Abstract: A disc serving as a spatial radiation modulator has dispersed radiation filters thereon. Each filter has a transmittance or reflectance modulation function of the form sin2(mθ+pπ/4), where m is a positive integer and p has one of the four values 0, 1, 2, 3. A radiation beam including selected wavelength components is diffracted into an elongated image dispersed according to wavelength. Different wavelength components are focused onto different filters on the modulator and are encoded by correspond filters. Since the modulation functions of the filters are orthogonal to one another, it is possible to extract the amplitude of each wavelength component after it has been encoded or modulated by corresponding filter from the total detected signal during one measurement.

Abstract: A two dimensional color pattern which at each point has a definite and unique color value is reproduced on a measurement surface by way of a computer controlled display device for the optical marking of a target region on the measurement surface captured by a color measuring device. The color measuring device is aimed at the measurement surface and the color value of the target region captured by the color measuring device is measured. The coordinates of the target region on the measurement surface are calculated from the measured color value and an optical marker which visually indicates the location of the target region on the measurement surface is reproduced at that location on the measurement surface as defined by the calculated coordinates of the target region. Alignment of the color measurement device is simplified and made possible without the need for laser pointers or cameras.

Abstract: A common aperture, multi-mode optical imager for imaging electromagnetic radiation bands from a field of two or more different wavelengths is described. Fore-optics are provided to gather and direct electromagnetic radiation bands forming an image into an aperture of the multi-mode optical imager. The image is divided into two different wavelength bands, such as visible light and long-wave infrared. The first wavelength band (e.g., visible light) is detected by a first detector, such as a CCD array, for imaging thereof. The second wavelength band (e.g., long-wave infrared) is detected by a second detector, such as an uncooled microbolometer array, for imaging thereof. Additional optics may be provided for conditioning of the first and second wavelength bands, such as such as for changing the magnification, providing cold shielding, filtering, and/or further spectral separation.

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.
