Abstract:
Disclosed is a composite particle for use in a marking that is suitable for identification/authentication purposes. The particle comprises at least one superparamagnetic portion and at least one thermoluminescent portion and optionally also a thermoconductive portion between the superparamagnetic and thermoluminscent portions.
Abstract:
To use an object information acquiring apparatus that has: a plurality of detection elements (300) that detect acoustic waves generated from an object irradiated with light from a light source (100) and output electric signals; a supporting member (400) that supports the plurality of detection elements so that the axes of directivity of at least part of the detection elements gather; an inputting unit (700) that receives an input of a measurement condition from a user; a selecting unit (500) that selects at least part of the plurality of detection elements in response to the measurement condition input by the user; and a processing unit (600) that acquires property information on the inside of the object, using electric signals output from the selected detection elements.
Abstract:
A gas sensor is proposed, which can detect a gas by a novel configuration while reduction in size is achieved. The gas sensor (1) does not need a light absorption path as in a prior art so that the size can be reduced correspondingly. Further, in the gas sensor (1), a gas is absorbed in an ionic liquid (IL), and a dielectric constant of the ionic liquid (IL) that changes by absorbing the gas can be measured according to a change in light intensity that occurs by a surface plasmon resonance phenomenon in a metal layer (7). Thus, the gas sensor (1) including the novel configuration that can detect a gas based on the change in the light intensity can be realized.
Abstract:
A system for measuring analytical reactions comprising a socket (51, 57) which is suitable for holding an optode array chip (40).The socket comprises electrical contacts that mate with electrical contacts on a chip when such a chip is inserted into the socket. The socket furthermore permits fluid from a fluidics system (33) and illumination from an illumination system (53) to be for delivered to a chip when such a chip is inserted into the socket. The socket may be of the clam shell type.

Abstract:
An optical pulse generating apparatus that supplies pump light and probe light includes a light source and a modulation unit configured to modulate light emitted from the light source, thereby dividing the light into the pump light and the probe light. The modulation unit is configured such that a frequency for modulating the light is variable. The modulation unit changes a difference between a moment of the pump light incident on an object and a moment of the probe light incident on the object by changing the frequency.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and system, implementing and using techniques for detecting a presence of one or more target analytes in particular regions of interest of one or more samples. One or more samples including objects and one or more target analytes are provided. Some of the target analytes are labeled with a fluorophore and are bound to some of the objects in the samples. The samples are illuminated with fluorescence inducing light and fluorescent light is collected from one or more regions of the one or more samples. At least one anisotropy measurement of the samples is performed to identify regions of interest where one or more target analytes are bound to the objects. The collected fluorescent light from the regions of interest is analyzed to determine a presence of target analytes that are bound to the objects in the one or more samples.
