System For Non-Invasive Measurement Of Glucose In Humans

View page
US Patent:
6574490, Jun 3, 2003
Filed:
Apr 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/832585
Inventors:
Russell E. Abbink - Albuquerque NM
Robert D. Johnson - Albuquerque NM
John D. Maynard - Albuquerque NM
Assignee:
Rio Grande Medical Technologies, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600316, 600310, 600322, 600326, 356 39
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for non-invasive measurement of glucose in human tissue by quantitative infrared spectroscopy to clinically relevant levels of precision and accuracy. The system includes six subsystems optimized to contend with the complexities of the tissue spectrum, high signal-to-noise ratio and photometric accuracy requirements, tissue sampling errors, calibration maintenance problems, and calibration transfer problems. The six subsystems include an illumination subsystem, a tissue sampling subsystem, a calibration maintenance subsystem, an FTIR spectrometer subsystem, a data acquisition subsystem, and a computing subsystem.

Apparatus And Method For Reducing Spectral Complexity In Optical Sampling

View page
US Patent:
6684099, Jan 27, 2004
Filed:
Apr 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/116271
Inventors:
Trent Ridder - Sandia Park NM
John D. Maynard - Albuquerque NM
Russell E. Abbink - Albuquerque NM
Robert D. Johnson - Albuquerque NM
Assignee:
Inlight Solutions, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
600473, 600476, 600310, 356300
Abstract:
An optical sampling subsystem and method that reduces the effect of errors in an optical sampling subsystem when heterogeneously distributed samples are measured in the path of a spectrometer. The optical sampling subsystem is used to collect the non-uniformly distributed radiation exiting the heterogeneous sample and produce a uniform irradiance at its output. The output is then directed into the wavenumber (inverse of wavelength in centimeters) dispersive or modulating device of the spectrometer. The resulting spectra exhibit less spectral complexity arising from components of the sampling subsystem design and the heterogeneous sample, in particular, the effect of wavenumber shift is minimized. Improved quantitative predictions, qualitative analysis and calibration transfer are direct consequences of the reduced spectral complexity.

Filed:

Interferometer Alignment

View page
US Patent:
6952266, Oct 4, 2005
Filed:
Jan 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/342578
Inventors:
Russell E. Abbink - Sandia Park NM, US
Assignee:
InLight Solutions, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01B009/02
US Classification:
356451, 356450
Abstract:
The present invention provides means for correcting interferometer alignment errors through the use of corrective elements. The corrective elements allow reduced accuracy in the assembly process. Residual alignment errors caused by imprecise mounting of permanently mounted components can be corrected using relatively low precision positioning of corrector components. The technique can be particularly applicable to the mass production of interferometers, for which achieving and maintaining the required assembly tolerances might otherwise be prohibitively expensive. Interferometers according to the present invention can be used, for example, in optical spectroscopy and in interferometers.

Interferometer

View page
US Patent:
6989901, Jan 24, 2006
Filed:
Jul 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/614267
Inventors:
Russell E. Abbink - Sandia Park NM, US
Assignee:
InLight Solutions, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01B 9/02
G01J 5/02
US Classification:
356451, 356456, 25033908
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved interferometer design. Embodiments of the present invention provide a beam splitter, mounted with first and second reflective elements. An OPD element mounts relative to the other elements such that an optical path in the interferometer passes through the OPD element. The OPD element can be, for example, a plate comprising a refractive material mounted such that the thickness of the refractive material encountered by the optical path through the OPD element is variable. Various arrangements of components are described, and methods of constructing and methods of aligning such interferometers are also described.

Encoded Variable Filter Spectrometer

View page
US Patent:
7126682, Oct 24, 2006
Filed:
Apr 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/832631
Inventors:
Robert K. Rowe - Corrales NM, US
Russell E. Abbink - Albuquerque NM, US
Stephan P. Corcoran - Corrales NM, US
Assignee:
Rio Grande Medical Technologies, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01J 3/04
US Classification:
356310, 356326, 356330, 25033907
Abstract:
Spectroscopic system and spectrometers including an optical bandpass filter unit having a plurality of bandpass regions and a spatial encoding unit for encoding discrete frequencies of light passing through the optical filter. The incorporation of the encoding unit allows the spectrometer system to use a detector having one or a small number of elements, rather than using a more expensive detector array typically used with filter-based spectrometers. The system can also include an integrating chamber that collects the light that is not transmitted through the bandpass filter unit, and redirects this light to strike the filter unit again, resulting in a significant increase in the optical power passing through the filter. The integrating chamber maximizes the return of the reflected light to the filter assembly and minimizes optical losses. The integrating chamber may be an orthogonal design to preserve the optical geometric characteristics of the light entering the chamber.

Method Of Generating Interferometric Information

View page
US Patent:
7388669, Jun 17, 2008
Filed:
Aug 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/204278
Inventors:
Russell E. Abbink - Sandia Park NM, US
Assignee:
InLight Solutions, Inc. - Albuquerque NM
International Classification:
G01B 9/02
G01J 3/45
G01N 21/41
G01N 21/43
US Classification:
356455, 356517
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for generating interferometric information. Interferometric information from refractively scanned interferometers can contain errors due to wavelength-dependent refractive indices. The wavelength-dependent refractive indices of elements of the interferometer can produce errors when the OPD at a reference wavelength is different than the OPD at a sample wavelength. The invention can provide correction of interferometric information using relationships between the OPD at the wavelengths of interest, which correction can also be dependent on physical relationships among elements of the interferometer.
