We present experimental realization and validation of the six-port design of integrating sphere photometers for total luminous flux measurement, which significantly improves the uniformity of spatial response compared to the conventional single-port design. Construction, measurement procedure, and data acquisition of the realized instrument with a radius of 1 m are described. Measurement of the spatial response distribution function confirms the expected effect of improving the uniformity by averaging the signals from the six detection ports. The related spatial mismatch error is determined to be less than 1.4% for all the realistic cases of beam angles and directions of a test lamp mounted in the vicinity of the sphere center. As a result, we confirm that the realized six-port instrument allows us to eliminate the complicated spatial mismatch correction procedure by adding a relative standard uncertainty of only 1.4/3%≈0.81%, which offers a great practical benefit for testing solid-state lighting products of various beam characteristics.

Non-Contact Blood Pressure Estimation From Radar Signals by a Stacked Deformable Convolution Network.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
August 2024
This study introduces a contactless blood pressure monitoring approach that combines conventional radar signal processing with novel deep learning architectures. During the preprocessing phase, datasets suitable for synchronization are created by integrating Kalman filtering, multiscale bandpass filters, and a periodic extraction method in the time domain. These data comprise data on chest micro variations, encapsulating a complex array of physiological and biomedical information reflective of cardiac micromotions.

In this paper, the development and application of a multiple heart-cutting achiral-chiral LC-LC method (mLC-LC) for the analysis of dansylated (Dns) branched-chain amino acids in commercial tablets are described. In the first dimension, a Waters Xbridge RP C18 achiral column was used under gradient conditions with buffered aqueous solution and acetonitrile. The elution order Dns-valine (Dns-Val) < Dns-isoleucine (Dns-Ile) < Dns-leucine (Dns-Leu) turned out with full resolution between adjacent peaks: 7.

A high-performance chromatograph was adapted and reconfigured to establish a two-dimensional methodology for separations that are not easily achievable using a single enantioselective column. Allethrin, a pyrethroid used widely as a pesticide in domestic environments, was chosen as the model analyte. With three chiral centers, it has eight stereoisomers and is considered one of the more difficult chiral separations.

Non-target screening of secondary organic aerosol compounds in ice cores is used to reconstruct atmospheric conditions and sources and is a valuable tool to elucidate the chemical profiles of samples with the aim to obtain as much information as possible from one mass spectrometric measurement. The coupling of mass spectrometry to chromatography limits the results of a non-target screening to signals of compounds within a certain polarity range based on the utilized stationary phases of the columns. Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LCxLC) introduces a second column of different functionality to enable the analysis of a broader range of analytes.

Application of the poly-ɛ-caprolactone composite sorbent consisting of the micro- and nanometer fibers for the on-line extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from a biological matrix has been introduced. A 100 μL human serum sample spiked with ketoprofen, naproxen, sodium diclofenac, and indomethacin was directly injected in the extraction cartridge filled with the poly-ɛ-caprolactone composite sorbent. This cartridge was coupled with a chromatographic instrument via a six-port switching valve allowing the analyte extraction and separation within a single analytical run.
