Patent number: 9487398Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing biometric determinations using optical spectroscopy of tissue. The biometric determinations that are disclosed include determination or verifications of identity, estimation of age, estimation of sex, determination of sample liveness and sample authenticity. The apparatuses disclosed are based upon discrete light sources such as light emitting diodes, laser diodes, vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, and broadband sources with multiple narrow-band optical filters. The multiple light sources are encoded in a manner that the tissue response for each source can be efficiently measured. The light sources are spaced at multiple distances from a detector to contribute differing information to the biometric determination task as do light sources with different wavelength characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: HID Global CorporationInventors: Robert K. Rowe, Stephen P. Corcoran, Shonn P. Hendee

Patent number: 7620212Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that extend the functionality of electro-optical sensors. A device has a multiple light sources, a light detector, and a processor configured to operate the light sources and the light detector to perform distinct functions. At least one of the distinct functions includes a biometric identification function in which light is propagated from the plurality of light sources through presented material. The propagated light is received with the light detector, with the presented material being identified from the received light. Another of the distinct functions includes a nonidentification function performed with the light sources and the light detector.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2003Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Lumidigm, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey G.

Patent number: 6944487Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of determining the pH of a sample. A method can comprise determining an infrared spectrum of the sample, and determining the hemoglobin concentration of the sample. The hemoglobin concentration and the infrared spectrum can then be used to determine the pH of the sample. In some embodiments, the hemoglobin concentration can be used to select an model relating infrared spectra to pH that is applicable at the determined hemoglobin concentration. In other embodiments, a model relating hemoglobin concentration and infrared spectra to pH can be used. An apparatus according to the present invention can comprise an illumination system, adapted to supply radiation to a sample; a collection system, adapted to collect radiation expressed from the sample responsive to the incident radiation; and an analysis system, adapted to relate information about the incident radiation, the expressed radiation, and the hemoglobin concentration of the sample to pH.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2004Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: InLight Solutions, Inc.Inventors: John D.

Publication number: 20040204868Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for using feedback to improve non-invasive tissue measurements by making measurements faster, easier to perform, and less error prone. In some embodiments, a set of metrics is identified as measurable potential sources of measurement error that can be controlled by a user. In some embodiments, the set of metrics can be analyzed to determine which metrics are related to one another, and some possible error metrics can be discarded, and others used as surrogate metrics for measuring and monitoring measurement errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2003Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventors: John D. Maynard, Mark Ries Robinson, Trent D. Ridder, Shonn P. Hendee, Christopher D. Brown, Stephen J. Vanslyke, Cliona M. Fleming, Edward L. Hull

Publication number: 20040029103Abstract: The present invention allows detection of specific cell types based on chemical and functional characteristics of the cells. The invention can discriminate even between cells that are very similar; for example, the invention can discriminate between fetal and maternal red blood cells. The invention can also selectively alter certain cells; for example, by lysing cells of one type while leaving cells of another type unaltered. The invention has numerous applications. For example, the invention allows separation of fetal cells from maternal cells in maternal blood, allowing for fetal genetic screening without many of the drawbacks of current fetal cell acquisition techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Mark R.
