Abstract:
1. Apparatus for monitoring a system in which a fluid flows, and which is characterized by a change in the system with time in space comprising: A. a monitor for monitoring a preselected area or volume of a system in which a fluid flows and which is characterized by a change in the system with time in space to collect data at a plurality of preselected time points correlated to a system event; B. said collected data being in the form of signal intensities indicative of a system parameter to be measured that varies with time as a function of system wash-in behavior and system wash-out behavior; C. a processor for processing said collected data of signal intensities by D. a generator for generating from the outputs of said colorized grid points one of (i) a color intensity coded map, and (ii) a color hue coded map representative of said system parameter to be measured in two or three dimensions.
