    摘要: Methods and apparatus for in vitro detection of an analyte in a body fluid sample using low resolution Raman spectroscopy are disclosed. The body fluid analyzer includes a disposable strip for receiving a sample of body fluid on a target region, the target region including gold sol-gel to provide surface enhanced Raman scattering. A light source irradiates the target region to produce a Raman spectrum consisting of scattered electromagnetic radiation that is separated into different wavelength components by a dispersion element. A detection array detects at least some of the wavelength components of the scattered light and provides data to a processor for processing the data. The results of the processed data are displayed on a screen to inform a user about an analyte within the body fluid sample.

    摘要: Method and devices for fuel characterization and optimization on-site at a fuel delivery dispenser are disclosed. Fuel properties associated with a fuel sample of a fuel can be measured by mid-infrared analysis and displayed. Pre-determined preferred values for the fuel properties for the particular vehicle can be determined by inputting the model and type of vehicle into a processing means and correlating the vehicle information with the preferred values. The preferred and measured values can be compared and the comparison displayed. A fuel sample rating for the vehicle can be performed based this comparison and displayed. An optimal dispenser fuel for the vehicle can be identified based on a comparison between the preferred values and the values for the fuel properties for each of the dispenser fuels. In one embodiment, driveability index can be the fuel property determined in situ and in real time. In other embodiments, octane number, and Reid vapor pressure can be similarly determined.

    摘要: Systems and methods for non-invasive blood analysis are disclosed in which blood is illuminated at a plurality of discrete wavelengths selected from the near infrared spectrum. Measurements of the intensity of reflected or transmitted light at such wavelengths are taken, and an analysis of reflectance or transmittance ratios for various wavelengths is performed. Changes in the ratios can be correlated with specific material properties, such as the concentration of cholesterol in a subject's circulatory system.

    摘要: Systems and methods for non-invasive blood analysis are disclosed in which blood is illuminated at a plurality of discrete wavelengths selected from the near infrared spectrum. Measurements of the intensity of transmitted or reflected light at such wavelengths are taken, and an analysis of transmittance or reflectance ratios for various wavelengths is performed. Changes in the ratios can be correlated with specific near infrared (IR) absorption peak for the analyte which varies with concentration of the analyte (the data wavelength) and the a second (reference) wavelength being sufficiently removed from the first so that measurements of light absorption at this second wavelength are relatively insensitive to the concentration of the analyte and yet the second wavelength is sufficiently close to the first wavelength to minimize interference from scattering effects and the like. Typically, the window bracketing these closely spaced wavelengths will be less than about 300 nm and preferably less than about 60 nm wide and, in some instances, more preferably less than about 30 nm wide.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus for measuring a property of a sample using low resolution Raman spectroscopy. The apparatus includes a multi-mode laser element, a wavelength dispersion element, a detector, and a processor. The multi-mode laser element irradiates a sample with laser radiation to produce a Raman spectrum. The collection element collects the radiation scattered from the molecules of the sample and transmits the scattered radiation to the dispersion element. The dispersion element disperses the scattered radiation into different wavelength components. The detection array detects the different wavelength components. A processor processes data from the detector array to identify a constituent or to measure a property of the sample. The apparatus preferably has a resolution of between 30 cm.sup.-1 and 50 cm.sup.-1. The resolution of the apparatus being determined in part by the spectral full width at half maximum of the multi-mode laser, and, in part, by the dispersion element.

    摘要: Methods for marking a liquid and methods and systems for identifying marked liquids. A liquid can be marked for identification purposes with at least a first marker and a second marker. Each of the markers is miscible with the liquid. The markers are mixed in the liquid so that the ratio of the concentration of the first marker to the concentration of the second marker is substantially equal to a predetermined value. Thus, when a system according to the invention measures the concentrations of the first and second markers, the system can compare the ratio of the measured concentration of the first marker to the measured concentration of the second marker with a look up table of the predetermined values to provide information concerning the identity of the liquid. In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the markers is measured using an absorption spectrometer. When using an absorption spectrometer to measure the concentration of the markers, each of the markers has an absorbance spectrum with at least one wavelength range where the marker's absorbance is differentiable from the absorbance of the background liquid and any other marker in the liquid.
