摘要:
In a luminescence detecting apparatus and method for analyzing luminescent samples, luminescent samples are placed in a plurality of sample wells in a tray, and the tray is placed in a visible-light impervious chamber containing a charge coupled device camera. In the chamber, light from the luminescent samples pass through a collimator, a Fresnel field lens, an infrared filter, and a camera lens, whereupon a focused image is created by the optics on the camera. The use of an infrared filter suppresses stray IR radiation resulting from plate phosphorescence (which can result in abnormally high backgrounds and/or alteration of the image received by the camera).

A flowing device for an optics-based methanol sensor includes an inner housing that surrounds the optics-based methanol sensor, an outer housing that surrounds the inner housing, a flow channel in the inner housing formed on a totally reflecting surface of the optics-based methanol sensor, a fuel inlet that is formed through the inner and outer housings and supplies liquid fuel to the flow channel, and a fuel outlet that is formed through the inner and outer housings and discharges the liquid fuel that has passed through the flow channel to an outside of the outer housing.

A method of monitoring pressure of a gas species up to at most a predetermined maximum pressure value is disclosed. The method includes exposing the gas species to transmission of laser light, periodically modulating the wavelength of the laser light over a wavelength band including at least one absorption line of the gas species, optoelectrically converting the transmitted laser light, thereby generating an electric output signal, performing at least one of first filtering the electric output signal with a filter characteristic having a lower cut-off frequency not lower than a transition frequency and of second filtering the electric output signal with a bandpass filter characteristic having an upper cut-off frequency not higher than the transition frequency and a lower cut-off frequency above the modulation frequency of the periodic wavelength modulation. The output of at least one of the filterings is evaluated as a pressure indicative signal.

A toxic gas sensor or device which is a cavity ring-down spectroscopy device having two or more mirror components. Each of the mirror components has two Brewster windows attached to it. The Brewster windows are resistant to toxic gases and together with the respective mirror form a hermetically sealed volume for the mirror surface to protect it from the environment or test gases. The Brewster windows may have a heating mechanism to remove contaminants, condensation, and provide temperature stabilization and other beneficial features.

The invention relates to a measuring device (1), preferably a test stand for engines and vehicles for analyzing exhaust gases of a combustion engine (2), comprising at least one exhaust gas supply line (3, 4), which can be connected to the exhaust system of the combustion engine (2) and which supplies at least one measuring branch (7, 8, 9) each provided with a respective analysis unit (12, 13, 14) for determining exhaust gas constituents. According to the invention, a filter device (16a to 16f) is provided in at least one cool measuring branch (9) upstream from the analysis unit (14) and/or between different components (14a, 14b) of the analysis unit (14) and/or on the output side of at least one analysis unit (12, 13, 14) of one of the measuring branches (7, 8, 9). This filter unit contains a filter material that is selective with regard to gaseous hydrocarbons, preferably a filter material selected from the group consisting of zeolites and/or silicates.

An apparatus for detection of the existence of a film on a surface comprises a lens, a light emitter and a light sensor. The light emitter is preferably disposed in spaced relation to the lens and is configured to emit light toward the lens such that the light is incident thereupon. The light sensor is also preferably disposed in spaced relation to the lens and is mounted adjacent to the light emitter. The light sensor is configured to measure light reflected back from the lens. The presence or absence on the film on the surface is based upon the amount (i.e., intensity) of light that is reflected back from the lens. The apparatus may further comprise a temperature sensor or atmospheric sensor for measuring a temperature of the lens and atmospheric conditions in order to determine whether conditions are appropriate for the formation of ice, frost and other frozen contaminants.

摘要:
The present invention aims at reducing background noise derived from a substance that is present in the vicinity of a target substance such as a DNA and protein and attached to the surface of a substrate without an effect on a fluorescent dye labeling the target substance. The substrate that has a probe and is capable of interacting with the target substance is irradiated with noise removing light such that an evanescent field is generated on the surface of the substrate. A target substance and a foreign particle, which are non-specifically stuck to the surface of the substrate, are decomposed by the evanescent field generated by the irradiation with the noise removing light. The evanescent field present near the surface of the substrate has almost no effect on the probe. It is possible to reduce the background noise derived from the substance that is present in the vicinity of the target substance and attached to the surface of the substrate and suppress effects on the probe and the target substance interacting with the probe.
