This study proposes the temperature compensation algorithm using thermopile detector for non-dispersive infrared Nitrogen gas sensor. From the output voltage of thermistor that is attached onto the infrared detector, the ambient temperature was extracted. The effects of temperatures on the properties of sensor module characteristics of narrow bandpass filter, optical cavity and infrared lamp, and air mixing gas have been introduced in order to implement the temperature compensation algorithm.

A systematic analysis of 18 stimulants and narcotic analgesics containing nitrogen atom (s) in human urine by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detector (GC-NPD), is described. The urinary extract with diethyl ether at pH 8.5 showed good recoveries of the drugs and less interference peaks on GC chromatogram. Retention data were standardized by the calculation of relative retention times using diphenylamine as the internal standard. The relative standard deviations of retention times were less than 0.1% for the within-run analyses. The response factor (RRF) of a drug relative to the internal standard was calculated. RRF decreased with increasing number of nitrogen atoms. This technique can be adapted to various analytical toxicology problems.

Thermal Imaging systems are reported to be crucial for fire fighting and beginning to be used by fire fighters. The performance of thermal imaging system is determined by both the radiation of infrared from the target and the attenuation of infrared signal in the optical path by the absorption, scattering, diffraction and reflection. In the scene of fire, water drops with various sizes such as vaporized water, wafer mist from sprinkler, and wafer to suppress the fire reside with various gas generated by burning. To measure the transmission of infrared radiation in the scene of fire, fire simulating system and thermal imagers with cooled detector which detects $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ infrared and uncooled detector fabricated by the MEMS technology which detects $8{\sim}12{\mu}m$ infrared. are made. With thermal imagers and Ire simulating system, the change of thermal image with respect to the change of visibility controlled with the burned fas was measured. It was found that the transmission of infrared was not reduced by the burned gas, which could be explained by the long wavelength of infrared ray compared with visible ray. However, the transmission of infrared ray was largely reduced by the combination of burned gas and water mist supplied by sprinkler. This is contrary to the results of calculated transmission through the pure water mist and shows that the transmission of infrared ray is mostly affected by the compounds of water mist and burned gas. In this case, it was found that the uncooled detector which detects $8{\sim}12{\mu}m$ infrared ray is better than cooled detector which detects $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ infrared ray for fire fighting.

In this study, we analyzed the LPG and LNG sensitivity measurement and voltage variation using catalytic type gas sensor characteristics in catalytic combustion type gas detecter sensors. gas detector shall operate as intended when exposed for 24 hours to air having a relative humidity of 0~85 percent at a temperature of $20[{\mu}m]$ and humidity of 45 percent at a temperature of $-10{\sim}40[^{\circ}C]$ the gas detecter sensors are to be subjected to operation for 210 days in an area that has been detemined to be equivalent to a typical residential atmosphere with an air velocity of 50 [cm/sec]. The source of energy for a gas detector sensors employing a supplementary basic circuit is energized from a separate source of supply direct applied voltage 2.1[V], 2.2[V], 2.3[V]. As a result, it was confirmed that the relative humidity and temperature by regression each analysis, compared to the LPG characteristic graph and methane characteristics graph by a relative humidity of 0 ~ 85 [%] at a temperature range of $-10{\sim}40[^{\circ}C]$ show a similar linear pattern on the whore.

Many incidents of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning have occurred because of people being unaware of its presence. There are currently available systems on the market, but they are limited to measuring CO in a certain area and lack vital functions. Additionally, little to no evidence-based information on their quality was available. Thus, a mobile application for detecting CO gas leakage in a vehicle and critical features to assist victims was developed. A usability and functionality test were conducted to determine the product's quality utilizing nine usability and six functionality task scenarios (n=5). Then, a System Usability Scale test was performed to obtain system satisfaction, usability, and learnability (n=50). The usability and functionality test shows that all the tasks given for both tests were 100% successful. The overall score obtained for SUS was 71.4, which indicates good acceptance and usability. Around 20% of respondents claimed that they would need the support of a technical person to be able to use the application and that they needed to learn a lot of things before they could use the application, which indicates the overall high learnability of the application. The result provides empirical evidence that the CO gas leakage detection mobile application is successful and receives good usability, functionality, acceptability, learnability, and satisfaction assessments. DetGas could benefit automobile owners and other stakeholders by mitigating the risk and harm associated with gas leaking that exceeds the safe limit.

Such carboxyl drugs as mefenamic acid, alclofenac, ketoprofen, cicloxilic acid and tolfenainic acid in rat plasma were determined by the gas chromatography flame photometric detector (GC-FPD). After methylthiomethyl (MTM) esterification with MTM-chloride in 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) catalyst, determination of these drugs by this method was tried and compared with that by the GC-flame ionization detector (FID) method in respect to sensitivity and effect of inteferences. The results showed it was possible to analyze with accuracy by this method because of specificity of the FPD, although these drugs were not separated from interferences in plasma on GC column. The GC-FPD method was more sensitive than GC-FID method and the minimum detectable amount of monocarboxylic drugs on 3%, QF-1 column was about 15fmol/injection.

Such sulfur-containing drugs as chlorpromazine, sulfonamides and thiazides were determined by gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (FPD) and flame ionization detector (FID). 0.6% QF-1 or 3% SE-30 on Chromosorb WAWDMCS were found suitable for drugs listed above. In the experimental conditions given maximum response the FPD response and the response ratio of FPD increased with the number of sulfur atom per molecule. It was possible to obtain a linear calibration curve from $10^{-9}$ / mole to $2{\times}10^{-8}$ / mole and to analyze variety of sulfur drugs by the calibration curve of one sulfur standard.

For the analysis of multiple-reaction intermediates for long-chain dicarboxylic acid biotransformation, simple and reproducible methods of extraction and derivatization were developed on the basis of gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) instead of mass spectrometry. In the derivatization step, change of the ratio of pyridine to MSTFA from 1:3 to 9:1 resulted in higher peak intensity (p = 0.021) and reproducibility (0.6%CV) when analyzing 32 g/l ricinoleic acid (RA). Extraction of RA and ω-hydroxyundec-9-enoic acid with water containing 100 mM Tween 80 showed 90.4-99.9% relative extraction efficiency and 2-7%CV compared with those with hydrophobic ethyl acetate. In conclusion, reduction of the pyridine content and change of the extraction solvent to water with Tween 80 provided compatible derivatization and extraction methods to GC-FID-based analysis of longchain carboxylic acids.

A method determining the plasma concentration of clotiazepam was developed by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with an ion-trap detector and was validated for applying pharmacokinetics to human volunteers orally taken 5 mg dose of clotiazepam. The detection limit was 1 ng/ml and the limit of quantitation was 5 ng/mt. Intraday reproducibility and accuracy bias % were less than 8.2 and 10.2% with inter-day variations for those being within 7.0 and 13.8%, respectively. The recovery of clotiazepam was higher than 87%. The principal pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from the plasma concentration-time plot by non-compartmental or two-compartmental analysis. In non-compartmental analysis, the elimination half-life of 10.4 hr and the area under the curve of 651.3 ng hr/ml were determined, and the maximal concentration (158.6 ng/ml) in the plasma was obtained at 0.56 hr post-dose. The developed method can be appropriate to apply pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of clotiazepam.
