Methods and systems are provided for calibrating a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging system. In one example, a collimated line source (331) for calibrating a SPECT imaging system (100) comprises a radioactive material aligned along a central axis (348) of the collimated line source (331) and a plurality of collimator plates (335) arranged perpendicularly around the central axis (348), the collimator plates including a material with an atomic number and a density to substantially absorb photons striking the collimator plates (335). The collimator plates (335) may absorb photons emitted by the radioactive material in non-perpendicular directions, which are not used for calibrating the SPECT imaging system (100), thereby reducing an amount of radiation released in an environment of the SPECT imaging system (100) during calibration. Due to the reduced amount of radiation to which people in the environment are exposed, short time increments between patient examinations may be advantageously used to collect calibration data, reducing an overall amount of time used for calibration.

An optochemical sensor for determining a measurement signal, which correlates with a concentration of an analyte of a measuring fluid, comprises: a sensor cap including a sensor spot, wherein the sensor spot contains at least one analyte-sensitive indicator dye and a state description indicator which reflects the aging state of the sensor spot; a radiation source to radiate excitation radiation onto the sensor spot and to excite a luminescence of the indicator dye; a radiation receiver to receive reception radiation emitted by the sensor spot; and a sensor circuit electrically connected to the radiation source and the radiation receiver and configured to control the radiation source and to generate, based on an intensity of luminescence and/or a phase angle of luminescence, a measurement signal representing the concentration of the analyte in the measuring fluid in contact with the sensor spot.

A multi-layer material system used to form various products that encourages moist substances or medications to stay on and penetrate a person's skin for moisturizing benefits and protection, as well as for medical treatment. The system enables a degree of outward vapor and air flow while preventing bulk transfer of the moist substances. Simultaneously, the system provides resistance to, and protection from, external elements including one or more of heat, ultraviolet radiation and mechanical abrasion.

Described herein are RF systems and techniques for detecting the presence of and/or characterizing RF signals among RF radiation received by the system. In some embodiments, RF signal characterization may be achieved with high accuracy and low sensitivity while using low cost, scalable electronics that are versatile for deployment in a variety of environments, whether centralized, distributed, and/or vehicle-based. In some embodiments, underlying such systems and techniques are trained models that may be executed by a processor and configured to detect the presence of and/or characterize received RF signals. In some embodiments, received RF signals may be encoded into compact data structure representations that may be transmitted over low bandwidth links and/or processed using fewer computing resources than processing the underlying RF radiation data itself, facilitating deployment of distributed RF sensing systems.
