Each container can include temperature control systems, humidity control systems, fan arrays to emulate wind/turbulence, and a plurality of sensors to measure the current conditions within the container, all of which can be installed within the containers walls.

A vehicle compartment for a vehicle includes a screen through which an occupant can view portions of the environment ambient of said vehicle compartment, at least one panel, adapted to adjust the light intensity of light falling into said vehicle compartment via at least a portion of said screen, a light sensor and a control unit adapted to adjust the panel to thereby adjust the light intensity of light falling into said vehicle compartment in response to a signal issued from the light sensor.

The present disclosure sets forth a motion sensing outdoor security light with the flexibility of being mounted to either a wall structure or to an eave or ceiling structure. An adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may be provided with the rotationally adjustable outdoor security light, allowing easy adjustment of motion detection ranges under different mounting schemes without comprising the aesthetic design of the light. The adjustable spherical motion sensor housing may also provide an enlarged horizontal field of view for better performance.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a unique new approach to generating operating condition information used for assessing flow assurance and structural integrity. More specifically, apparatuses, systems and methods configured in accordance with embodiments of the present invention enable multiplexed arrangement of optical fiber for sensing of operating conditions within a structural member and utilize fiber optic sensors for enabling monitoring of operating condition information within one or more elongated tubular members. To this end, fiber optic sensors are strategically placed at a plurality of locations along a length of each elongated tubular member thereby allowing critical operating conditions such as strain, temperature and pressure of the elongated tubular member and/or a fluid therein to be monitored. A multiplexing unit is used for allowing selective configuration of individual lengths of optical fiber for creating one or more contiguous optical fiber structures.

An aim is to reduce the size of an optical sensor which detects radiated light such as phosphorescence radiated from a detection target excited by exciting light, and to increase a radiated light receiving surface of the optical sensor. An optical sensor is configured to be provided with: a light source which irradiates excitation light; a light detector which detects radiation light emitted from a detection target excited by the excitation light; and a single light guide unit which guides the excitation light to the detection target and guides the radiation light to the light detector.
