Abstract: An optical absorption gas sensor has an LED light source and a photodiode light detector, a temperature measuring device for measuring the LED temperature and a temperature measuring device for measuring the photodiode temperature. The sensor is calibrated by measuring the response of photodiode current at zero analyte gas concentration and at a reference analyte gas concentration. From these measurement, calibration data taking into account the effect of photodiode temperature on the sensitivity of the photodiode and, independently, the effect of changes in the spectrum of light output by the LED on the light detected by the photodiode with LED temperature can be obtained. Calibration data is written to memory in the gas sensor and in operation of the gas sensor, the output is compensated for both LED and photodiode temperature. The LED and photodiode can therefore be relatively far apart and operate at significantly different temperatures allowing greater freedom of optical pathway design.

Abstract: A microfluidic device is described herein which comprises a micron-sized deep flow channel and a sensor. The micron-sized deep flow channel is configured such that a sample solution and a reference solution flow side-by-side to one another in a single sensing region of the sensor. The single sensing region is divided into a detection region and a reference region which are contiguous to one another and which are respectively interfaced with the sample solution and the reference solution that flow side-by-side to one another in a longitudinal direction within the micron-sized deep flow channel.

Abstract: A correction LED is provided to illuminate a light receiving sensor array, and a calculation controlling circuit calculates correction values at the respective illuminance levels based on sensor output levels expected at the respective illuminance levels and actual sensor output levels while successively turning the correction LED on at a plurality of illuminance levels whose illuminance ratios are at least known, and corrects a sensor output level by the corresponding correction value to obtain a measurement output at the time of an actual measurement.

The non-linearity can be highly precisely and efficiently corrected in a measuring apparatus realized as a spectral luminometer or a spectral colorimeter without requiring a special facility.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for troubleshooting a plurality of photosensors in a machine, such as a mail sorter and mail inserter. The troubleshooting procedure is carried out by a software program. As each photosensor comprises a photo-detector and an associated light emitter for illuminating the photo-detector, the test is based on the output voltage of the photo-detector in response to a current value on the light emitter. Based on the two or more current values set to the light emitter and the corresponding measured output voltage values, the software program determines whether the photosensor is functional. If the photosensor is not functional, possible causes and suggested remedies are provided to the operator of the machine.
