  • How Glare Reduces Safety
    How Glare Reduces Safety The human eye is pretty amazing...enabling us to see in a broad range of lighting conditions from bright sunlight to pale moonlight. But the eye cannot function well when confronted with widely varying light intensities at the same time, nor when it is disabled by glare. Glare is the criminal's friend. How often have you turned out the light at night and noticed that after your eyes had a few minutes to “get used to the dark,” you could see much more around your bedroom than you’d been able to when the light first went off? Formally termed “adaptation,” this is the key to understanding how glare impairs vision and puts us in unnecessary danger. Inside the eye are two different types of light receptors--“rods” and “cones.” After the bedroom light went out, the pupils enlarged so that the eyes could make better use of what light was available. The extra-sensitive rods, which allow us to see in very faint light, were activated; they are located toward the edges of the retina, making them important to peripheral vision, and are especially sensitive to motion. Cones were at work while the light was still on, facilitating color discrimination and sharpness of vision; they are concentrated at the center of the eye. Many people who have not had occasion to look into the matter tend to assume that safety and “security” can be improved by very bright lighting--which usually entails substan- tial glare. But research claiming to demonstrate such benefits has been shown to be flawed.* The actual result of overbright, glary outdoor lighting is to impair our ability to see at night! The pupil contracts, and the rods shut down.

  • Development and Applications of Proton Transfer Reaction-Mass Spectrometry for Homeland Security: Trace Detection of Explosives
    DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF PROTON TRANSFER REACTION-MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR HOMELAND SECURITY: TRACE DETECTION OF EXPLOSIVES by Ramón González-Méndez, MSc A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Physics and Astronomy The University of Birmingham, UK February 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis investigates the challenging task of sensitive and selective trace detection of explosive compounds by means of proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). In order to address this, new analytical strategies and hardware improvements, leading to new methodologies and analytical tools, have been developed and tested. These are, in order of the Chapters presented in this thesis, the switching of reagent ions, the implementation of a novel thermal desorption unit, and the use of an ion funnel drift tube or fast reduced electric field switching to modify the ion chemistry. In addition to these, a more fundamental study has been undertaken to investigate the reactions of picric acid (PiA) with a number of different reagent ions. The novel approaches described in this thesis have improved the PTR-MS technique by making it more versatile in terms of its analytical performance, namely providing assignment of chemical compounds with high confidence.

  • Guide to Selecting Anti-Glare Contrast Filters
    GUIDE TO SELECTING ANTI-GLARE CONTRAST FILTERS By: George E. Drazinakis Bangor, PA BASIC FILTER FACTS The display filter (also serving as readout filter panel) is a vital point of interface between the information display system and the viewer. Since most information systems exist for the purpose of delivering visual information to viewers, thus permitting decisions to be made or actions to be taken, it is essential that communication between the imaging system and the operator is free of interference which could distort the message, delay its recognition, or create confusion. Various display technologies can be differentiated by whether the display produces light internally -emissive- for example, CRT, EL, LED or it functions by modulating externally produced light -transmissive- for example LCD. In a practical sense, displays are neatly divided into CRTs and flat panel displays. No matter what form of character generation the instrument panel employs – CRT, Liquid Crystal, EL, Plasma, Vacuum Fluorescent, LED, etc. – the primary consideration in design must be the facility of quick assimilation of the information presented. Character design, character size, stroke width, light output, and other parameters are, of course, very important. A major consideration beyond this, however, is the critical element which can greatly improve the readability of the display, or if improperly designed, can detract from its performance even to the extent of rendering it useless. This element is the optical filter which is located between the display and the operator. A filter is any device that when placed in the path of a beam of radiation alters its frequency distribution. The filter performs several functions.
