    摘要: Multichannel infrared detector assemblies for use in the detection and monitoring of gas concentrations are provided. The detector assemblies include a detector housing having a port for receiving infrared radiation therethrough; a substrate mounted within the detector housing, the substrate having three apertures therein to transmit radiation entering the detector assembly therethrough; a first, a second and a third thermopile detector fabricated on the bottom side of the substrate, the hot junctions of each thermopile detector positioned over one of the apertures in the substrate so as to receive radiation transmitted through the aperture, and the cold junctions of each thermopile detector positioned over the substrate; a first interference bandpass filter mounted on the top side of the substrate so that the first filter covers the aperture above the first detector and the first filter is interposed between the port and the first detector, the first interference bandpass filter designed to pass incident radiation at a first spectral band; a second interference bandpass filter mounted on the top side of the substrate so that the second filter covers the aperture above the second detector and the second filter is interposed between the port and the second detector, the second interference bandpass filter designed to pass radiation at a second spectral band; and a third interference bandpass filter mounted on the top side of the substrate so that the third filter covers the aperture above the third detector and the third filter is interposed between the port and the third detector, the third interference bandpass filter designed to pass radiation at a third spectral band. The disclosed infrared detector assemblies can be used in traditional NDIR gas sensors having an active source or in passive infrared analysis gas sensors which use a passive infrared temperature source and the space between the detector assembly and the source as the sample chamber.

    摘要: An apparatus for measuring the concentration of selected solute in a solution. This apparatus is particulary suitable for measuring the concentration of blood components, such as blood late Maillard products. A beam of exposing light is imaged through a wall of a containment vessel onto a region of the sample adjacent to this wall to induce from said selected solute emission of light that includes at least one emission peak that can be used to calculate the concentration of this solute. At least one detector is positioned to maximize the strength of detected signal, if other components of this solution strongly absorb the emitted light. The exposing light is directed such that the detected signal is maximized as a function of the path of this exposing light. A particular embodiment is a low-cost, non-invasive blood Maillard products concentration detector. In this embodiment, the containment vessel is preferably one of the patient's fingers. At least two additional detected signals are monitored and processed at wavenumbers suitable for eliminating temperatures and pressure effects on the calculated blood glucose levels.

    摘要: A radiation source is presented that exhibits an improved efficiency of converting input energy into a quasi-blackbody output beam. A wavelength selective element can be included to transit one or more narrow bands of this radiation for use in spectroscopy. The intensity of the output beam can be varied quickly, thereby decreasing measurement times and enabling synchronous detection techniques to be implemented at reasonable frequencies. A feedback mechanism can be integrated into this device to enable accurate control of the blackbody temperature. This radiation source can be manufactured by conventional integrated circuit manufacturing techniques, thereby producing an inexpensive quasi-blackbody source of accurately and repeatably controlled performance.

    摘要: The fire detector includes a carbon dioxide sensor and a microcomputer. When the rate of increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide at the sensor exceeds a threshold, an alarm is produced. The threshold is set at one of three possible levels by the microcomputer in response to the state of the atmosphere at the sensor as determined by the microcomputer based on several variables that are derived from the sensed concentration of carbon dioxide. The derived variables include the average concentration of carbon dioxide, the average rate of change of carbon dioxide concentration, the monotonicity of the increase or decrease of the carbon dioxide concentration and the range of concentrations sensed in each cycle of operation. The threshold setting is determined every ten seconds. In this way, the setting of the rate threshold is responsive to variations in the carbon dioxide level at the sensor that are caused by entities other than a fire, such as the presence or absence of people in a closed room.

    摘要: A catheter for delivering radiant energy, such as a laser beam, is used in a technique to controllably apply the radiant energy in a patient's body, such as in a blood vessel. The radiant energy is applied in a manner which erodes biological material and may be used to drill through vascular obstructions. The catheter emits the radiant energy from its distal end in a pattern which defines a relatively small working region in which the energy density level is sufficiently high to remove the biological material. The energy distribution is substantially uniform across the beam. Distally beyond the working region, the energy density of the beam decays sharply so that biological material beyond the working region is not removed.

    摘要: Apparatus for measuring the absorption of a gaseous sample and particularly suitable for measuring the concentration of gaseous oxygen makes use of a diode laser whose emission wavelength is adjacent to but spaced from the wavelength of a distinct absorption line. The diode drive current is altered to cause the junction temperature of the laser to change, thereby changing the wavelength of the emitted radiation and in effect scanning it through a range of wavelengths that includes the absorption line. The absorption is determined by a ratio technique and therefore is independent of changes in the laser output power level and drifts and changes in other parts of the optical system.

    摘要: A carbon dioxide analyzer for medical purposes is rendered self-calibrating by continuously measuring pairs of two or three each of several components as follows:1st pair: vacuum cell, open hole and sample cell reference cell, open hole and sample cell2nd pair: vacuum cell, standard cell reference cell, standard cell3rd pair: vacuum cell, open hole reference cell, open hole4th pair: vacuum cell, standard cell, sample cell reference cell, standard cell, sample cellThe ratios of these measurement pairs are treated mathematically in a computer or microprocessor to obtain a reading for CO.sub.2 and to correct other readings and to monitor the integrity of the standard cell. A novel two-wheel chopper and mirror arrangement facilitates the measurements.
