Abstract:
The present invention aims at realizing a gas concentration estimation apparatus with versatility wherein the gas concentration estimation apparatus estimates concentration of a target component in an analyte gas by analyzing a light emitted from plasma of the analyte gas. The present invention is directed to a gas concentration estimation apparatus including: a plasma generation device that turns an analyte gas into a plasma state; and an analysis device that analyzes plasma light emitted from the plasma generated by the plasma generation device and estimates concentration of a target component in the analyte gas wherein the analysis device estimates the concentration of the target component based on luminescence intensity of a wavelength component corresponding to luminescence from a predetermined radical within the plasma light, and the predetermined radical is different in atomic structure from the target component and includes an atom or a molecule separated from the target component.
Abstract:
A system (10) for determining the concentration of an analyte in at least one body fluid in body tissue (52) comprises an infrared light source (20), a body tissue interface (34), a detector (58), and a central processing unit (78). The body tissue interface (34) is adapted to contact body tissue (52) and to deliver light (14) from the infrared light source (20) to the contacted body tissue (52). The detector (58) is adapted to receive spectral information corresponding to infrared light (56) transmitted through the portion of body tissue (52) being analyzed and to convert the received spectral information into an electrical signal indicative of the received spectral information. The central processing unit (78) is adapted to compare the electrical signal to an algorithm built upon correlation with the analyte in body fluid, the algorithm adapted to convert the received spectral information into the concentration of the analyte in at least one body fluid.
Abstract:
The invention makes it possible to measure a calorie by using near-infrared rays, thereby realizing calorie measurement of an object to be quickly and easily performed using a non-destructive method. A device of measuring calorie of an object includes an object holding unit (1) including a table (2) on which an inspection-target object (M) is placed; a light source unit (20) that supplies light in near-infrared regions to irradiate the inspection-target object (M) placed on the turning table (2); a light reception unit (30) that receives light reflected from or transmitted though the object (M); and a control unit (40) that calculates the calorie of the object (M) in accordance with the absorbances of the light received by the light reception unit (30). In the control unit (40), the calorie of object (M) is calculated in accordance with a regression expression and the absorbances of the light received by the light reception unit (30). In this case, the regression expression is preliminarily calculated in the manner that near-infrared rays are irradiated on a calorie known sample object (M), and multiple-regression analyses are performed on second derivative spectra at the absorbances of light reflected from or transmitted though the sample object (M).

Abstract:
An apparatus for imaging into or through scattering materials (17) includes a source (20) for producing a broadband laser reference beam (R) and a Stokes illumination beam (Si) correlated to the reference beam. The Stokes illumination beam is transmitted into the scattering material to obtain a Stokes signal beam (Ss) having a first image carrying component and a first nonimage component. The reference beam and the Stokes signal beam are then separately delayed (Rd, Sd) and polarized (Rp, Sp), after which they are combined to produce a combined beam (C) having a Stokes component and a reference component. A Stimulated Raman amplifier (30) responsive to the combined beam produces an amplified signal beam (A) in which the image carrying component has been amplified by a higher gain factor than the nonimage component.
