    Abstract: An intra-oral imaging apparatus for obtaining an image of a tooth has an image capture apparatus with an imaging sensor that is energizable to obtain image data and one or more optical elements for directing light from the tooth to the imaging sensor. An illumination apparatus has one or more light sources energizable to emit light and a spatial light modulator that is configurable to shape an illumination beam from the emitted light. One or more optical elements relay the shaped illumination beam toward the tooth surface. A control logic processor in signal communication with the imaging sensor obtains image data and in signal communication with the spatial light modulator shapes the illumination beam according to the obtained image data.

    Abstract: Systems and tools for detecting the presence of a substance of interest is presented. The system utilizes a hyperspectral imaging camera to obtain images of an enclosed area, such as a vehicle. Vehicles can include cars, trucks, trains, or boats. The system also includes a processor and storage device. The processor receives the images taken by the hyperspectral imaging camera. Next, the processor determines whether such images contain certain substances. These substances include alcohol, carbon monoxide, illegal substances, and hazardous chemicals. The storage device is electrically coupled to the processor, and is used to store certain data information such as detection events, substance detected, and the time of detection. Such information can be sent over the internet, or streamed live to a laptop at a remote location. The present embodiment can be used by law enforcement to monitor vehicles of interest, and become an important part of public safety.

    Abstract: In a Raman spectroscopy apparatus, exciting light is focussed on a sample (26) as a line focus (38). Spectra from points in the line focus are dispersed in rows (46) on a CCD detector (34), having a two-dimensional array of pixels. The line focus moves longitudinally in a direction Y (arrow 48) relative to the sample. Simultaneously and synchronously, charge is shifted in a parallel direction Y' (arrow 50) within the CCD, so that data from a given point in the sample continues to accumulate. This ensures that the data from each sample point arises from illumination which is integrated along the line focus, and makes it easier to stitch the data together subsequently to form an image of the sample.
