An apparatus for chemiluminescence and/or fluorescence measuring, comprising a photomultiplier device (50) receiving and measuring a photo-emission of a reaction cup (12), comprising: a reading unit module (1) comprising said photomultiplier device (50), configured to read said chemiluminescence and/or fluorescence emitted by said reaction cup (12); a sliding cartridge module (2) to contain said reaction cup (12), also configured to slide in a first sliding direction; a first sliding arrangement to let said sliding cartridge module (2) slide according to said first sliding direction and to stop said sliding cartridge module (2) to locate said reaction cup (12) in turn at a reaction cup placing position, a reading and injector position, a liquid extraction position and a reaction cup releasing position; an injector module (3) to slide in a second sliding direction substantially perpendicular to said first sliding direction; a second sliding arrangement to let said injector module (3) slide according to said second sliding direction, to inject reaction agents into said reagent cup when said sliding cartridge module (2) is in said reading and injector position, and to extract liquid from said reagent cup when said sliding cartridge module (2) is in said liquid extraction position; a shifting fork module (4) to hold said reaction cup (12) in said sliding cartridge module (2) or let drop said reaction cup (12) from said sliding cartridge module (2) when in said reaction cup releasing position; a shield module (57) to envelope said apparatus completely, and comprising a first hole (52) to let said reaction cup (12) enter said sliding cartridge module (2) when in said reaction cup placing position, and a second hole (53) to let said reaction cup (12) drop when said sliding cartridge module (2) is in said reaction cup releasing position; a light block module (5) to close said first and second hole (52, 53) when said sliding cartridge module (2) is neither in said reaction cup placing position nor in said reaction cup releasing position.

A transmitter-receiver arrangement for measuring concentration of gas and/or for measuring pressure in a container headspace, wherein the transmitter-receiver arrangement defines a measuring zone accommodating the headspace, and the transmitter-receiver arrangement includes a transmitter to emit electromagnetic radiation covering a wavelength range including an absorption line of gas, a receiver of electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range, the receiver and transmitter positioned respective to each other defining a path for the electromagnetic radiation from the transmitter to the receiver, a fixating element for fixating the transmitter-receiver arrangement to the apparatus or filling machine, an electrically controllable actuator arrangement causing at least one common shift of the transmitter and receiver, a shift of the transmitter relative to the receiver, a change in spatial orientation of the transmitter and receiver relative to the fixating element, and a change in spatial orientation of the transmitter relative to a spatial orientation of the receiver.

This invention relates to a food assessment device. The food assessment device includes a turntable plate for accommodating a food item. The food assessment device further includes a lid enclosing the turntable plate. Further, surface of the lid includes at least one Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled camera to capture one of video data, or image data of the food item for identifying the food item, a set of Near Infrared (NIRED) sensors for determining chemical composition of the food item, at least one Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor for determining volume of the food item. It should be noted that each of the at least one AI enabled camera, the set of NIRED sensors, and the at least one LIDAR sensor faces towards the food item and scans the food item until the turntable plate completes a rotation.

Apparatuses and methods are described herein for processing polynucleotides in a sealed path environment. The apparatuses include optical sensors to monitor operations and to track material usage for good manufacturing practice.

A system for infrared analysis of a target surface region of a subject includes a reservoir containing a medium at a predetermined temperature and a conduit defining a channel for transmitting the medium from the reservoir to the target surface region. The conduit may have a first end that is attached to an outlet of the reservoir and a second end that is flexibly conformable to a shape corresponding to a perimeter of the target surface region. The system may further include an infrared camera(s) operable to capture infrared image data of the target surface region and one or more processors operable to produce a representation of the captured infrared image data at a plurality of timings relative to the transmission of the medium from the reservoir to the target surface region. Adjunctive reflective surfaces may ensure that IR signals from target geometric surfaces can be captured for analysis.
