    Abstract: A method of determining auto-calibrating information of a test sensor includes providing an optical read head that includes a light source, a light guide and a detector. The read head forms an opening that is sized to receive a test sensor. The detector includes a linear-detector array or single detector. A test sensor is provided having apertures formed therein. The test sensor is placed in the opening of the optical read head. Light is transmitted from the light source through the apertures. The light transmitted through the apertures using the detector or detecting the absence of light being transmitted through the test sensor using the detector is detected. The detected light or the absence of detected light information from the detector is used to determine the auto-calibration information of the test sensor.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for normalizing detected emission data collected in real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and other reactions, are provided. In some embodiments, a sample plate can be loaded with a fluorescent dye and subjected to a real-time PCR reaction. During the initial cycles, detected emissions that correspond to the background signal contributed by the plate, buffer, and other non-reactant pieces of the reaction system and chemistry can be identified. The raw emission data can be normalized by dividing the emission data by the identified baseline signal. According to various embodiments, the normalized amplification profile can normalize to an initial value of 1, because the actual signal emerges from the baseline at the point exponential growth begins. A normalized amplification profile based on a ratio to the baseline can create a more uniformly scaled amplification curve across different samples, filters, wells, dyes, or machines.

    Abstract: An optical monitoring system for determining the constituents of a sample or specimen. An absorption spectrum is obtained from a sample and is passed through one or more filters having a specified absorption spectrum defined by a single atom or a compound. If the filter's absorption spectrum is included in the sample's absorption spectrum, then the sample contains that atom or compound. The apparatus includes a switching assembly that sequentially places one or more filters into the light path to determine if the subject atom or compound is contained in the sample.

    Abstract: A hole inspection system having a light source emitting light over its length and a multi-axes machine having a camera mounted thereon. After the light source is inserted into a cavity intersecting the complex holes, a control commands the multi-axes machine to move the camera to an inspection position associated with one of the complex holes. The control processes substantially only light intensity values received from the camera that represent light shining through the one of the complex holes. Next, a maximum intensity value of light received by the camera from the one of the complex holes is determined. The maximum intensity value is compared to a threshold value, and error data is created that identifies the one of the complex holes in response to the maximum intensity value being less than the threshold value.
