The present invention provides methods, software, and systems for assessing a burn injury.

Methods and systems for assessing a burn injury

A method and system for analyzing noisy terahertz spectroscopy data transforms the measured time-dependent data into frequency space, for example, using a discrete Fourier transform, and then transforms the frequency spectrum into wavelet frequency space. The twice-transformed data is analyzed to identify spectroscopic features of the signal, for example, to identify a resonance frequency. The method may be used, for example, in a stand-off detector to identify particular chemicals in a target.

Terahertz spectroscopy of rough surface targets

The invention provides devices, systems, and methods for detecting an analyte vapor. Particularly, electronegative analyte vapors, such as those vapors evolving from explosive compounds, are typical analytes detected the devices. The devices operate using a resistivity change mechanism wherein a nanostructured chemiresistive material undergoes a resistivity change in the presence of an analyte vapor. A resistivity change indicates the presence of an analyte.
