A cross-correlation fire sensor circuit includes detectors responsive to heat and light radiation, respectively. Electrical signals from the detectors are processed in two distinct channels through low pass filters and samplers. The sampled signals from the two channels are multipled together and the products are summed over a selected interval to provide a correlation function. This function is c...

In an apparatus for slit radiography a body (1) to be irradiated is scanned at least twice by means of a planar, fan X-ray beam (4) emitted from an X-ray source (1) via a slit diaphragm (2), the hardness of which beam increases with each next scanning motion. An X-ray detector (6) mounted behind the body collects the radiation passed, and sections of detection means (10) juxtaposed in the lon...

A method and apparatus for effecting vital functions notwithstanding the fact that non-vital hardware is employed. A vital processor is implemented using non-vital hardware in the form of a digital computer which may for example be a microprocessor.
