Abstract: Naphthalene, benzene, toluene, xylene, and other volatile organic compounds VOCs have been identified as serious health hazards. Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods and apparatus for near-real-time in-situ detection and accumulated dose measurement of exposure to naphthalene vapor and other hazardous gaseous VOCs. The methods and apparatus employ excitation of fluorophors native or endogenous to compounds of interest using light sources emitting in the ultraviolet below 300 nm and measurement of native fluorescence emissions in distinct wavebands above the excitation wavelength. The apparatus of some embodiments are cell-phone-sized sensor/dosimeter “badges” to be worn by personnel potentially exposed to hazardous VOCs. The badge sensor of some embodiments provides both real time detection and data logging of exposure to naphthalene or other VOCs of interest from which both instantaneous and accumulated dose can be determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hyperspectral imaging system for denoising and/or color unmixing multiple overlapping spectra in a low signal-to-noise regime with a fast analysis time. This system may be configured to carry out Hyper-Spectral Phasors (HySP) calculations to effectively analyze hyper-spectral time-lapse data. For example, this system may be configured to carry out Hyper-Spectral Phasors (HySP) calculations to effectively analyze five-dimensional (5D) hyper-spectral time-lapse data. Advantages of this imaging system may include: (a) fast computational speed, (b) the ease of phasor analysis, and (c) a denoising algorithm to obtain the minimally-acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An unmixed color image of a target may be generated. These images may be used in diagnosis of a health condition, which may enhance a patient's clinical outcome and evolution of the patient's health.

Abstract: An improvement is made to a non-Raman spectroscopy method and apparatus in which a quantum entangled transmission package formed in a quantum well in a laser is directed to a target and in which the apparatus receives emission packages from the target. A control circuit triggers the laser to emit a laser beam. The transmission package is sent via the laser beam by an emission fiber and the emission package is received by a collection fiber. The collection fiber and the transmission fiber may be included in a Raman probe. The collection fiber provides an input to a monochromator comprising a diffraction grating. The diffraction grating is constructed to permit selection of any of a wide range of wavelengths. A spectrometer receives an output from the diffraction grating. The spectrometer output is measured by a photomultiplier to provide an input to the control module. A number of different spectra are selectively generated. Also, the transmission package may be formed with a power level to affect structure of a preselected target.

Abstract: An organic compound analyzer is provided which is capable of highly accurately determining a denaturation feature point on which a minute structural change of an organic compound is reflected. The organic compound analyzer includes an actual measured data storage section, an evaluation criterion vector setting section, a score calculation section, and a change feature point determination section. The actual measured data storage section is configured to store in pairs a plurality of actual measured spectra obtained through measurement of a sample containing an organic compound under a plurality of different external stimulus conditions, and external stimulus conditions under which spectra are respectively measured. The evaluation criterion vector setting section is configured to set a loading that indicates weighting to individual wavenumbers at which the spectra are measured. The score calculation section is configured to calculate a score corresponding to the loading for each of external simulation conditions under which the spectra are measured, on the basis of the loading and the actual measured data. The change feature point determination section is configured to calculate a denaturation temperature of the organic compound on the basis of a change in the score with respect to external stimulus conditions.
