Abstract: Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using near infrared and mid infrared radiation is used to detect the presence of organic chemical compounds in gems. Suitably, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformation spectroscopy is employed to detect the presence of organic compounds in gems using mid infrared and near infrared radiation. The apparatus uses an integrating sphere or integrating cylinder with a probe that acts as both a source of near infrared radiation and a detector of reflected diffuse internal energy from the gem. Alternatively, the integrating sphere or integrating cylinder is replaced with a reflective fluid which surrounds the gem and causes total internal reflection.

Abstract: A method of verifying the color and tinting strength of a manufactured batch of a semi-transparent wood stain. In accordance with the method, a standard batch of the wood stain is formed and then mixed with a specified amount of a white colorant to form a standard measurement batch. A test sample of the manufactured batch is obtained and is also mixed with a specified amount of the white colorant to form a test measurement sample. Layers of the standard measurement batch and the test measurement sample are formed on the substrates and complete hide obtained. Reflectance measurements of the layers are made using a spectrophotometer. The reflectance measurements are used to determine if the color and the tinting strength of the manufactured batch is within an acceptable deviation range of the color and tinting strength of the standard batch. This allows for objective color difference and tint strength difference calculations, and adjustments can be made therefrom, therefore eliminating the past visual trial and error methods.

Abstract: An individualized modeling equation for predicting a patient's blood glucose values is generated as a function of non-invasive spectral scans of a body part and an analysis of blood samples from the patient, and is stored on a central computer. The central computer predicts a blood glucose value for the patient as a function of the individualized modeling equation and a non-invasive spectral scan generated by a remote spectral device. If the spectral scan falls within the range of the modeling equation, the predicted blood glucose level is output to the patient. If the spectral scan falls outside the range of the modeling equation, regeneration of the model is required, and the patient takes a number of noninvasive scans and an invasive blood glucose level determination. The computer regenerates the individualized modeling equation as a function of the set of spectral scans and corresponding blood glucose values.

Abstract: A curved mirrored surface is used to collect radiation scattered by a sample surface and originating from a normal illumination beam and an oblique illumination beam. The collected radiation is focused to a detector. Scattered radiation originating from the normal and oblique illumination beams may be distinguished by employing radiation at two different wavelengths, by intentionally introducing an offset between the spots illuminated by the two beams or by switching the normal and oblique illumination beams on and off alternately. Beam position error caused by change in sample height may be corrected by detecting specular reflection of an oblique illumination beam and changing the direction of illumination in response thereto. Butterfly-shaped spatial filters may be used in conjunction with curved mirror radiation collectors to restrict detection to certain azimuthal angles.
