    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a point-of-purchase (POP) spectrophotometer for open-viewing of a color sample. The POP spectrophotometer includes a housing assembly containing an illumination optical system and an imaging optical system in desired orientation. Also provided is at least one of a second illumination optical system, a sheen detection system, and a camera system. The housing assembly includes a chassis in secure arrangement with a plurality of supports that define a target plane having a target location and that space the chassis therefrom. The chassis is configured to position the illumination, imaging, sheen detection, and/or camera systems in desired orientations relative to the target location and each other. The POP spectrophotometer can include an alignment device and/or targeting optics for facilitating user-identification of the target location, and means can be provided to enhance insensitivity to ambient light and/or depth variation of the color sample.

    Abstract: An apparatus is described for assessing plant status remotely sensed by the invention thereby allowing selective monitoring or treatment of individual plants. Additionally, the apparatus may be utilized for measuring the reflectance characteristics of soil or of objects in general. The apparatus utilizes a solid state light source to illuminate a plant canopy or object under investigation. An array of spectrally sensitive photosensors are incorporated into the apparatus to detect light reflected from a plant or object resulting from the integral light source. The instrument may be mounted to a vehicle, mounted to a tripod or held in the hand of an operator for use. A controller can be used in conjunction with the invention to analyze measured reflectance signals and can respond by activating a device to take some action with respect to the plant and/or object or store the analyzed signals with corresponding DGPS position in the controller's memory for later analysis.

    Abstract: A system for disabling an oximetric device when radiation-carrying channels are exposed to excess ambient radiation is disclosed. It includes a transmitter channel adjacent the sample to be measured, means for isolating the channel from the sample so that it does not carry radiation reflected from or transmitted through the sample, a detector for receiving the transmitted signal, if any, and means for disabling the output in response to the transmitted signal. Preferably, the transmitter channel runs parallel to other transmitter channels in the device, and is isolated from undue ambient light. The system preferably includes means for determining when the second transmitted signal exceeds background noise and the output is disabled when the second transmitted signal exceeds background noise. In general, the sample is a fluid, usually blood, passing through a cuvette adjacent the fiber-optic channels, the cuvette defining an area of radiation absorption adjacent the transmitter channel so that the transmitter does not carry reflected or transmitted radiation from the sample. Also disclosed is a fiber-optic sensor for measuring components of a composition by detecting transmitted or reflected, usually reflected, radiation including such a system, and the cuvette therefore. Finally, a method of disabling the output of an oximetric device when the fiber-optic channels are exposed to undue ambient radiation is disclosed.

    Abstract: An improved pulse oximeter apparatus and method for the measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood, which is faster and more accurate than conventional pulse oximeters. Improved speed and accuracy is attained by elimination of normalization and feedback circuitry and the use of analog to digital converting devices having a wide dynamic range along with a sophisticated computer analysis. The instant invention eliminates inaccuricies resulting from channel matching errors, and detects and eliminates aberrant input data.
