Methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with aerosol collection devices (such as, but not limited to, breath-aerosol collector devices, breathalyzers) are provided. An example aerosol collection device includes a sample transfer adapter configured to receive a sample and a device body connected to the sample transfer adapter. In some examples, the device body defines a flow channel that guides the sample to a filter component, and the filter component contains a buffer solution.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sample capture and extraction

Embodiments of the disclosure relate generally to illumination synchronization in a multi-imager environment. Embodiments include systems, methods, computer program products, and apparatuses configured for operating a near-field illumination source associated with a near-field image sensor, based on a first illumination pulse train. An exposure period of a far-field image sensor is determined and one or more characteristics of the first illumination pulse train are modified to accommodate the exposure period of the far-field image sensor.

Illumination control for imaging systems with multiple image sensors

Various embodiments described herein provide implementations for controlling flicker, for example caused by a plurality of light sources, in a multi-sensor environment. Various embodiments provided utilize a broadest illuminator source for capturing image data objects for processing. The broadest illuminator source minimizes the number of activation changes required between the various illuminator sources. One example embodiment includes activating a broadest illuminator source of a plurality of illuminator sources; determining, based on a plurality of image sensors and an sensor activation sequence, a chosen image sensor of the plurality of image sensors for an image processing operation; and activating a chosen illuminator source of the plurality of illuminator sources, the chosen illuminator source associated with the chosen image sensor.

Apparatuses and methodologies for flicker control

Existing currency validation (CVAL) devices, systems, and methods are too slow, costly, intrusive, and/or bulky to be routinely used in common transaction locations (e.g., at checkout, at an automatic teller machine, etc.). Presented herein are devices, systems, and methods to facilitate optical validation of documents, merchandise, or currency at common transaction locations and to do so in an obtrusive and convenient way. More specifically, the present invention embraces a validation device that may be used alone or integrated within a larger system (e.g., point of sale system, kiosk, etc.). The present invention also embraces methods for currency validation using the validation device, as well as methods for improving the quality and consistency of data captured by the validation device for validation.

Devices, systems, and methods for optical validation

Embodiments described herein provide a middle frame image processing schema in a multi-sensor environment, for example improve image processing throughput and snappiness by processing middle frame image data objects of a middle frame image size that is shared amongst a plurality of image sensors. An example apparatus includes a plurality of image sensors, each configured to capture a full frame image data object and output a middle frame image data object. The apparatus further includes an image frame multiplexer communicable with each of the plurality of image sensors, and configured to receive a plurality of middle frame image data objects, and output a selected middle frame image data object from the plurality of middle frame image data objects. The apparatus further includes a processor communicable with the image frame multiplexer, and configured to receive the selected middle frame image data object, and process the selected middle frame image data object.

Apparatuses and computer-implemented methods for middle frame image processing

The present invention provides an apparatus comprising a plurality of image sensors, an image frame multiplexer communicable with each of the plurality of image sensors, and a processor communicable with the image frame multiplexer. Each image sensor captures a full frame image data object and outputs a middle frame image data object. The image frame multiplexer communicable receives a plurality of middle frame image data objects and outputs a selected middle frame image data object from the plurality of middle frame image data objects. The processor receives the selected middle frame image data object and processes the selected middle frame image data object.
