We describe the use of a combined gas chromatographic/infrared/mass spectrometric system to identify some common, clinically important drugs. Sensitivity for the serially configured combined system is demonstrated to be in the low nanogram range for strong infrared-absorbing compounds. Linearity for cocaine in the infrared detector was shown to have a correlation coefficient of 0.9914. Vapor-ph...

All common household devices are infrared compatible and have separate remote to control them. With the advancement of the society and smart home, the demand of home appliances are increasing resulting in the increase in remote controls for them. This paper proposes an approach to completely remove the remote and use our android mobile with infrared port facility to control the home appliances....

Eight luminous quasars with −30 < MB < −27 at z = 1.4 3.7 have been observed in the midand far-infrared using ISO. All the quasars have been detected in the mid-infrared bands of ISOCAM, while no far-infrared detections have been made with ISOPHOT. SEDs (Spectral Energy Distributions) from the UV to far-infrared have been obtained while supplementing ISO observations with photometry in the opti...

Some of the most ’active’ galaxies in the Universe are obscured by large quantities of dust and emit a substantial fraction of the bolometric luminosity in the infrared. Observations of these infrared luminous galaxies with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) has provided a relatively unabsorbed view to the sources fueling this active emission. The improved sensitivity, spatial resolution and ...

Far infrared radiation, a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum, is beneficial for long-term tissue healing, anti-inflammatory effects, growth promotion, sleep modulation, acceleration of microcirculation, and pain relief. We investigated if far infrared radiation is beneficial for renal proximal tubule cell cultivation and renal tissue engineering. We observed the effects of far infrared...
