  • Publication number: 20220160263
    Abstract: An optical filter device, system, and method for improved optical rejection of out-of-band wavelengths is disclosed. For example, an analyte detection system is provided that includes an excitation light source for illuminating an implantable sensor and an optical detector for collecting emission light from the implantable sensor. Further, the analyte detection system includes an optical filter device arranged between the implantable sensor and the optical detector, wherein the optical filter device provides high optical rejection of out-of-band wavelengths of the emission light.

  • Patent number: 10087396
    Abstract: A composition is disclosed for aiding extraction of an emulsified oil from an oil and water emulsion. The composition includes silicon containing particles at a level of 0.1 wt. % to 30 wt. %; an emulsifying agent at a level of 1 wt. % to 30 wt. %; and water at a level of 40 wt. % to 99 wt. %. A method of extracting oil from an oil and water emulsion in a material is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) dispersing silicon containing particles into the material using a mechanical blending device; and (b) separating the oil from the material. A method of extracting oil from an oil and water emulsion in a material is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a dispersion of silicon containing particles in water; (b) metering the dispersion into the material; and (c) separating the oil from the material.
