Enhanced radiometric forces
نویسنده
چکیده
Crookes’ Radiometer exploits thermal forces arising from temperature gradients in rarefied gases. This instrument has remained confined to educational physics because of the very small size of the radiometric effect and because of the necessity of an evacuated environment for operation. In this article the physics of this instrument is reviewed, different theories are compared and some general principles are derived. A method for enhancing the radiometric effect and for generating radiometric forces at higher pressures is proposed.

Detection of bacteremia in patients receiving antimicrobial therapy: an evaluation of the antimicrobial removal device and 16B medium.
A total of 1097 blood specimens obtained from patients receiving antibacterial antimicrobial agents were processed by three blood culture systems: standard aerobic and anaerobic radiometric media, resin-containing radiometric medium (16B; Johnston Laboratories, Cockeysville, Md.), and aerobic and anaerobic radiometric media inoculated with blood processed in an Antimicrobial Removal Device (Mar...
متن کاملProcedures for Radiometric Quality Control of Scanned Cir Images
In state-of-the-art orthophoto production aerial films are routinely scanned to a digital format using roll-film scanners. Scanning parameters for a large number of images are typically set subjectively based on only a few images and quality check is done visually after scanning. For further use, orthophotos are often radiometrically enhanced, but the criteria for these enhancements are mostly ...
متن کاملRadiometric Measurement Comparison on the Integrating Sphere Source Used to Calibrate the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)
As part of a continuing effort to validate the radiometric scales assigned to integrating sphere sources used in the calibration of Earth Observing System (EOS) instruments, a radiometric measurement comparison was held in May 1998 at Raytheon/Santa Barbara Remote Sensing (SBRS). This comparison was conducted in support of the calibration of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MO...
متن کاملEvaluation of Stray Light Correction for GOCI Remote Sensing Reflectance Using in Situ Measurements
The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) is the world’s first ocean color sensor in geostationary orbit. Although the GOCI has shown excellent radiometric performance with little long-term radiometric degradation and a high signal-to-noise ratio, there are radiometric artefacts in GOCI Level 1 products caused by stray light detected within the GOCI optics. To correct the radiometric bias, we...
متن کاملEffect of Spectral Change Width in Radiometric Normalization of Multitemporal Satellite Imagery Methodes Efficiency
Multitemporal satellite optical images of the same terrain are very applicable in monitoring and quantifying large scale land cover change over time. These images are confounded in terms of radiometric consistency due to differences in sensor calibration parameters, illumination, geometric condition and variation in atmospheric effects. To analyze these images, it is necessary to omit mentioned...
