Abstract: There is provided a high-spatial-resolution dynamic diagnostic instrument which can provide simultaneous measurements of laser-induced frequency-domain infrared photothermal radiometric and alternating-current (ac) modulated luminescence signals from defects, demineralization, remineralization and caries in teeth intraorally. The emphasis is on the abilities of this instrument to approach important problems such as the detection, diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of carious lesions and or defects on the occlusal pits and fissures, smooth surfaces and interproximal areas between teeth which normally go undetected by x-ray radiographs or visual examination. The instrument is also able to detect early areas of demineralized tooth and or areas of remineralized tooth as well as defects along the margins of restorations. This capability of inspecting a local spot can be extended to a modulated imaging of sub-surface of target tooth by using a multi-array infrared camera. Two configurations of the instrument are presented.

Abstract: This application relates to communicating measurement data from a well. In one embodiment, an intermediate communications device passes data from sensors to a destination. A destination communications device applies a second transformation to the data received from the intermediate communications device. The transformations are designed such that meaningful data can be recovered at the destination communications device even though only a subset of the original transformed data has been received. In one particular embodiment, a downhole transformation is applied to measurement data collected by sensors in the well. The transformed measurement data is passed through an intermediate communications device that applies a lossy compression algorithm. Data received from the intermediate communications device is transformed based on application of the lossy compression algorithm so as to produce meaningful data at a destination communications device.

Abstract: In a biosensor of the present invention, BSA is contained in a reagent layer including a reagent which reacts specifically with glucose, and the glucose concentration in whole blood as a sample solution is electrochemically measured. When the sensor response characteristics when whole blood is used as the sample solution are measured, the influence by hematocrit to the sensor response characteristics is reduced according to the additive amount of BSA when the hematocrit value is in the range of 25%  and below, while no BSA addition effect is recognized in the sensor response characteristics when the hematocrit value is in the range of 25 to 65%. Thereby, the influences by hematocrit and temperature can be reduced, and thus highly precise measurement can be performed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of identity verification. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for verifying the identity of an individual. The method for verifying the identity of an individual includes the step of transmitting from a customer system to a customer connector server a request for identity verification containing identification information provided by the individual to be identified. At the customer connector server, at least one verification service required to satisfy the request for identity verification is identified from the request for identity verification. An appropriate data manager server from a plurality of data manager servers is selected for each verification service, based on a first set of predetermined criteria. A corresponding request for verification service is then transmitted to each appropriate data manager server. At each appropriate data manager server, at least one data access service required to permit the identification information provided by the individual to be verified against identity information relating to the individual contained within the at least one data source, is identified from the corresponding request for verification service. An appropriate data connector server from a plurality of data connector servers is thereafter selected for each data access service, based on a second set of predetermined criteria. Subsequently, a corresponding request for data access service is transmitted to each appropriate data connector server. At least one data source is accessed from each appropriate data connector server in connection with each request for data access service. The identification information provided by the individual is verified against the identity information relating to the individual contained within the at least one data source. Next, a response indicating whether the identity of the individual has been authenticated or not is generated and communicated to the customer system. A system for implementing such an identity verification method is also described.
