Abstract: A spectrometer includes a pair of crossed reflective gratings to effect a spectrally dispersed beam that is focussed to an array detector. The second grating is a plural grating with a surface formed of a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a groove density for effecting ultraviolet in the dispersed beam. The second portion has a groove density for effecting visible radiation in the dispersed beam. A shutter blocks or exposes the second portion of the grating surface so as to select the first spectral range or the second spectral range for detection. The plural grating surface preferably may be contoured to compensate for aberrations in focussing of the beam to the detector. A computer may be used for selecting spectral lines for analysis, particularly selecting such lines in the second range that are not interfered with by the first range.

Abstract: A computer system (10) includes a information type source file, an information value file and a dynamic dialog box processor. The information type source file includes a plurality of text entries in, for example, ASCII text form, which can easily be edited by an operator. The information value file includes a plurality of value entries each for storing a value used in other processing by the computer system. The dynamic dialog box processor uses the text entries from the information type source file to generate a dialog box for display to an operator, and receives information values provided by an operator in connection with respective information text entries to update the values in the value entries in the information value file. Since ASCII text entries in the information type source file can be easily edited, the particular types of information to be provided through the dynamic dialog box can be easily modified by the operator with a minimum of programming and debugging effort.

Filed: 1996-07-29
Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging system, a read gradient scaler  (102)  scales the amplitude and width of read gradients  (78, 82, 84) . A sampling rate control  (104)  controls the sampling rate of the resonance signals received from corresponding magnetic resonance echoes  (80, 54, 86) . For example, when the amplitude of the gradient pulse is doubled and its width halved, the sampling rate of the resultant magnetic resonance signal is doubled, e.g., from a bandwidth of 3210MHz to a bandwidth of 64 MHz. In this manner, some echoes are read-out over a longer period of time with a lower bandwidth to produce lower signal-to-noise data lines; whereas, other echoes are much shorter and are read-out more quickly, but with a lower signal-to-noise ratio. The phase-encoding gradients  (74, 88, 90)  are controlled  (70)  such that the resultant data lines with the lowest bandwidth have the lowest phase-encoding angles closest to the zero phase-encoding and the data lines with the highest bandwidth have the highest phase-encoding angles closest to the negative and positive maximum phase-encoding gradients. The data lines are sorted  (110)  by phase encode angle and bandwidth and reconstructed  (120)  into an image representation.

Abstract: A self-testing data communications system suitable for use with an alarm system. In a first aspect the communications system is capable of modifying an operational parameter such as the input signal sensitivity of a receiver located at a monitoring station during receipt of a supervision signal from a remote alarm device, in order to ensure that a non-supervision alarm signal will be properly received when the operational parameter is again returned to its normal state. In a second aspect, the receiving element of the communications system is capable of receiving the message simultaneously at two different sensitivity levels, and during a supervision message, the lower sensitivity path is used in order to ensure that non-supervision alarm messages are received with an adequate signal margin. In a third aspect, the receiving element of the communications system is capable of measuring the signal strength (RSSI) of the received message signal and comparing it, if it is a supervision message, to a predetermined threshold value. When the supervision RSSI signal is above the threshold, the received message is passed to the control as being validly received; when the supervision RSSI signal is not above the threshold, then the message is ignored.
