Patent number: 11268903Abstract: An instrument determines a concentration of bacteria in a plurality of fluid samples, and comprises a housing, a rotatable platform, a plurality of fluid containers, a light source, a sensor, and a motor. The rotatable platform is within the housing. The fluid containers are located on the rotatable platform. Each fluid container holds a corresponding one of the plurality of fluid samples, and has an input window and an output window. The light source provides an input beam for transmission into the input windows of the fluid containers and through the corresponding fluid samples. The input beam creates a forward-scatter signal associated with the concentration of bacteria. The motor rotates the rotatable platform so that the input beam sequentially passes through each fluid sample. A sensor within the housing detects the forward-scatter signal exiting from the output window associated with the fluid sample receiving the input beam.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: IP SPECIALISTS LTD.Inventors: Dana A.

Publication number: 20200372976Abstract: An optical measurement instrument is an integrated instrument that includes an optical cavity with a light source, a sample cuvette, and an optical sensor. The instrument can be used for taking measurements of organism concentration in one or more samples. Preferably, the instrument holds multiple, individually-loaded, independent fluid samples and determines bacteria concentration via a forward-scattering signal. The instrument can incorporate onboard incubation to promote bacterial growth in the samples such that, once a certain bacterial concentration is achieved, the higher concentration sample can be used with a mass spectrometer to identify the type of bacteria. The instrument and mass spectrometer can be a part of a network for medical diagnostic testing data where data is stored in a manner that is inherently untainted by patient identifiable information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Dana A.

Patent number: 9525508Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for creating mode division multiplexed channels capable of integration into photonic integrated circuits with direct spatial separation at the receiver end, thus removing the need for a DMUX module or at least significantly simplifying it. This is achieved by using a set of actuators that induce controllable mode mixing in a multi-mode fiber (MMF) at the transmitter in such a way that spatially separated channels are achieved at the receiver. As a result, no DMUX is required and failure of a single channel does not cause total communication link failure as occurs in links implemented with MUX/DMUX.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: RAFAEL ADVANCED DEFENSE SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Yehonatan Segev, Dan Vadim Regelman
