摘要:
A method and apparatus for non-contact determination of liquid concentrations such as the content of water, oil, dye, paint, fuel, glue, etc., in a moving or stationary mass of production such as wood, paper, powders, fabrics, sand, bricks, concrete, plants, and the like, or in other liquids such as oil spills in water, is provided. The method comprises measuring the passive emissivity of a substance, using an imaging radiometer. It has been found that an emissivity image may be used to quantify the liquid content in a substance. The invented method allows for non-contact, rapid and continuous in-line measurements.

摘要:
There is described a system and method for the in vivo determination of lactate levels in blood using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or Near-infrared Raman Spectroscopy (NIR-RAMAN). The method teaches measuring lactate in vivo comprising: optically coupling a body part with a light source and a light detector the body part having tissues comprising blood vessels; injecting near-infrared (NIR) light at one or a plurality of wavelengths in the body part; detecting, as a function of blood volume variations in the body part, light exiting the body part at at least the plurality of wavelengths to generate an optical signal; and processing the optical signal as a function of the blood volume variations to obtain a lactate level in blood.
