Autofluorescence lifetime imaging optical fiber-probe for minimally-invasive clinical diagnostic

# Record card
80
Description

Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is regarded as the “gold-standard” method for fluorescence lifetime measurements. However, TCSPC requires using highly sensitive detectors, not suitable for measurements under bright light conditions, thereby making the use impractical in clinical settings. The invention described here solves this problem by synchronizing the fluorescence detection with an external light source.

TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SPACE-TIME MEASUREMENT OF SEA WAVES FROM MOVING PLATFORMS

# Record card
39
Description

The invention concerns an apparatus for measuring the three-dimensional (3-D) sea surface elevation from moving and floating platforms. In particular, the invention consists of two or more synchronized digital video-cameras that frame, from distinct and remote points of view, a common portion of the sea surface. A triangulation process makes it possible to obtain a three-dimensional reconstruction of the sea surface from these images. The invention is particularly suitable for measuring sea waves.
