Teen solves centuries-old math problem
DANBURY, Conn., May 29 (UPI) -- U.S. company Smiths Detection announced the launch of its HazMatID Ranger, a new portable chemical threat identification technology.
The HazMatID Ranger is a variant of the company's trademarked HazMatID, deployed to identify solid and liquid threats by the emergency response community and the military. Company officials say the HazMatID Ranger offers a Fourier transform infrared analysis that provides spectral results, a list of probable substances and components in mixtures.
The HazMatID Ranger, supported by full-time technical assistance, is capable of identifying over 32,000 suspicious threats used by terrorists for improvised explosive devices, among other applications.
"Our products already lead the way in advanced security solutions for military and civil markets, but we are always seeking new opportunities to broaden our industry position," Stephen Phipson, Smiths Detection group managing director, said in a statement.
"The Ranger extends the versatility of our emergency response tool kit offering."
