    Abstract: A system includes a dishwasher, an image capturing device designed to capture an image of washware arranged in the washing chamber, with the image including a plurality of sub-images, each of which having different spectral information of the washware. An illumination unit illuminates the washware in the washing chamber, and an image analysis unit receives the captured image from the image capturing device and to carry out a chemical analysis of soiling on the washware based on the plurality of sub-images of the received image and to ascertain a dirt characteristic of soiling as a result of the chemical analysis. A control device carries out a washing program for washing the washware in the washing chamber. The control device receives the dirt characteristic from the image analysis unit and adapts the washing program for washing the washware as a function of the received dirt characteristic.

    Abstract: A multipass cell (300) comprising: a first reflector arrangement (305A, 305B); and a second reflector arrangement (307), the first (305A, 305B) and second (307) reflector arrangements defining an optical cavity (315) therebetween and the cell; wherein the first reflector arrangement (305A, 305B) is configured such that light incident on the first reflector arrangement (305A, 305B) is at least partially retroreflected towards the second reflector arrangement (307), wherein the second reflector (307) arrangement comprises a concave surface that is reflective, wherein at least one of the first (305A, 305B) and second (307) reflector arrangements comprises an aperture (306) for allowing light to enter and/or exit the optical cavity (315).

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods utilizing an infrared probe and discriminating software to rapidly discriminate abnormal tissue processes from normal tissue during surgery, physical examination of in-situ lesions, and in the assessment of biopsy and resected tissue specimens. Examples demonstrate discrimination of cancerous from noncancerous tissues. The discriminating software, i.e. the metrics, algorithms, calibrant spectra, and decision equations, allows tissue to be identified as abnormal or normal using a minimum of infrared (IR) wavelengths in order to be measured rapidly. The probe records IR metrics approximately 1000 times faster than current commercial instruments, i.e. on a timescale fast enough for clinical use. The probe uses a tunable mid-infrared laser with a small set of selected wavelengths that are optimized for detecting the chemical and molecular signatures of tissue specific lesions to include, but not limited to, cancer, preneoplasia, intracellular accumulations (e.g. steatosis), inflammation, and wound healing.

    Abstract: A concealment component for an optical sensor device includes an optical filter and one or more diffusive optical structures. The one or more diffusive optical structures are configured to distribute light in a diffused pattern on an input surface of the optical filter. The optical filter is configured to pass a first set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are associated with a particular wavelength range, and prevent a second set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are not associated with the particular wavelength range, from passing. Preventing the second set of light beams from passing is to cause the second set of light beams to be directed away from or absorbed by the concealment component in a concealment pattern.

    Abstract: A bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) measurement system and method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The BRDF measurement system includes: a blackbody, a spectroradiometer and a controller; where in case that the blackbody is heated to a target temperature, it undergoes a solid-liquid phase change; the spectroradiometer is used to measure the blackbody and transmit a first measurement signal to the controller, and in case that the blackbody irradiates a to-be-measured point on a sample surface, the spectroradiometer is further used to measure radiation from the to-be-measured point, and transmit a second measurement signal to the controller; and the controller is used to obtain a BRDF of the to-be-measured point based on the first measurement signal, the second measurement signal, the target geometric relationship, a target mapping relationship and a dimension parameter of the blackbody.

    Abstract: In a plasmonic structure, a first conductor layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductor layer are stacked in this order. The second conductor layer includes a plurality of conductor patterns that is two-dimensionally and periodically arranged, each of the plurality of conductor patterns having a circular shape or a regular polygonal shape. A diameter D of a circle circumscribed on each of the plurality of conductor patterns satisfies 200 nm≤D≤800 nm. A thickness g of the dielectric layer and the diameter D satisfy 0.3≤g/D≤0.6.
