Abstract: A system and method to measure blood oxygenation levels and total hemoglobin on individually selected blood vessels, to provide a representation of the subject condition and of tissue perfusion that may be used for diagnosing specific tissue conditions. Reflection spectra from individual blood vessels or a collection of vessels are measured by using wide-field imaging for selecting target vessels and a narrow-field confocal detection system to enable measuring local blood oxygenation and hemoglobin. Optical fibers may be used to illuminate the target vessel and to detect light diffusively reflected therefrom. The reflection spectra may be analyzed in a spectrometer to extract the ratio of the deoxy- to oxyhemoglobin and to determine their absolute concentration for computing total hemoglobin levels. An alternative implementation uses image processing on camera images of a blood vessel, generated at an isosbestic wavelength of the deoxy- and oxyhemoglobin, and optionally also at neighboring wavelengths.

Abstract: Disclosed is a closed drift, narrow channel Hall thruster configured to operate at powers <30 W. The thruster includes a thruster body and a neutralizing cathode. The thruster body includes a magnetic circuit including a magnetic source and two magnetic poles, a metallic, annular thruster channel formed by the magnetic poles with a downstream channel width smaller than about 3 mm and an upstream channel width greater than the downstream channel width, an anode positioned at the channel's entry, and a gas distributor configured to release a propellant gas into the thruster channel. The magnetic circuit is configured to generate a magnetic field in the thruster channel for trapping electrons therein. The channel walls (the magnetic poles) are under bias potential. The anode and the cathode are configured to generate a substantially axial electric field in the thruster channel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flow-gate design that utilizes chemo-responsive colloidal particles to control the flow rate therethrough. The flow-gate operates by changing the compactness of the colloidal particles, which changes in response to changes in pH or ionic strength in the flow medium or the surrounding environment. The design also allows the flow-gate as a size-discriminating filter. The ability to control the flow rate in response to changes in the flow medium or the environment makes the presently provided flow-gate useful for a variety of applications, including those that require automatic control of the flow rate, and automatic irrigation.
