Title: Method and apparatus for calibrating a spectrometer
Inventor: DAVIES ANTHONY MICHAEL CHARLES
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 1990-09-18
Abstract: A calibration moans suitable for, and intended for use in a spectrometer comprising a source 4 of electromagnetic radiation, a detector 16 suitable for detecting electromagnetic radiation from the source, recording means for recording the output of the detector and at least one optical element 8, 10 in the optical path between the source and the detector, comprises a variation means 18 to enable the input of electromagnetic radiation to the detector to be varied and an adjustment means 20 to adjust the variation means adapted so that the input of the detector substantially reproduces the input of electromagnetic radiation that the detector would receive in its normal operation from a sample which the spectrometer is intended to analyse. The variation means comprises an electrodiachromatic (liquid crystal) mask which during calibration using a ceramic standard 22 is controlled by a computer so that in each wavelength band the mask optical density is adjusted by reference to stored values.

IPC: B60L50/10
Filed: 1993-07-07
Abstract: An internal combustion engine 1 drives a plurality of generators 21, 22 at the same, variable, speed as one another, the generator 21, 22 having differing characteristics such that the minimum speeds at which they become effective to generate power are different to one another (Fig 2A). Generator 21 may start generating power at 1200 rpm and have maximum efficiency at about 2000 rpm, and generator 22 may start generating power at 2700 rpm and have maximum efficiency at above 3000 rpm, (Fig 2B). Generator 21, 22 charge a battery 5 via a rectifier 4. A controller 6 receiving power from rectifier 4 or battery 5 provides a.c. power at an adjustable frequency to an induction motor 7 which drives the automobile. Controller 6 also controls excitation of generators 21, 22 in response to the output voltage of rectifier 4. A control voltage for generator 21 may be lower than that for generator 22 so that the load current is predominantly supplied by generator 22 at a rated engine speed (eg. 3000 rpm). <IMAGE>
