摘要:
A sensor assembly that replaces a single focal plane array detector with two focal plane array detectors orientated with respect to each other such that a power splitter divides an incoming light source equally between each detector. The two detectors are selected such that the locations of poorly-operating pixels in each detector do not overlay. The output signals of each detector are then electronically or analytically combined to yield 100 percent operability. Separate switchable wavelength filter wheels having one or more different wavelength filters may be positioned between the power splitter and each of the detectors. The power splitter may be replaced by a polarization splitter. One detector can be translated perpendicular to the incoming light source relative to the second detector to compensate for new poorly-operating pixels and/or to improve the spatial resolution.

A system and method for rapidly aging using a closed system to process an unaged distilled spirit to produce rapidly aged spirits over a very fast period of time. A processing vessel dedicated to holding the unaged spirit and mixing the unaged spirit with charred wood staves is provided. A computer application is used to schedule the sequence of steps for a recurring period of time to age the unaged spirit. The closed system uses a first production tank and a second production tank that are partially filled with liquid and are connected to the processing vessel. Compressed pressurized air is added and released over a period of time to add and release pressure to the second production tank, and to influence the flow of oxygen between the second production tank and the processing vessel in order to age the contents of the processing vessel with minimal vapor loss from the aging spirit.

A device for the destruction of biohazardous converts harmful waste products into environmentally friendly discharge in compliance with environmental protection agency (EPA) standards. The device includes a waste disposal chamber where a crucible resides. The crucible contains a basket for holding the waste which is heated through induction coils that surround the crucible. The waste is vaporized and ionized in a vacuum forming a waste gas and drawn through a catalytic converter and a hot plasma jet via vacuum suction. The waste gas is then exhausted via a discharge duct where is it condensed by a heat exchanger further refining the waste gas into environmentally friendly molecules such as carbon dioxide. The waste destruction device further includes a programmable logic controller and user interface to control the device. Once the waste destruction process is completed, a compressor passes compressed air over the crucible to rapidly cool the crucible,

An abdominal workout assist device is disclosed. An elongated member and an attachment means are provided, and a support member is attached therebetween. The attachment means connects to the base of a door with the elongated member connected in parallel to the support member. In operation, the user inserts the device under a door and can perform standard abdominal exercises with the elongated member holding the user's feet on the ground. Additional exercises such as legs lifts can be done with the user holding the handles of the device while laying on their back and their arms extended back.

An electronic display may include a screen including an outer perimeter and front surface. A housing may include a trim ring that surrounds the outer perimeter and extends in front of the front surface of the screen. An optical sensor shield may be is positioned at least in part in front of the front surface of the screen. An optical sensor may be disposed between the optical sensor shield and the screen to reduce the ability for ambient light to illuminate the optical sensor.
