Title: Innovations by Jeon Woong Kang
Introduction
Jeon Woong Kang is an accomplished inventor based in Melrose, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of optical measurement and spectroscopy, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on non-invasive techniques that have practical applications in medical diagnostics and quality assessment in the food industry.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Subcutaneous fat thickness measurement by Raman spectroscopy." This invention addresses the need for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of fat content in pork, which is crucial for meat quality grading. By utilizing spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) with a fiber-optic probe, the invention allows for the acquisition of Raman spectra that can determine the relative composition of fat-to-skin. The method employs ordinary least square (OLS) regression to reflect the thickness of the fat layer accurately.
Another notable patent is "Raman spectroscopy for detection of glycated analytes." This invention focuses on the optical measurement of blood analytes, such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum albumin, which are essential for diagnosing diabetic patients. The use of non-enhanced Raman spectroscopy enables the quantitative detection of these blood analytes, allowing for accurate measurements and classification of glycated and unglycated analytes.
