Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Optical computing devices are disclosed. One exemplary optical computing device includes an electromagnetic radiation source configured to optically interact with a sample and at least two integrated computational elements. The at least two integrated computational elements may be configured to produce optically interacted light, and at least one of the at least two integrated computational elements may be configured to be disassociated with a characteristic of the sample. The optical computing device further includes a first detector arranged to receive the optically interacted light from the at least two integrated computational elements and thereby generate a first signal corresponding to the characteristic of the sample.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of determining a desired characteristic of a sample, comprising: optically interacting an electromagnetic radiation source with the sample and at least two integrated computational elements, wherein at least one of the at least two integrated computational elements is configured to be disassociated with the desired characteristic of the sample and to return a regression vector associated with a second characteristic of the sample different from the…
