Abstract: An approach for controlling light exposure of a light sensitive object is described. Aspects of this approach involve using a first set of radiation sources to irradiate the object with visible radiation and infrared radiation. A second set of radiation sources spot irradiate the object in a set of locations with a target ultraviolet radiation having a range of wavelengths. Radiation sensors detect radiation reflected from the object and environment condition sensors detect conditions of the environment in which the object is located during irradiation. A controller controls irradiation of the light sensitive object by the first and second set of radiation sources according to predetermined optimal irradiation settings specified for various environmental conditions. In addition, the controller adjusts irradiation settings of the first and second set of radiation sources as a function of measurements obtained by the various sensors.

Abstract: Monitoring of one or more key indicators can provide powerful insights into operation and state of different physical systems. For example, continuous monitoring of multiple analyte in body will allow for detailed insights into personal health and will allow for preventative health management. In this application, we present an ultra-small scale wireless sensing platform capable of long-term wireless in-vivo sensing. The key for extreme miniaturization lies in ultra-low-power compact design and lithographic integration of key system components. The key to low cost is using standard technologies and scalable manufacturing. For example, using standard semiconductor technologies for sensing, processing and wireless operation paves way to a low-cost integrated wireless sensing technology. Modern semiconductor technologies provide the capability to provide low-power and yet powerful electronics functionality in a small (mm-scale) size and wireless operation at high frequency.

Abstract: Fabricating light guide elements includes forming a first portion of the light guide element using a replication technique (104), and forming a second portion of the light guide element using a photolithographic technique (106). Use of replication can facilitate formation of more complex-shaped optical elements as part of the light guide element. The replication process sometimes results in the formation of a “yard,” or excess replication material, which may lead to light leakage if not removed or smoothed over. In some instances, at least part of the yard portion is embedded within the second portion of the light guide element, thereby resulting in a smoothing over of the yard portion.
