    Abstract: Device for optically detecting smoke and implementing thereof. Apparatus and methods for detecting the presence of smoke in a small, long-lasting smoke detector are disclosed. Specifically, the present disclosure shows how to build a very compact housing around the smoke detector while keeping the reflections from the housing structure to a very low value while satisfying all the other peripheral needs of fast response to smoke and preventing ambient light. This allows very small measurements of light scattering of the smoke particles to be reliable in a device resistant to the negative effects of dust.

    Abstract: Device for improving an optical detecting smoke apparatus and implementing thereof. Apparatus and methods for detecting the presence of smoke in a small, long-lasting smoke detector are disclosed. Specifically, the present disclosure shows how to build one or more optimized blocking members in a smoke detector to augment signal to noise ratio. This is performed while keeping the reflections from the housing structure to a very low value while satisfying all the other peripheral needs of fast response to smoke and preventing ambient light. This allows very small measurements of light scattering of the smoke particles to be reliable in a device resistant to the negative effects of dust. In particular, geometrical optical elements, e.g., cap and optical defection elements, are disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring depth, position, and/or angle of a cannula in a medical drug delivery device. In particular, a drug delivery device having a cannula is positioned adjacent to tissue, a voltage pulse is provided to the cannula, a charge is measured at an electrode in the drug delivery device, and the depth of penetration of the cannula is determined based in part on the charge at the first electrode. Systems and methods described herein can be used to determine subcutaneous insertion depth in a wearable bolus injector. In some implementations, insertion depth determination is achieved through capacitive sensors which measure needle depth in a drug delivery device.

    Abstract: Techniques for optical detection of target chemicals on/in samples are disclosed. Light of at least two different wavelengths, or different bands of wavelengths, interacts with a target chemical, and at least some of the light that has interacted with the target chemical is incident on at least two photodetectors. Each of the photodetectors is configured to detect light of a different wavelength, or a different band of wavelengths, that has interacted with the target chemical. A processing logic is configured to compute a ratio between a parameter indicative of the intensity of light detected by one photodetector and a parameter indicative of the intensity of light detected by the other photodetector, and to determine the presence and/or the amount of the target chemical based on the computed ratio. In this manner, a simple, compact, and non-contact optical measurement assembly for assessing chemical content using differential spectral measurements may be provided.
