The development, application and implementation of embedded software algorithms for pyroelectric gas level monitors

Abstract

The research described in this thesis has been carried out over a 20-month period as part of a college /industry partnership project. This project is a partnership between the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology and Monicon Technology, a leading manufacturer of gas monitoring instruments. The aim of the project was to research and develop an infrared-based gas monitor that makes use of innovative design methodologies in order to produce a product that would place Monicon Technology to the forefront of advanced gas monitoring .
