection boundary can be defined, which excludes substantially all of the false alarm sources. Inclusion of the unknown phenomenon within the fire detection boundary is indicative of an unwanted fire situation.

Abstract: A body temperature detector is particularly suited to axillary temperature measurements of adults. The radiation sensor views a target surface area of the body and electronics compute an internal temperature of the body as a function of ambient temperature and sensed surface temperature. The function includes a weighted difference of surface temperature and ambient temperature, the weighting being varied with target temperature to account for varying perfusion rate. Preferably, the coefficient varies from a normal of about 0.13 through a range to include 0.09. The ambient temperature used in the function is assumed at about 80° F. but modified with detector temperature weighted by 20%.
