  • Publication number: 20220228969
    Abstract: An optical device includes a low-noise illumination source, a support device, an ultra low-noise detector, an analog-to-digital converter, and a controller. The low-noise illumination source is configured to generate a single beam of radiation. The support device is configured to support an object and to pass the single beam of radiation through the object. The object directly blocks, absorbs, or deflects portions of the single beam of radiation, thereby directly modulating the single beam of radiation. The low-noise detector is configured to detect the modulated single beam of radiation and to output an analog signal representative of vibrational spectra of the object. The modulated single beam of radiation is non-interferometric. The analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the detected analog signal into a digital signal. The controller is configured to analyze and generate vibrational spectra of the object from the digital signal represented as a range of events over time.

  • Patent number: 11293853
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for measuring vibrational spectra of a living cells and tissue that includes a low noise consistent optical source creating a photon beam, a support device, a photon-to-electron converter/detector outputting a streamed analog electrical signal, an analog-to-digital converter, and a digital signal processor with specialized software for measuring and characterizing the signal contained in the photon beam and its subsequent detector's streamed analog converted to digital signal. Motion of the living sample causes modulation to the photon beam as it passes through the living samples by how much of the photon beam is blocked, absorbed or deflected. In addition, specific sub-cellular vibrational features can be segregated utilizing fluorescent markers.

  • Patent number: 9663018
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering fluids such as fluid fuel to equipment are disclosed. A fluid delivery apparatus may be detachably couplable to a towing vehicle. It may include a fluid inlet for detachable coupling to a fluid source, a conduit, and a trailer frame that doubles as a ramp permitting traffic to pass over the conduit, as well as a reel and hose for detachable coupling to a piece of equipment. The conduit may be in fluid communication with the fluid inlet such that the fluid may flow from the source, to the inlet, through the conduit, into the hose, and to the piece of equipment. Methods of using a fluid delivery apparatus may include delivering a fluid fuel to a piece of equipment at a first location, towing the apparatus to a second location, and delivering fluid fuel to a second piece of equipment at the second location.
