Abstract: A hand-held portable modular spectrometer unit. The unit includes a detachable head containing a light source and optical components for detecting spectral information from light reflected from or transmitted through a target and a processor for converting the detected spectral information into digital information. The unit also includes a plug-in rechargeable power supply and a control module for controlling the components in the measurement head. The controller includes a computer processor for analyzing the digital information produced by the measurement head and a display monitor for displaying spectral information produced by the control unit. In preferred embodiments several measuring heads are available. Each of these measurement heads includes a spectrometer.

Abstract: Apparatus suitable for use in the treatment of waste and/or organic materials which includes a main body having a treatment chamber therein having a base which when the apparatus is in a harvesting mode is arranged with a space there below. The base includes a plurality of generally parallel spaced apart support elements, the support elements being spaced apart at a distance sufficient to support the material within the chamber during the treatment process and enable extraction of the treated material through the spaces between the support elements during a harvesting process. There is also disclosed a harvesting device comprising a plurality of extraction elements which are adapted to project through the spaces between the support elements to dislodge and extract the treated material through the base. The apparatus and harvesting device is particularly useful for removing worm casting in vermiculture.

Abstract: A LAN cable tester circuit is disclosed having measurement end circuit components and shorting end circuit components. The measurement end circuit components are conventional and include a multiplexer having a current source and voltage sensing circuitry electrically coupled thereto. The multiplexer also has a plurality of pairs of associated electrical conductors included in the cable under test coupled thereto. The shorting end circuit components include another multiplexer having the opposite ends of the electrical conductors coupled thereto, and further having a differential voltage amplifier and two current output differential amplifiers electrically coupled thereto. The shorting end circuit components provide for an active short that eliminates the effect of the on-resistance attributable to semiconductor integrated circuit multiplexers.
