Abstract:
A body fluid constituents measurement device, which performs measurement under a setting where light intensity of the light-emitting element is suitably stabilized, is provided. The present invention is a body fluid constituents measurement device which comprises: a light-emitting element that emits light onto a test paper onto which body fluid is spotted, a light receiving element which receives reflected light of the light emitted by said light-emitting element, a temperature measurement unit which measures the ambient temperature in the vicinity of said light-emitting element, a determination unit which determines conditions of light emission based on said temperature measured at said temperature measurement unit in order to stabilize light intensity of said light-emitting element, and a driving control unit which controls driving of said light-emitting element based on the conditions of light emission; and is characterized in that it starts measurement of body fluid constituents after the light intensity of light emitted by said light-emitting element has been stabilized.

Abstract:
Apparatus (20) for remote laser-based detection of a analyte in a remote target region (4); comprising a reference container (8) for housing a reference substance identical with the analyte; a laser unit (1) which constituted to emit a laser beam of a tuneable wavelength towards the target region (4) to be analysed and along a reference path which passes through the reference container (8) for detecting the reference substance; a laser control means (12,16,17) constituted to control wavelength of the laser beam during detection periods such that the laser wavelength is changed to allow detection of an optical absorption profile of the analyte during detection periods; an analytical detection unit (15, 16, 12) which detects light from the target region and generates analytical signals during the detection periods, a reference detection unit (10,16,12) which detects laser light passed through the reference container and generates reference signals during the detection periods; and an analysing means (12) constituted to analyse the similarity of the analytical and reference signals or of one or more calculated functions respectively calculated from the analytical and reference signals for determining the concentration of the analyte in the target region.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gas sensor arrangement comprising at least one radiation source emitting radiation, a gas measuring chamber which may be filled with a gaseous analyte containing at least one analyte to be measured, and comprising at least one detector device which detects the radiation and generates an output signal depending on the presence and/or the concentration of the analyte. In order to provide an improved gas sensor arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset which ensures, in a particularly simple manner, long-term stable operation of the arrangement even over long periods of time, the control device (120) comprises a power detection unit (128) which may be operated to measure the electrical output taken up by the at least one radiation source (102).
Abstract:
A fourth embodiment of the present invention is a method of generating a temperature compensated absorbance spectrum. The method includes the steps of: a. providing a sample spectrum and an estimated temperature of a backdrop object (176); b. from a set of known temperature spectra related to a known background temperature, selecting at least two known temperature spectra representing a background temperature above and below the estimated temperature (178); c. comparing the sample spectrum to the known temperature spectra in order to determine a sample background spectrum (179); and d. calculating an absorbance spectrum from the sample spectrum and the background spectrum (181).
