Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for correcting a light intensity measurement value is provided. The method includes: emitting detection light into a measured object; measuring a light intensity measurement value at a measurement position, and measuring light intensity of photons at a benchmark position as a light intensity reference value. A sensitivity of the light intensity of photons to a concentration change of a specific substance in the measured object is less than or equal to a preset threshold, and a change rate of the light intensity at the measurement position with a concentration of the specific substance in the measured object is greater than a change rate of the light intensity at the benchmark position with the concentration of the specific substance; correcting the light intensity measurement value by using the light intensity reference value. The present disclosure further provides a concentration measurement device.

Abstract: A method of processing spectral data is disclosed and may include the steps of illuminating a medium to detect an inside particular component with light; obtaining a first spectral data for the medium at a first radial position and a second spectral data for the medium at a second radial position, wherein the first radial position and the second radial position are selected arbitrarily; and performing differential processing on the first spectral data and the second spectral data.

Abstract: A method of processing diffuse spectrum data may include: obtaining diffuse spectrum data of a medium to be detected at one or more first radial positions; and determining optical information caused by substantially only a variation in scattering characteristic of the medium to be detected and/or optical information caused by substantially only a variation in absorption characteristic of the medium to be detected at one or more second radial positions from the obtained diffuse spectrum data.

Abstract: A power supply to an LED-based street or area light is operated to provide a dimming control signal, which is in turn processed by a circuit to produce 0-10 V DC, pulse width modulated (PWM) signals, or any other suitable signal that can variably control LEDs within the light. The on/off power interruptions could be provided, for example, from a photoelectric control, a timer circuit, or a pre-programmed or manually controlled timer/contactor. The signal to the on/off device could also or instead be initiated by an RF or power line carrier signal to cause the power interruptions.

Abstract: A method of detecting a concentration of a target component by using a reference wavelength includes: defining a wavelength at which a light intensity is insensitive to the variation of the target component concentration as a reference wavelength for the target component; detecting spectra at both the reference wavelength and a further measuring wavelength; processing the spectrum detected at the further measuring wavelength, with the spectrum detected at the reference wavelength as an inner reference, to obtain a characteristic spectrum including specific information of the target component; building a calibration model between the characteristic spectrum and the concentration of the target component; and determining the concentration of the target component based on the calibration model.

Abstract: A system and device for using the power provided to street and area lights or other outdoor installations to power auxiliary devices which require a power supply which is different from line voltage for their power requirements. A device adapted to be connected to the NEMA three pole receptacle on a street or area light which converts the line voltage provided to the outdoor installation into a power form required by one or more auxiliary devices which cannot directly use the line current or voltage. The appropriate electrical connector for the auxiliary device may be included. Among the conversions: line voltage up to 480 volts alternating current converted to a user's specified voltage for WiFi, radios, surveillance cameras, traffic monitoring, other monitoring, security cameras, other communications, and UPS systems; DC voltage for the above applications and others; and power over ethernet conversion (for example, 48 volt direct current, 420 milliamperes).

Abstract: An automated method is described for advantageously preparing and treating an eye of the patient. The method further provides a vision-corrective procedure, such as photothermal keratoplasty. The automated method is useful to dry the cornea to reduce or eliminate a tear film on the corneal surface that might otherwise interfere with or reduce the efficacy of a vision-corrective procedure and thereafter to treat the cornea according to a vision-corrective procedure. The automated method is user-friendly, allowing the treatment provider to develop or to select an appropriate pre-treatment and treatment plan and to activate sane using a familiar "Windows" environment. The method has particular application in the area of automated corneal preparation and treatment, it may be used in the automated preparation and treatment of other tissues or substrates.

Abstract: An instrument primarily adapted for use in photothermal keratoplasty procedures to shrink collagen tissue within a cornea of an eye being treated by controlled heating of the tissue with infra-red radiation. In a specific implementation example, a moveable multi-faceted prism is a primary optical element that forms a desired treatment infra-red radiation pattern from a single beam source. Multiple exposures to variations of the radiation pattern are provided. Parameters of two or more exposures to spot radiation patterns are stored in a memory of the instrument, and automatically configure the instrument to deliver the two or more exposures in sequence. Automatic calibration of the radiation intensity is also provided. A guide positions the head of the patient with respect to the instrument, and sensors monitoring movement of both the head and eye provide signals used to by the instrument to control radiation delivery.

Abstract: A noninvasive method is described for performing accurate and controlled reshaping of the anterior surface of the cornea in order to correct ocular refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The invention uses a light source emitting a wavelength or wavelengths with correct optical penetration depth(s) to induce changes in corneal stromal collagen without damaging the corneal endothelium, together with a light delivery and control means for producing the required irradiance, exposure time, and geometric pattern, in order to achieve the desired change in corneal shape. Corneal shape is monitored before, during, and after the procedure by a corneal topography system. Anterior corneal surface cooling by a transparent heat sink is used to prevent damage to the epithelium and to Bowman's layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlled thermal shrinkage of collagen tissue by irradiation with coherent energy in the wavelength band of 1.80 to 2.55 microns as generated by a laser. A specific application to ophthalmological corneal reshaping is described. A method for shrinkage of collagen tissue by application of coherent infrared energy, in which the threshold shrinkage temperature is substantially reduced by application of a reagent such as lysozyme to the tissue prior to heating. The method is especially useful in ophthalmology for shape modification of a cornea, and is enhanced by using a corneal collagen shield as a carrier and delivery agent for the reagent and an admixed anaesthetic.

Abstract: A fiber optic probe and its use in performing a sclerostomy (forming a small hole in the sclera of an eye) as a treatment for glaucoma. The minimally dimensioned probe is designed to direct laser light out of its side and, as a result, allows a sclerostomy procedure to be performed with minimal trauma to the conjunctiva and other surrounding ocular tissues of the patient. A series of pulses of infrared laser radiation delivered through the side of the probe forms the hole in the sclera.
