  • Publication number: 20240125704
    Abstract: An optical stack for sensing a presence of an analyte is provided. The optical stack includes a sensor material. The sensor material includes a first optical response including a first optical property having a second value in response to an excitation signal including the first optical property having a first value different from the second value. The first optical response includes a second optical property sensitive to the presence of the analyte. The optical stack includes a first optical film disposed proximate the sensor material and includes a third optical property having respective third and fourth values in response to the respective first and second values of the first optical property. The third value is different from the fourth value by at least a factor of 2.

  • Patent number: 11921373
    Abstract: A backlight includes an extended light source adapted to emit light. A reflective polarizer is disposed on the extended light source, such that for substantially normally incident light and for at least a first wavelength in a range from about 420 nanometer (nm) to about 650 nm, the reflective polarizer reflects at least 60% of the incident light having a first polarization state and transmits at least 60% of the incident light having an orthogonal second polarization state. A first prismatic film is disposed between the extended light source and the reflective polarizer. A retarder layer is disposed between the reflective polarizer and the first prismatic film, such that for substantially normally incident light at a wavelength of about 550 nm, the retarder layer has a retardance nW, where n is an integer ?1 and W is a wavelength between about 160 nm and about 300 nm.

  • Patent number: 10204211
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring communication over a network using a network monitoring computer (NMC). If one or more flows include healthcare traffic provided by one or more healthcare services, the NMC may perform further actions. Healthcare values from the one or more healthcare services may be provided from the network traffic. Values from one or more network traffic flows that are separate from the healthcare traffic may be provided. Other healthcare values from other flows may be provided that include healthcare traffic provided by the healthcare services. Accordingly, if a comparison of the healthcare values and the other healthcare values meet certain conditions, additional actions may be performed based on rules, or policies. The healthcare traffic may be compliant with one or more of Health Level Seven (HL7) standard, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, or the like.
