Inventor: YING JACKIE Y
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2006-12-15
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés de détermination d'un analyte. L'invention concerne divers procédés faisant appel à l'exposition d'un matériau luminescent (10) à un analyte. Dans lesdits procédés, lors de l'interaction avec l'analyte, une modification de luminescence peut être observée en fonction de la durée d'exposition à un rayonnement électromagnétique, permettant ainsi de déterminer l'analyte. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention fait appel à l'utilisation de nanocristaux semi-conducteurs hautement émissifs. Dans un exemple de l'invention, un nanocristal de ZnO semi-conducteur (20) forme un noyau qui est encapsulé dans une enveloppe amine (30). La photostabilité de la nanoparticule ainsi formée dépend de l'interaction avec des aldéhydes. La présence d'aldéhydes dans un échantillon peut, par conséquent, être révélée lors de mesures comparatives de photoblanchiment.

Abstract: Input measurements from a measurement device are processed as a Markov chain whose transitions depend upon the signal. The desired information related to the device can then be obtained by estimating the state of the signal at a time of interest. A nonlinear filter system can be used to provide an estimate of the signal based on the observation model. The nonlinear filter system may involve a nonlinear filter model and an approximation filter for approximating an optimal nonlinear filter solution. The approximation filter may be a particle filter or a discrete state filter for enabling substantially real-time estimates of the signal based on the observation model. In one application, a click stream (208) entered with respect to a digital set top box (200) of a cable television network is analyzed to determine information regarding users (205) of the digital set top box (206) so that ads (204) can be targeted to the users (205).
