Patent CA-2768913-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLVIN ARTHUR E
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: An optical-based sensor (10) for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte using both indicator and reference channels. The sensor has a sensor body (12) with a source of radiation embedded therein (18). Radiation emitted by the source interacts with indicator membrane (3) indicator molecules (16) proximate the surface of the body. At least one optical characteristic of these indicator molecules varies with analyte concentration.  For example, the level of fluorescence of fluorescent indicator molecules or the amount of light absorbed by light-absorbing indicator molecules can vary as a function of analyte concentration. In addition, radiation emitted by the source also interacts with reference membrane indicator molecules proximate the surface of the body. Radiation (e.g., light) emitted or reflected by these indicator molecules enters and is internally reflected in the sensor body. Photosensitive elements within the sensor body generate both indicator channel and reference channel signals to provide an accurate indication of the concentration of the analyte.  Preferred embodiments are totally self-contained and are sized and shaped for use in vivo in a human being. Such embodiments preferably include a power source, e.g. an inductor, which powers the source of radiation using external means, as well as a transmitter, e.g.  an inductor, to transmit to external pickup means the signal representing the level of analyte.

Patent CA-2774237-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HENG XIN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2010-09-14
Abstract: An optical system and associated method enable near real time optical phase conjugation. In the method, a translucent medium is illuminated by a sample illumination beam. Light scattered by the medium is directed to an electronic image sensor while a reference beam is also directed to the electronic image sensor. The scattered light and the reference beam form an interference pattern at the electronic image sensor. A digital representation of the interference pattern is recorded using the electronic image sensor, and the characteristics of a conjugate of the sample beam are computed from the numerical representation. A conjugate beam having the computed characteristics is generated using a configurable optical element and directed back to the translucent medium. The generation of the conjugate beam may be accomplished using a spatial light modulator.

Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter is disclosed. The converter includes a gradient correction module that generates a correction term based on a model of gradient error. The correction term is then applied to the signal path in the digital domain or applied to the output of the digital-to-analog converter in the analog domain. The model used to generate the correction term is based on a vertical gradient error in the array of current source elements, which may be modelled and calibrated using a second-order polynomial. Further, a digital-to-analog converter having a Nyquist DAC and an oversampled DAC is disclosed. When the oversampled DAC is enabled, the resolution of the Nyquist DAC may be increased while slowing the conversion rate.

Abstract: Water distribution system in a gasification reactor for performing a slag-forming entrained-flow process, wherein a concentric annular distributor in combination with an axis-symmetrical deflection surface concavely curved in its cross-section are provided for as water distribution system to form a water curtain, wherein the annular distributor has at least one water feed, and wherein the annular distributor has openings that are suitable for a jet-like water outlet, and wherein the direction of the jet from the openings points to the inside of the concavely curved deflection surface, and wherein the planar orientation of the concavely curved surface in the direction of the jet from the openings is so characterized that the direction of the jet and the tangential plane of the surface are aligned to each other at an acute angle ranging between 0 and 45 degrees at the point of impact of the jet, and wherein the deflection surface in its cross-section is so far curved that it has a deflection angle of more than 60 degrees. The procedure applied here provides for passing the water in pressurized state into an annular distributor which it quickly passes through until it leaves the annular distributor through openings, forming one water jet each when leaving through the openings, said water jet hitting onto a deflection surface, and each of the water jets being diverged as it glides along the deflection surface and combining with the water jet from the adjacent opening to form a closed water film, said closed water film being passed into the interior of the reactor after it has left the deflection surface in downward direction.
