An apparatus includes a mobile computing device () physically coupled to a lightbox (). The apparatus includes camera hardware configured to capture image data associated with an output signal area of a biological chromatographic test strip () inserted into a receiving slot of the lightbox. The apparatus further includes processing circuitry in communication with the camera hardware, the processing circuitry being configured to determine, based on the image data captured by the camera hardware, a concentration of a target analyte in a test sample submitted via the biological chromatographic test strip. The apparatus further includes an interface in communication with the processing circuitry, the interface being configured to output data indicative of the concentration of the target analyte determined by the processing circuitry.

Chromatographic reader devices for biodetection

A system includes a personal protective equipment (PPE) configured to be worn by an agent. The PPE includes a sensor assembly comprising a radar device configured to generate radar data, a microphone configured to capture speech input from the agent, and an inertial measurement device configured to generate inertial data. The system includes a computing device configured to: process sensor data from the sensor assembly, the sensor data including at least the radar data and the inertial data, to generate pose data of the agent based on the processed sensor data, the pose data including a location and an orientation of the agent as a function of time, to process the speech input to identify an item of interest in an environment in which the PPE is deployed, and to form mapping information for the environment with the item of interest being marked, based on the processed speech input.

A mobile computing device includes camera hardware configured to capture image data associated with an output signal area of a biological chromatographic test strip. The mobile computing device further includes processing circuitry in communication with the camera hardware, the processing circuitry being configured to determine, based on the image data captured by the camera hardware, a concentration of a target analyte in a test sample submitted via the biological chromatographic test strip. The mobile computing device further includes an interface in communication with the processing circuitry, the interface being configured to output data indicative of the concentration of the target analyte determined by the processing circuitry.

A reader device includes a camera board, processing circuitry in communication with the camera board, and an interface in communication with the processing circuitry. The camera board is configured to capture image data associated with an output signal area of a biological chromatographic test strip. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on the image data captured by the camera board, a concentration of a target analyte in a test sample submitted via the biological chromatographic test strip. The interface is configured to output data indicative of the concentration of the target analyte determined by the processing circuitry.

Systems and methods of path-based mapping and routing are provided. Translation information and absolute information of mobile objects in environments are determined based on a fusion of sensing data from a radar and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) including a gyroscope and an accelerometer, from which path-based maps and optimal routes can be generated.
