LightPath Technologies CEO Sam Rubin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commercial release of the company's newest BlackDiamond-NRL infrared glass, BDNL-4. This material represents a significant advancement and is a crucial component of the chalcogenide glass series licensed from the US Naval Research Laboratories (NRL), serving as a substitute for Germanium. Rubin explained to Proactive that BDNL-4 possesses a negative thermo-optic coefficient, a critical characteristic for creating athermalized systems. This feature enables the design of devices that remain unaffected by temperature changes. Furthermore, BDNL-4 is a genuine multi-spectral material suitable for use across short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and long-wave infrared (LWIR) imaging bands. LightPath offers antireflective and protective DLC coatings for all its Chalcogenide materials, including BDNL-4. After years of development at NRL, BDNL-4 is exclusively licensed to LightPath. The company anticipates that BDNL-4 could become a pivotal material for thermal cameras used in drones and other systems requiring operation across a wide range of temperatures. This launch is particularly significant in light of export restrictions imposed on Germanium and Gallium by China, underscoring the strategic importance of BDNL-4 as a viable alternative. #proactiveinvestors #lightpathtechnologiesinc #nasdaq #ltph #InfraredInnovation, #OpticalTech, #SamRubinCEO, #ThermalImaging, #OpticsManufacturing, #AdvancedMaterials, #TechSolutions, #InfraredOptics, #OpticalEngineering, #DefenseTechnology, #MaterialScience, #SupplyChainInnovation, #GeopoliticsTech, #CameraSolutions, #LensTechnology, #HighTechOptics, #FutureOfImaging, #TechIndustryLeaders, #OpticalSystems, #EmergingTechnologies, #TechInsights, #IndustrialOptics, #TechDisruption, #NextGenMaterials#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

There is always something at work within us, working upon us. We sense this at various times in our lives, again. It is often what inspires one to take up a spiritual journey, in hopes of knowing it more intimately and connecting with it more deeply. As we journey along, there are times when we are in touch with it directly, but it doesn't last, fades away, leading us to seek it out once again, reaching back for when it was and/or moving onward and reaching forward for when it will come around again. And there are times along the journey when we are in touch with it directly and fully, so much so that words can't adequately express it and understanding can't encompass it fully, and it remains, abiding, deepening. However it is met and experienced, it is always right here, functioning fully, effortlessly, endlessly. Yes, as the workings within us and upon us, and as the workings of us: in all we do and all we are, we are the working itself.Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/apalmr)

Night Vision for preppers: Own the night and see bad things before they can see you. These are the phrases often used to describe the technology for tactical applications. And it's an enticing premise. Who wouldn't want the advantage and superpower of seeing in the dark? It would be a game changer should polite society ever skid out of control. But many preppers end up with sticker shock as soon as they begin investigating night vision. And is seemingly creates a perceived need out of reach for most. And most preppers don't stop to ask if night vision makes sense. It could easily become an expensive toy that sits in a drawer only to be occasionally played with and never pressed into services as a life-saving tool. So this brings up the question: How do you decide if night vision for preppers makes sense? And what generation is even worth the investment? And then there's thermal. The mind swirls with indecisiveness. We'll clear this up. ~ Night Vision for Preppers Topics Discussed: * Usable Night Vision Generations * Why Gen 1 Sucks * Why Autogating is a must for urban applications * Thermal Imagining * Swooning for SWIR imaging * Highbrid Thermal and Night-vision systems * Tactical applications and use for night-vision ~ Become a supporting member here: http://www.itrh.net ~ Resources from this episode can be found at: http://www.intherabbithole.com/e219

This lecture will provide an overview of atmospheric correction approaches for remote sensing of water properties for open oceans and coastal waters. Beginning with definitions of some basic parameters for describing ocean and atmosphere properties, the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for ocean‐atmosphere system will be introduced and discussed. Various methods for solving RTE, in particular, the successive‐order‐of‐scattering method will be described. We examine various radiance contribution terms in atmospheric correction, i.e., Rayleigh scattering radiance, aerosol radiance (including Rayleigh‐aerosol interaction), whitecap radiance, sun glint, and water‐leaving radiance. Atmospheric correction algorithms using the near‐infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands will be described in detail, as well as some examples from MODIS‐Aqua measurements. The standard NIR atmospheric correction algorithm has been used for deriving accurate ocean color products over open oceans for various satellite ocean color sensors, e.g., OCTS, SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS, etc. Some specific issues of atmospheric correction algorithm over coastal and inland waters, e.g., highly turbid and complex waters, strongly absorbing aerosols, will also be discussed. The outline of the lectures is provided below.

Coal fires cause severe environmental and economic problems. Although satellite remote sensing has been used successfully to detect coal fires, a satellite data based concept that can quantify the majority of the detected coal fires is still missing. Recently, the determination of fire radiative energy (FRE) has been introduced as a new remote sensing tool to quantify forest and grassland fires. This thesis tests the concept of remotely measured FRE, with a view to ascertaining its potential applicability to coal fires. It contains an investigation of a new generation of satellite instruments, including the operational Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) instrument, the experimental Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) satellite sensor and the experimental Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), which explores the potential of these sensors to determine coal fire radiative energy (CFRE). Additionally, based on the results of this analysis, the thesis presents a new, automated ETM and ASTER data based algorithm, adapted to quantify coal fires in semi-arid to arid regions in northern China. Field observations carried out in September 2002 and 2003 in three coalfields in northern China (the Wuda, Gulaben and Ruqigou coalfields) demonstrate that coal fire related, surface anomalies are significantly cooler than forest and grassland fires. The theoretical investigation of the ASTER, ETM and BIRD instruments outlines the fact that the thermal infrared (TIR) or mid infrared (MIR) spectral channels of the ASTER, ETM and BIRD instrument are particularly effective in registering these ‘warm spots’, whilst the short wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range is, however, insufficiently sensitive to be able to register spectral coal fire radiances. The commonly used bi-spectral fire quantification method (Dozier, 1981) can be applied to BIRD data in order to quantify relatively large and / or hot coal fires. However, existing FRE retrieval approaches fail to quantify coal fires via ASTER and ETM instrument data. In this thesis, a new CFRE retrieval method is presented, which links the fire and background TIR spectral radiances to the CFRE through an empirical relationship. This newly developed TIR method is applied to visually detected fire clusters from night-time ASTER data, and from both day- and night-time ETM data, taken from the three study coalfields in northern China. The ASTER and ETM CFRE values, calculated via the TIR method, are compared to CFRE estimates from BIRD data, calculated via the existing bi-spectral method. Despite the different spatial resolution and spectral properties of the ETM, ASTER and BIRD instruments, CFRE computed from ASTER, ETM and BIRD data show good correlations with one another. However, CFRE retrievals from daytime data appear to be very undependable to background temperature variations, while CFRE, estimated from night-time data, appears to be relatively stable. A comparison between night-time ETM-derived CFRE and the figures given by local mining authorities for total coal fire induced, coal loss estimates in the Wuda coalfield gives a clear indication that the overall dimension of the coal fire problematic can in fact be approximated via satellite data CFRE retrievals. It is thus expected that CFRE derived from night-time satellite data will become a crucial tool in obtaining reliable, quantitative information for coal fires. A multi-temporal comparison of CFRE retrievals from night-time BIRD and ETM data, covering the Ruqigou and Wuda coalfields, indicates that only major shifts or activity changes in coal fire induced, surface anomalies can be observed by means of these data. These results, which could only partially be verified by field observations, indicate that ETM or BIRD data can be used to monitor major changes in coal fire related, surface anomalies. These data however cannot entirely replace detailed field observations, especially in case of smaller and / or cooler coal fire related, surface anomalies.
