Analyte filter method and apparatus
The invention comprises a method and apparatus for enhancing the analysis of noninvasive spectra, resulting in improved analytical performance. More particularly, the invention comprises a method and apparatus for processing noninvasive spectra with an analyte filter that preferably rejects variation likely to be detrimental to the measurement system, while passing signal that probabilistically is unique to the target analyte. Subsequently, the analyte filtered data are used to estimate an analyte property, such as a glucose concentration, in the presence of noise, interferences, state changes, and / or across analyzers.

InactiveUS6897952B1Increase motor speedReduce motor speedRadiation pyrometrySpectrum generation using diffraction elementsModulation functionFrequency spectrum
A disc serving as a spatial radiation modulator has dispersed radiation filters thereon. Each filter has a transmittance or reflectance modulation function of the form sin2(mθ+pπ / 4), where m is a positive integer and p has one of the four values 0, 1, 2, 3. A radiation beam including selected wavelength components is diffracted into an elongated image dispersed according to wavelength. Different wavelength components are focused onto different filters on the modulator and are encoded by corresponding filters. Since the modulation functions of the filters are orthogonal to one another, it is possible to extract the amplitude of each wavelength component after it has been encoded or modulated by corresponding filter from the total detected signal during one measurement.

The invention discloses a multi-channel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator, which adopts a scanning fiber laser as a light source. The scanning fiber laser is on the basis of a micro-mechanical structural filter with temperature control, and belongs to a narrow-linewidth and high-coherent light source which is calibrated accurately. The calibration is implemented by a thermostable FP etalon with a wavelength label. A gain matching fiber amplifier amplifies the power of the output of a laser and achieves the power flatness of scanning laser spectroscopy. A fiber Bragg grating reflected signal enters a data acquiring and processing system after passing through a photoelectric detector and an AD converter processing module. A data acquiring and processing and peak detection system is implemented by adopting an FPGA-based all-digital scheme, and simultaneously utilizes a synchronous signal of a direct numerical frequency synthesis module to obtain a control voltage of the micro-mechanical structural filter. By combining with other equipment, the scanning fiber laser, the etalon and the FPGA realize the multichannel, high-precision, high-stability, high-repeatability, and serial-parallel structure detection of a grating sensor network signal.
