Abstract: A sensor kit for detecting an analyte. The sensor kit includes x indicator substances having a specific spectral response to the analyte, whereby 1?x?200. The sensor kit includes a substrate, which is to be illuminated on a first side and includes at least one indicator substance region arranged adjacent to a second side. Each indicator substance region is arranged for carrying one indicator substance and the substrate includes at least one indicator substance region for each indicator substance. A filter element is integrated with the substrate. The filter element includes at least one of each of n different filters, whereby 2?n?100. The filter element is arranged such that light firstly passes there through and thereafter through the indicator substance region(s). At least one of each of at least two different filters provides at least one indicator substance region with light when the substrate is illuminated.

Abstract: This invention relates to a practical low cost method and devices which exploits the benefits of several photo-assisted analytical techniques involving controlled light sources. The method comprise the use of a program controlled display (like computer, mobile telephones to TV screens) used as a light source for illuminating a detector specially suited to capture the light interaction with a test environment, allowing to generate distinctive spectra and chemical or biochemical images of the environment. Additionally, the information can be acquired in situ but immediately analyzed on line via internet.

Abstract: A new device and method allows simple transformation of a high resolution video image, still or full motion, into a number of segments, each of which can be converted to a standard NTSC or PAL television frame. Each frame can be encoded with information such as segment location and possibly time or other information and then stored or transmitted as a standard television signal. The original high resolution video image can be reconstructed by selecting each television frame and using the encoded information to reassemble the segments. The reconstructed image has full original resolution but, depending on the image, may not be able to reproduce motion at full speed.

Abstract: A video multiplexor-encoder and decoder-converter includes a video multiplexor and encoder for selectively receiving, time-division multiplexing and encoding multiple video signals representing multiple video images for transfer and simultaneous display thereof in a selected pattern of multiple video windows on a video display device, and further includes a decoder and video converter for receiving, decoding and converting an encoded, time-division multiplexed video signal for selective, simultaneous display of the multiple video images in the selected pattern of multiple video windows on a video display device. The encoded, multiplexed video signal includes display control data which selectively represent a position, size and relative visibility priority for each one of the video images within the selected display pattern of multiple video windows.
