Presents a comprehensive introduction to the selection, operation, and testing of infrared devices, including a description of modern detector assemblies and their operation This book discusses how to use and test infrared and visible detectors. The book provides a convenient reference for those entering the field of IR detector design, test or use, those who work in the peripheral areas, and those who teach and train others in the field. Chapter 1 contains introductory material. Radiometry is covered in Chapter 2. The author examines Thermal detectors in Chapter 3; the “Classical” photon detectors – simple photoconductors and photovoltaics in Chapter 4; and “Modern Photon Detectors” in Chapter 5. Chapters 6 through 8 consider respectively individual elements and small arrays of elements the “readouts” (ROICs) used with large imaging arrays; and Electronics for FPA Operation and Testing. The Test Set and The Testing Process are analyzed in Chapters 9 and 10, with emphasis on uncertainty and trouble shooting. Chapters 11 through 15 discuss related skills, such as Uncertainty, Cryogenics, Vacuum, Optics, and the use of Fourier Transforms in the detector business. Some highlights of this new edition are that it Discusses radiometric nomenclature and calculations, detector mechanisms, the associated electronics, how these devices are tested, and real-life effects and problems Examines new tools in Infrared detector operations, specifically: selection and use of ROICs, electronics for FPA operation, operation of single element and very small FPAs, microbolometers, and multi-color FPAs Contains five chapters with frequently sought-after information on related subjects, such as uncertainty, optics, cryogenics, vacuum, and the use of Fourier mathematics for detector analyses Fundamentals of Infrared and Visible Detector Operation and Testing, Second Edition, provides the background and vocabulary necessary to help readers understand the selection, operation, and testing of modern infrared devices.

Breakthrough Solutions to Your Child's Wetting, Constipation, UTIs, and Other Potty Problems

It's No Accident

f your family is worn out from your child's struggles with bedwetting and/or daytime accidents, you will be grateful for The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition. The 4th edition is a vastly expanded and updated version of Dr. Steve Hodges' groundbreaking guide to resolving enuresis (bedwetting and daytime pee accidents) and encopresis (poop accidents). The book is for parents who are tired of waiting for their child to "outgrow" accidents and who think they have "tried everything." Experts at Mayo Clinic call M.O.P. "incredibly effective." Parents call it "life changing" and "a life saver." M.O.P. stands for the Modified O'Regan Protocol, named for Sean O'Regan, M.D., a pioneer in bedwetting research. The four-phase regimen, combining enemas and laxatives, has been modified by pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D., of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Published research shows M.O.P. is the only reliable solution to bedwetting and daytime accidents - far more effective than medication, bedwetting alarms, or Miralax. M.O.P. is based on a simple, proven fact: bedwetting is caused by chronic, severe constipation. Stool piles up in the rectum, pressing against the bladder nerves; only when the rectum is cleared out on a daily basis can it shrink back to size, stop aggravating the bladder, and regain the tone and sensation to full evacuate daily. The 4th edition of the Anthology includes Dr. Hodges' updated guidance on Ex-Lax, oil-retention enemas (the Double M.O.P. regimen), and large-volume enemas (M.O.P.+).The Anthology also includes tracking calendars for parents and children; "The Physician's Guide to M.O.P," created for parents to hand to their medical professionals; and "Answers to 53 Questions About M.O.P.," a compilation of helpful posts from Dr. Hodges' private Facebook support group for parents. New to the 4th edition: the introduction to "M.O.P. for Teens and Tweens," which offers bedwetting kids ages 10 to 18 encouragement and explanations they can relate to.
