Abstract
Embodiments described herein generally relate to: sensing and/or authentication using luminescence imaging; diagnostic assays, systems, and related methods; temporal thermal sensing and related methods; and/or to emissive species, such as those excitable by white light, and related systems and methods.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a source of electromagnetic radiation associated with a consumer electronic device;
- a sensor associated with the consumer electronic device;
- an emissive species which produces a detectable signal in the presence of electromagnetic radiation produced by the source of electromagnetic radiation, the detectable signal detectable by the sensor, the detectable signal having one or more detectable delayed emissions having an emission time period of greater than or equal to 10 nanoseconds;
- and
- an electronic hardware component associated with the consumer electronic device configured to generate a single image, the single image comprising a first portion of the detectable signal corresponding to a first portion of the emission time period, and the single image comprising a second portion of the detectable signal corresponding to a second portion of the emission time period different than the first portion of the emission time period.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- using a consumer electronic device to determine an identity or characteristic of a chemical/biological species, wherein the consumer electronic device comprises a source of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation;
- exposing an emissive species to the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation such that the emissive species produces a detectable delayed emission having an emission time period of greater than or equal to 10 nanoseconds which corresponds to the identity or characteristic of the chemical/biological species and which is detectable by the consumer electronic device;
- and
- generating a single image, the single image comprising a first portion of the detectable signal corresponding to a first portion of the emission time period, and the single image comprising a second portion of the detectable signal corresponding to a second portion of the emission time period different than the first portion of the emission time period.
