Abstract: To detect flames burning carbon-free hydrogen-bearing fuels, first, second, and third sensors sense first, second and third regions of an infrared water emission band, and generate first, second, and third signals. A processor generates an alarm when the sensors indicate flame. The first region low cut-off wavelength may be lower than the second region low cut-off wavelength. The third region high cut-off wavelength may be higher than the second region high cut-off wavelength. The combined regions may include nearly the entire water emission band. The processor may discriminate distances to flames using the sensor signals. A fourth sensor may sense moisture concentration, and the processor may discriminate distances based thereon. The regions may be defined such that for a fire, all three regions receive substantial energy, with second region to first region energy ratio less than 1:1 and a second region to third region energy ratio less than 1:1.

Abstract: A method of transitioning stimulation energy (e.g., electrical stimulation pulses) between a plurality of electrodes implanted within a patient is provided. The method comprises selecting a plurality of stimulation output values (e.g., electrical current amplitude values) for each of the electrodes. The method further comprises selecting a plurality of different modification values for at least one of the electrodes, respectively multiplying the stimulation output values and the modification values to determine modified stimulation output values for the electrode(s), which may optionally be stored in a steering table, and incrementally transitioning the stimulation energy to or from the electrode(s) in accordance with the modified stimulation output values. The modified stimulation output values are stored in a steering table. The modification values may be selected in a manner that maintains paresthesia when transitioning the stimulation energy between the electrodes.

Abstract: A system and method for rapidly switching stimulation parameters of a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) system increases the number of stimulation parameter sets that may be tested during a fitting procedure, or alternatively, reduces the time required for the fitting procedure. The switching method comprises selecting a new stimulation parameter set, and setting the initial stimulation levels to levels at or just below an estimated perception threshold of the patient. The estimated perception level is based on previous stimulation results. The stimulation level is then increased to determine a minimum stimulation level for effective stimulation, and/or an optimal stimulation level, and/or a maximum stimulation level, based on patient perception.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing first and second imaging processes contemporaneously, in particular where one of the processes is detecting fires based on images of the flames. The apparatus includes an image sensor for producing a video image, a frame grabber for capturing first frames and second frames, a processor for processing the data within the frames, and an output device. The apparatus may also include an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the image settings of the image sensor between settings suitable for flame imaging and non-flame imaging, and a control mechanism for controlling the image settings of the image sensor. In the method at least two first frames are obtained, and a plurality of second frames are obtained. The first and second frames are used for first and second processes. The first and second processes are contemporaneous, so that they are carried out within the same time period without interfering with one another. When the first process is flame detection, individual pairs of pixels having a property such as intensity that meets a first threshold are identified within the first frames, and are assembled into blobs. Additional properties of the pixel pairs and the blobs overall are evaluated in relation with additional thresholds. Blobs or pixels that do not meet the thresholds are excluded. Any blobs remaining after all evaluations are considered fires.

Abstract: A system for detecting randomly occurring signals, particularly signals representative of a fire condition, having a radiation detector for receiving the signals, peak detector circuits for identifying the peak values of the received signals, peak duration signals for determining the time between adjacent peak signals, and a collection buffer for accumulating values representative of successive peak durations. The peak duration times are compared and evaluated to determine whether regularly occurring patterns of the received signals exist, or whether the received signals are randomly occurring, and an output signal is generated whenever the comparison indicates that the received signals are random in nature.
