Abstract The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics Chemicals (SHERLOC) is a robotic arm-mounted instrument on NASA’s Perseverance rover. SHERLOC has two primary boresights. Spectroscopy boresight generates spatially resolved chemical maps using fluorescence spectroscopy coupled to microscopic images (10.1 μm/pixel). second Wide Angle Topographic Sensor Operations eNgineering (WATSON); copy of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) that...
Cosmic rays can degrade Raman hyperspectral images by introducing high-intensity noise to spectra, obfuscating the results of downstream analyses. We describe a novel method detect cosmic in deep ultraviolet data sets adapted from existing ray removal methods applied astronomical images. This identifies as outliers distribution intensity values each wavelength channel. In some cases, this algorithm fails identify with high inter-spectral variance, uncorrected baseline drift, or few spectra....

Parker Hannifins IQAN electro-hydraulic control system was installed on four hydraulic trainers to be used for hands-on lab instruction. Each includes a MD3 display/controller, XA2 expansion interface module, and ICL joystick. The updated will teach students about mobile Controller Area Network (CAN) systems, pulse width modulation, proportional valves, sensors, wiring schematics components, software programming. is flexible enough enable instruction ranging from operations, calibration,...
The origin of the Cosmic Diffuse Gamma-ray (CDG) background in 0.3 to 30 MeV energy range is a mystery that has persisted for 50 years. best existing measurements have large systematic uncertainties, and latest theoretical models based on emission from active galactic nuclei supernovae differ significantly these data below 1 MeV.
