FTIR and MEMS Technology
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) Technology FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) or FTS (Fourier Transform Spectroscopy) is a sensor technology based on the Michelson interferometer. Historically the Michelson interferometer consists of two flat mirrors located at 90° to each other with a

Notes – Closed Systems
“In system-science terms, we say Earth is materially closed. The Earth is also energetically/informationally open: sunlight pours in, and information comes and goes.” “”Closed” means separated from the flow.” “”System” means interconnected. Things in a system are intertwined, linked directly
