METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACER-AIDED DETERMINATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF INTOXICATING SUBSTANCE IN BREATH SAMPLE
The present invention relates to a breath analyzing system and method. In particular the invention relates to a breath analyzing system and method arranged to provide tracer-aided classification of the presence of a breath intoxicating substance above a limit concentration and providing status to a user about the progression of the classification. The method/system detects a peak in the tracer signal and defines an evaluation period corresponding to the duration of the peak. Measurements classification of the concentration of the intoxicating substance is used for the evaluation period, and if required to achieve a result, for a plurality of evaluation periods.

LAMBERTIAN GAS CAVITIES ILLUMINATED BY MID-INFRARED LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES
The present disclosure describes a Lambertian gas-sensing system that may enable gas sensing in a compact form factor. The Lambertian gas-sensing system may include a hollow cavity, one or more light-emitting diode (LED) illuminators, one or more light-absorption detectors, and a gas exchange manifold. The hollow cavity may mechanically integrate the gas exchange manifold, the one or more LED illuminators, and one or more light-absorption detectors (such as one or more optical detectors). The gas exchange manifold may introduce gas into the hollow cavity and the one or more LED illuminators may emit light into the hollow cavity through one or more ports. The one or more light-absorption detectors may receive light from the hollow cavity through one or more ports.

INFRARED ABSORPTION-BASED COMPOSITION SENSOR FOR FLUID MIXTURES
A composition sensor for measuring composition of fluid mixtures is presented. The composition sensor includes a plurality of high-brightness emission sources having respective spectrally narrow wavelength emission bands in the infrared region. The wavelength emission bands overlap absorption wavelength bands of the composition. The wavelength emission bands are wavelength multiplexed and time multiplexed prior to emission through a fluid mixture. A single optical detector senses the emitted light. The composition sensor includes arms that can rotate to measure composition at different angular position of a pipe in a lateral section of an oil well. Rotation of the arms is provided by rotation of an element of a mobile vessel to which the arm is rigidly coupled. The rotation of the arms is provided by a rotation of a nose of the mobile vessel that rotates independently from a main body of the mobile vessel.
