A flow cytometer can include: at least one light emitter configured to emit light in a light path; a rectangular flow cell having flow cell width that is substantially lateral to the light path and a flow cell depth that is longitudinal to the light path, wherein the light path has an interrogation width at the flow cell that is narrower than the flow cell width; and a spherical reflector positioned adjacent to the rectangular flow cell and having a concave reflective surface that has a reflective direction that is positioned substantially orthogonal with the light path such that reflected light is reflected along a reflected path that is substantially orthogonal with the light path. At least one light absorbing member is positioned at least partially around the reflected path to absorb reflected light at an angle to the reflected path.

Embodiments herein provide for improved range response in lidar systems. In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a laser, and a detector. First optics direct light from the laser on a beam path along a first optical axis of the first optics. Second optics image the light from the beam path onto a second plane that is substantially normal to the first plane. The second optics have a second optical axis that differs from the first optical axis. The first and the second optical axes lie in a same first plane. A first line in the first plane intersects a second line in the second plane at an acute angle. The first line is perpendicular to the first optical axis. A spatial filter configured in or near the second plane filters the light from the second optics onto the detector.

A brake light enhancer circuit which may be readily connected to the brake light circuit of a conventional motor vehicle causes the brake lamps to be flashed a predetermined number of times when the brake pedal is initially depressed and thereafter causes the brake lights to be steadily illuminated so long as the brake pedal remains depressed. If, however, a turn signal indicator has been activated before or during the application of the brake pedal, the brake light enhancer circuit does not flash the rear brake lamps, but rather illuminates them continuously as long as the brake pedal is depressed. The circuit is configured so that normal brake light operation will not be impaired upon misconnection to the vehicle or failure or any component of the brake light enhancer circuit itself.

An image reviewing station for a picture archiving and communication system (PACS), having two functions of user interface and display of an image wherein base memory, image processor, and display memory architecture is used. The digitized image data at any size from any different modalities is stored in base memory in an original format, and read-out signals are processed appropriately in the image processor responsive to the command signals input by the user. The processed image data is then stored in a display memory before being supplied to a display via a digital-to-analog converter for the display. It provides the user with extensive, concise and easy interactive image manipulation and processing capabilities.
