Patent number: 8432550Abstract: A method for the assessment of quantity and quality parameters of biological particles in a liquid analyte material. The method comprises applying a volume of a liquid sample to an exposing domain from which exposing domain electromagnetic signals from the sample in the domain can pass to the exterior, and exposing, onto an array of active detection elements such as CCD-elements, a spatial representation of electromagnetic signals having passed from the domain, the representation being detectable as an intensity by individual active detection elements, under conditions permitting processing of the intensities detected by the array of detection elements during the exposure in such a manner that representations of electromagnetic signals from the biological particles are identified as distinct from representations of electromagnetic signals from background signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: ChemoMetec A/SInventors: Frans Ejner Ravn Hansen, Martin Glensbjerg, Börkur Arnvidarson, Jesper Myron Jeppesen

Patent number: 8259300Abstract: The invention relates the movement of at least one movable means of an interferometer relative to the body of the interferometer. The system according to the invention, comprises at least two interferometer actuators, that can be operated individually, so that the at least two actuators are capable of moving the at least one movable means of the interferometer. When activating at least one of the at least two interferometer actuators the at least one movable means of the interferometer is moved with a minimum need for correcting for e.g. tilt. In a preferred configuration the system and the method according to the invention comprises three interferometer actuators that can be operated individually.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: ChemoMetec A/SInventor: Börkur Arnvidarson

Patent number: 8154731Abstract: The present invention offers an alternative strategy for the correlation of interference information to chemical and/or physical properties of a sample. This strategy can be implemented in a method and a system, which offer substantial technical and commercial advantages over state of the art techniques based on interference spectroscopy. The invention further provides a method for standardizing an interferometer, as well as a method and a system using the standardized interferometer.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Chemometec A/SInventors: Börkur Arnvidarson, Hans Larsen

Patent number: 8010299Abstract: The present invention offers an alternative strategy for the correlation of interference information to chemical and/or physical properties of a sample. This strategy can be implemented in a method and a system, which offer substantial technical and commercial advantages over state of the art techniques based on interference spectroscopy. The method comprises the steps of: a. obtaining an interferogram and/or at least one interferogram element corresponding to a modulation of electromagnetic signal emitted from, transmitted onto or through, or having interacted with at least a part of the sample, b. performing i. at least one transformation of the interferogram and/or a segment of the interferogram and/or an interferogram element with at least one function, ii. optionally repeating i) for another segment of the interferogram and/or interferogram element, wherein the transformation does not comprise a Fourier Transformation if i) is conducted only once, thereby obtaining at least one score, c.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2006Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Chemometec A/SInventor: Börkur Arnvidarson
