摘要:
Apparatus for assaying an analyte in a patient's body comprising: at least one sensor unit mountable to a region of the patient's skin comprising at least one light source that illuminates a tissue region below the skin with light that generates photoacoustic waves therein and at least one acoustic transducer that generates signals responsive to the photoacoustic waves; and a control unit configured to be mounted to a different part of the body and comprising a controller for controlling the at least one light source and at least one acoustic transducer and receiving the signals generated by the at least one acoustic transducer.
摘要:
The present invention provides an optical unit (320) adapted to accommodate a sample and to enable optical detection of infection within said sample; said optical unit comprising a body (100); said body is characterized by a distal end and a proximal end interconnected via a main longitudinal axis; said body (100) comprising at least one mirror (50) coupled to said distal end; wherein said mirror (50) having a proximal and distal surfaces; said proximal surface faces said mask; said proximal surface is adapted to accommodate said sample.
摘要:
Some demonstrative embodiments of the invention include a system and a method for disinfection of a liquid including monitoring the disinfection process. The system may include a short-path light detector located in proximity to the illumination source to detect the intensity of light emitted from the illumination source at a short distance from the source. The system may include at least one additional long-path light detector located in proximity to the transparent walls of the conduit of liquid to be disinfected that detects light emitted from the illumination source after propagating in the liquid and exiting through the transparent walls.

The present invention provides a method for detecting and/or identifying specific bacteria within an uncultured sample. The method comprises steps selected inter alia from (a) obtaining an absorption spectrum (AS) of said uncultured sample; (b) acquiring the n dimensional volume boundaries for said specific bacteria; (c) data processing said AS; and, (d) detecting and/or identifying said specific bacteria if said m1 statistical correlation and/or said m features are within said n dimensional volume.
摘要:
This disclosure provides a method for detecting and/or identifying uncultured bacteria. The sample is an aerosol sample selected from a group consisting of cough, sneeze, saliva, mucus, bile, urine, vaginal secretions, middle ear aspirate, pus, pleural effusions, synovial fluid, abscesses, cavity swabs, serum, blood and spinal fluid. The method comprises obtaining absorption spectra (AS) of the sample, extracting and processing the acquired data, thereby detecting and/or identifying the bacteria.
