Because of cooking smoke, fire dept came to my apt unit and they broke the door lock and also part of the door in order to enter the unit. It happend after I left my apt for work this morning. Oven range was not turned on, but the smoke touched the sensor located on the hallway wall and it is right beside my unit door. The apt manager is notorious, and I feel that they are going to blame me.Anyway, who should pay for the door repairing?
are you in mr chran's pod because this stupid assignment is killing me?
There are such things as microwave radiometers (not really heat sensing radars, more like microwave versions of infrared images), but they don't image very well. Infrared works much better for imaging applications. IR imagers are used in SR situations, a long time ago early prototypes located a group of climbers lost on Mt. Hood, Oregon. It's just there is a lot of infrared clutter and you have the same problems with IR imagery from a fast-moving aircraft you do with visual imagery. The main problem is that as the scene is flying past below you, the infrared radiance isn't high enough to generate a usable image that isn't blurred. So you have to use a helocopter, which cuts down on the search swath. In the Mt Hood instance, they knew roughly where the climbers were holed up in a snow cave and had the chopper circle looking for the faint signal. If they had had to scan the entire moutain they never would have found them. Google FLIR for some aircraft compatible IR systems.
someone being a wet blanket is like being the party pooper. stop being such a wet blanket. we are having a good time here.
They're short range. You'd still need to be relatively close.
