Title: Optical transillumination and reflectance spectroscopy to quantify disease risk
Inventor: NIELSEN MICHELLE K
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: The present invention uses spectroscopic tissue volume measurements using non-ionizing radiation to detect pre-disease transformations in the tissue, which increase the risk for this disease in mammals. The method illuminating a volume of selected tissue of a mammal with light having wavelengths covering a pre-selected spectral range, detecting light transmitted through, or reflected from, volume of selected tissue, and obtaining a spectrum of the detected light. The spectrum of detected light is then represented by one or more basis spectral components, an error term, and an associated scalar coefficient for each of the basis spectral components. The associated scalar coefficient is calculated by minimizing the error term. The associated scalar coefficient of the each of the basis spectral components is correlated with a pre-selected property of the selected tissue known to be indicative of susceptibility of the tissue for the pre-selected disease to obtain the susceptibility for the mammal to developing the pre-selected disease.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de corriger l'exploration initiale du bit de départ d'une chaîne binaire sérielle d'un signal de sortie d'un filtre, en particulier d'un dispositif d'écriture/de lecture pour transmettre des signaux de données haute fréquence entre le dispositif d'écriture/de lecture et un support de données mobile. La chaîne binaire sérielle du signal reçu est filtrée au cours d'une durée de filtrage (F), et le signal de sortie du filtre est ensuite exploré au cours d'une première durée d'exploration (A1) et au cours d'autres durées d'exploration (A2) lors d'étapes de procédé ultérieures. Le filtrage du signal reçu débute lorsqu'un premier signal de flanc (par exemple, d'une transition 1-0) du signal reçu est détecté. Une perturbation est déterminée lorsqu'un second signal de flanc (par exemple d'une transition 0-1) du signal reçu est détecté avant la fin de la durée de filtrage (F). La durée (t) de la perturbation est détectée, la durée d'exploration (A1) est réduite d'un intervalle temporel (2t) et l'exploration du bit de départ et des autres bits d'information s'effectue au cours de durées d'exploration (A2), une fois la durée d'exploration (A1) réduite écoulée.
