Abstract
This disclosure relates to optical measurement and identification of samples.
Claims32
A portable measurement apparatus comprising:
- an optical measurement assembly configured to generate information about a sample;
- a processor configured to determine an identity of the sample based on the information;
- a memory configured to store a distribution list comprising one or more telephone numbers;
- and
- a cellular communication device configured to transmit a text message including the determined identity of the substance to one or more of the telephone numbers included in the distribution list.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, via a cellular network an identification of a substance from a portable measurement device;
- accessing information stored on the computing device to identify one or more end devices associated with the measurement device or the identified substance;
- and
- distributing the identification of the substance to the one or more identified end devices.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server from a handheld measurement device, infrared adsorption information for a sample;
- processing the infrared adsorption information for the sample to determine an identity of the sample;
- generating a reference signature for the identified sample;
- and
- distributing the reference signature for the identified sample to a plurality of additional handheld measurement devices via cellular connections between the server and the plurality of additional handheld measurement devices.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining one or more signatures stored in a central signature library that are not included in a device signature library on a handheld measurement assembly configured to generate optical spectrum information about a sample;
- selecting at least one signature from the determined one or more signatures to deliver to the handheld measurement assembly;
- and
- sending, via a cellular connection, the selected at least one signature to the handheld measurement assembly from the central signature library.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more handheld measurement assemblies configured to generate optical spectrum information about a sample, identification information for a plurality of samples and location information, the location information indicating where measurements associated with the plurality of samples were performed;
- generating, using a computer system, a map including the identification information where the identification information is displayed as a function of location based on the location information;
- and
- displaying the map on a user interface.
