    Abstract: A multi-channel measurement device for measuring properties of human tissue, may comprise a microcontroller and first and second source/sensor complexes. The first source/sensor complex may include a first housing having a first measurement portion, a first light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion, and a first plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the first measurement portion. The second source/sensor complex may include a second housing having a second measurement portion, a second light sensor coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion, and a second plurality of light sources coupled to the microcontroller and exposed to the second measurement portion. The first and second source/sensor complexes are coupled to each other such that the first measurement portion is opposite the second measurement portion and human tissue may be placed between the the first and second measurement portions. The microprocessor is configured with instructions stored in non-volatile memory to individually activate each of the light sources of the first and second pluralities of light sources and to record light intensity detected by the first and second light sources while an individual light source is activated. Each combination of an individually activated light source and one of the first and second light sensors provides a distinct measurement channel for measuring the absorption spectra of human blood and tissue.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system estimating channel power, and monitoring a frequency spectrum characteristic. A method for estimating channel power includes extracting frequency spectrum information from a received signal, so as to obtain a frequency spectrum of the received signal, estimating power of a central channel in the frequency spectra according to a power value of a flat area of the central channel, and estimating power of a neighboring channel in the frequency spectra according to a power value of a flat area of the neighboring channel. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, the power of the central channel and the power of the neighboring channel may be estimated by using only frequency spectrum information obtained by a single optical receiver, so as to quantitatively evaluate influence of a power imbalance effect, thereby ensuring precision of the power estimation, and reducing effects of nonideal factors on the estimated values.

    Abstract: Optical computing devices may include capacitance-based nanomaterial detectors. For example, an optical computing device may include a light source that emits electromagnetic radiation into an optical train extending from the light source to a capacitance-based nanomaterial detector; a material positioned in the optical train to optically interact with the electromagnetic radiation and produce optically interacted light; and the capacitance-based nanomaterial detector comprising one or more nano-sized materials configured to have a resonantly-tuned absorption spectrum and being configured to receive the optically interacted light, apply a vector related to the characteristic of interest to the optically interacted light using the resonantly-tuned absorption spectrum, and generate an output signal indicative of the characteristic of interest.
