Abstract:
A method and apparatus for characterizing and screening an array of material samples is disclosed. The apparatus includes a sample block having a plurality of regions for containing the material samples, a polarized light source to illuminate the materials, an analyzer having a polarization direction different than the polarization direction of the polarized light source, and a detector for analyzing changes in the intensity of the light beams. The light source, together with a polarizer, may include a plurality of light beams to simultaneously illuminate the entire array of materials with linearly polarized light so that characterization and screening can be performed in parallel. In addition, the materials in the sample block maybe subjected to different environmental conditions or mechanical stresses, and the detector analyzes the array as a function of the different environmental conditions or mechanical stresses.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for characterizing and scanning an array of material samples in a combinatorial library in parallel is disclosed. The apparatus includes a sample block having a plurality of regions for containing the material samples, a polarized light source to illuminate the materials, an analyzer having a polarization direction oriented 90.degree. relative to the polarization direction of the polarized light source so as to filter out light intensities having the same polarization direction as the incident light beams from the light source after illuminating the material samples, and a detector for analyzing changes in the intensity of the light beams. In one aspect, the light source in combination with a polarizer, includes a plurality of light beams to simultaneously illuminate the entire array of materials with linearly polarized light such that the characterization can be performed quickly. In another aspect, the materials in the sample block are subjected to different environmental conditions wherein the detector analyzes the array as a function of those environmental conditions.

An Anger-type scintillation camera system fitted with a gamma ray filter between the object under study and the detector and an output signal filter of the signal funneling type which employs a non-linear array of signal filter windows to compensate for inherent non-linear spatial response characteristics in the camera system.
Abstract:
Presence or location of an object is detected or movement thereof is controlled by projecting light at the location where the object or the edge thereof is expected and detecting transmitted or reflected light by a photoelectric responsive device. The photoelectric responsive device is connected to a circuit which actuates either an indicator of the location of the object in the illuminated field or actuates mechanism for readjusting the position or direction of the movement of the object. The effect of variations in ambient or extraneous light or flashes of light is overcome by pulsing the projected light at a suitable rate and causing the photoelectric response circuit to be responsive only to electrical currents having the same pulse wave form as the light source with means for synchronizing the electric detector circuit with the light source.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To take a measurement with high precision and reproducibility, to shorten the measurement time, and to automatic the measuring operation by utilizing the close relation of intensity fluctuations of the intensity of scattered light due to particulates with antigen-antibody reaction. CONSTITUTION:Laser luminous flux 2 from a light source 1 is separated by a half-mirror 3 into pieces 4 and 5 of luminous flux. Then, the luminous flux 4 is converted on a transparent cell 7 through a lens 6. The cell 7 contains buffer liquid in which particulates 9 having an antigen and an antibody coupled with surfaces are dispersed and antigen-antibody reaction liquid as a mixture of sample liquid containing an antigen or antibody, so the state of Brownian motion varies. Scattered light from particulates 9 is incident on a photodetector 11 through a collimator 10 and its output signal is supplied to a processor 14 through an amplifier 15 and a filter 16. Further, the luminous flux 5 is incident on a photodetector 8 and converted into a monitor signal showing variation in the output light intensity of the light source 1 and the signal is supplied to the processor 14 through an amplifier 13. The processor 14 processes the signals from the both and the measurement result is displayed 20.

Sixth to eighth holes (62-64) are so formed continuously in the second member (61) as to extend therethrough. The second member (61) is inserted into the fifth hole (56) and secured. A semiconductor light- emitting device (23) is inserted into the sixth hole (62). The tubular member (71) has first and second tubular portions (72, 73) and is inserted in the fourth hole (55). A lens (27) is secured between a step portion formed in the border between the second and third holes (53, 54) and the first tubular portion (72). A beam-shaping member (25) is secured between a step portion formed in the border between the fourth and fifth holes (55, 56) and the second member (61).
