OPTICAL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING A PLURALITY OF TARGETS USING A SINGLE PHOTON AVALANCHE DETECTOR
An optical source (100) generates optical pulses, and directs them to a first path arrangement (102), which splits and directs them to targets (104, 106). A second path arrangement (108) transfers the optical radiation to a wavelength separator (110), which directs wavelengths to SPAD elements of a detector (112).

A timing controller (114) triggers detection intervals of the SPAD elements ON/OFF synchronously with the delays of the paths (102, 108) and generation of the pulses, and allows the SPAD elements to detect photons only during the detection intervals that are temporally matched with the interactions. The SPAD elements output electric signals synchronously with the detection intervals for causing them to correspond to distribution of wavelengths of the optical radiation of only one of the targets (104, 106) at each output moment.

A timing unit (106) determines a value corresponding to a time-of-flight of the optical pulse output at each of the repeated moments on the basis of a signal from a group of the sub-detector units associated with an optical beams output at said moment. In an embodiment, the semiconductor laser source comprises a plurality of sub-source units each of which may output a unique optical beam.

In an embodiment, the apparatus (100) comprises an electric power source (192) which supplies a constant electric power to the semiconductor laser source at each of the repeated moments in order to increase brightness of the optical beams. Elongated optical beams may be produced by a laser diode bar (several emitting stripes) and a cylinder lens system or a holographic diffuser. Partially overlapping optical beams may provide illuminated rectangles of the optical beams on the target (112).

A number of the time-to-digital converters is smaller than a number of the single photon avalanche detector elements of the matrix. The receiver controller connects at least two of the single photon avalanche detector elements with different time-to-digital converters. The time-to-digital converters connected with the single photon avalanche detector elements provide timings of detected optical pulses on the basis of each output electrical signal for determination of information associated with a distance of the target.

A CARBON FIBER MULTICHANNEL ELECTRODE FOR MEASURING ELECTRICAL AND CHEMICAL ACTIVITY IN BIOLOGICAL TISSUE AND A PROCESS FOR MAKING THE ELECTRODE
The invention relates to a multichannel electrode used in measuring electrical and chemical activity in biological tissue and a method for manufacturing the multi-channel electrode. For manufacturing the multichannel electrode a carbon fiber and a conductor are first attached together. Electrodes are electrically insulated from each other by directly applying insulation on their surface, or by inserting them in capillary tubes made of glass or plastic. Insulated single electrodes are then integrated into a bunch. If capillary tubes are used as insulator, the bunch is drawn to a fine tip by using heat. In both variations, distance between the tips of the electrodes is 5-50 micrometers. Electro active area at the tip can be precisely adjusted using electrochemical etching and partial insulation with suitable dielectric such as electrophoretic deposition paint. The tips may additionally be coated with suitable material such as carbon nanotubes, conductive polymer, metals of different kind, or synthetic or biological molecules.
The present invention relates to methods and products for the treatment of any disorder or condition, which is associated with abnormal amount of non-collagenous protein, or abnormal oligomerization or dysfunction of non-collagenous protein, such as adiponectin in the blood circulation and/or tissue of a patient. The treatment comprises that functional form of the non-collagenous protein is adjusted in the blood circulation and/or tissue of the patient substantially to the level it is in the blood circulation and/or tissue of a healthy person, by using lysyl hydroxylase and/or glycosyl-transferase activities of LH3 or other lysyl hydroxylase to modify the non-collagenous protein to HMW or other functional form.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for performing triggering and for determining a triggering moment. In the solution, a unipolar electrical pulse of a detector (106, 118) is converted between the detector (106, 118) and a first amplifier (108, 120) succeeding the detector into at least one bipolar electrical oscillation. The bipolar electrical oscillation is amplified with at least one amplifier (108, 120) and triggering is performed at a zero level between the extreme values of the bipolar electrical oscillation. In addition, a triggering moment is determined, at which the amplified bipolar electrical oscillation crosses the zero level between its extreme values.
