A calibration device receives at least a first multispectral measurement of: a first monochromatic signal taken at a first pixel location; a second multispectral measurement of a second monochromatic signal taken at a second pixel location; and a multiplicity of third multispectral measurements of a spatially distributed wide bandwidth dispersed spectrum, of a wide bandwidth signal, taken at a multiplicity of third pixel locations. The device relates known pixel values of wavelengths to pixel values of measured wavelengths. The device outputs spectrum wavelength and power calibration values for the multispectral imaging system, comprising at least a relation of: a first third pixel location to a first known wavelength; and a second third pixel location to a second known wavelength.

Imaging sensor calibration

A rotatable cord tensioning device is disclosed which is configured to include apertures for affixing one or more cords. Other apertures in the rotatable cord tensioning device are disclosed for securing the cord tensioning device in a rotated position. The rotation of the cord tensioning device tensions the cord by effectively shortening the length of the cord.

Drawstring tightener

An apparatus may include a separator and/or a discharger. A separator may include a separator channel, an influent portion configured to allow the passage of a first fluid into a separator channel, an effluent portion disposed above an influent portion and/or a fluid-lift portion between an influent portion and an effluent portion. A discharger may be disposed below a fluid-lift portion and/or may include a portion external to a separator channel, which may include a downward angle relative to an effluent portion and/or may be configured to minimize the passage of a second fluid into a discharger as the second fluid buoyantly travels in a separator channel from an influent portion to an effluent portion. A second fluid may have a density that is less than the density of a first and/or may be configured to lift a first fluid to a fluid-lift portion.

Separation apparatus and processes

Alkalinity determination, including an alkalinity determination process and/or alkalinity determinator. An alkalinity determination process may include providing a known value of volume of an acidic fluid, forming a titration system by providing one or more additions of a known value of volume of a relatively alkaline fluid to an acidic fluid, determining a pH value and/or a temperature value for one or more additions and/or determining an alkalinity value of a system by calculating a transformation including one or more determined pH values and/or temperature values of one or more additions. An alkalinity determination process may include modeling, such that an informed determination may be made with reference to relevant and/or irrelevant factors, as well as parameters to maximize likelihood of alkalinity determination. In embodiments, an alkalinity determinator may include one or more titration cells, one or more sensors and/or one or more alkalinity value determinators.

Alkalinity determination

Scrubbing systems and methods for removing carbon dioxide from a gas are provided. The scrubbing system can include a scrubber defining a vertically oriented tubing assembly, a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The tubing assembly has a tank section, a reduced diameter section, and an expansion section such that the expansion section is positioned above the reduced diameter section and the reduced diameter section is positioned above the tank section. An aqueous liquid-phase scrubbing media is contained within the tank section. The scrubbing system can further include a water bath configured to receive the CO-free gas exiting the scrubber.
