  • Publication number: 20230057117
    Abstract: Disclosed is an instrument analyzing elemental composition of a sample, including a measurement assembly including: an exciter generating an excitation directed at a target position to cause emission from the sample; a detector assembly receiving the emission from the sample at the target position, arranged to generate one or more measurement signals that are descriptive of the emission; an imaging apparatus for capturing images of an area around the target position; and a controller for carrying out a measurement, arranged to operate the exciter to generate the excitation and to carry out analysis of the elemental composition of the sample based on the measurement signals. The controller performs reliability analysis associated with the measurement by operating the imaging apparatus to capture images of the sample, determining estimated reliability of the measurement based on the captured images, and selectively issuing an indication of measurement reliability based on the estimated reliability.

  • Publication number: 20090042565
    Abstract: A system for automatically controlling the scanning frequency of a radio based positioning application in a wireless communication device (WCD) based on the connection point information of the WCD. The connection point information may be utilized to identify if the WCD is near a positioning-enabled environment. Scanning may be activated, or the scanning frequency may be increased, when the WCD is in an environment that is served by certain connection points (e.g., connection points located in a city). On the other hand, when the WCD is in an environment that is not served by certain connection points (e.g., a rural area), scanning may be stopped or the scanning frequency may be reduced to conserve power in the mobile device.
