  • Patent number: 11478154
    Abstract: A testing device and method thereof verifies performance of a non-invasive physiological information detecting device. The testing device incorporates a first layer to modulate one or more electromagnetic signals, e.g., light, emitted from the non-invasive physiological information detecting device in a first predetermined manner and a second layer to process the electromagnetic signal from the first layer such that the modulated signal received at the physiological information detecting device simulates a change in the electromagnetic signal during a real detecting process. In one embodiment, the second layer modulates one or more electromagnetic signals from the first layer in a second predetermined manner, wherein at least one of the first and second layers modulates one kind of the electromagnetic signals.

  • Patent number: 9295420
    Abstract: A transmission-reflectance swappable Raman device and a method thereof are disclosed. The excitation light is selectively directed to the sample in one direction for generating the transmission Raman signal in transmission mode or in another direction for generating the reflectance Raman signal in reflectance mode. The content of an analyte in a sample can be determined by analyzing transmission and reflectance Raman signal.

  • Patent number: 8879060
    Abstract: A Raman signal detection and analyzing system and a method thereof are disclosed. The Raman signal is generated by emitting an excitation light to a sample. The Raman signal is then modulated by passing through a plurality of optical filter and modulator. The resulting modulated Raman signal comprises two orthogonal components, which intensities are to be computed based on the first harmonic of said modulated Raman signal. The content of a specific analyte within the sample can then be determined based on the ratio of the intensities of the two components.

  • Publication number: 20130303921
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a device for measuring physiological data of a subject. It comprises a light modulation unit, an optical detection unit and a signal processing unit. The present invention can operate in an active mode or a passive mode to measure a subject's heart rate, respiratory information, haemoglobin level, cardiac output or oxygen saturation of the blood, etc. Fourier Transform based lock-in technique is used to detect the physiological signals reliably even when the signal is weak. In addition, ambient light can be used as the light source to complete the measurement.
