US12196683B2	Method for notifying sample analyzer status and sample analysis system The present invention is to present a status notification method for the sample analyzer. The method includes a detection step for detecting the status of the sample analyzer for analyzing the sample, and an irradiating step for irradiating light upward in accordance with the detection step.
US12196678B2	Luminescence imaging for gemstone screening Systems and methods here may be used for a setup of image capturing of a gemstone, such as a diamond, exposed to different light sources. Some examples utilize a setup that both sends light and captures the image through multiple dichroic beam splitters at pre-selected timing. The multiple light source and multiple dichroic beam splitter arrangement allows for multiple gemstones to be analyzed using multiple methods with minimal moving, changing, or adjusting the equipment for different samples.
US12196674B2	Detection device and detection method The present invention relates to providing a detection device that uses surface plasmon resonance to detect the presence or the amount of a substance to be detected, in which a detection unit can accurately detect scattered light without detecting stray light, and can accurately determine an irradiation angle of excitation light. This detection method uses the detection device that uses surface plasmon resonance to detect the presence or the amount of a substance to be detected. A detection range control unit controls a detection range of a detection unit so that a detection range utilized when the detection unit detects scattered light emitted from a metallic film and front a region on the metallic film differs from a detection range utilized when the detection unit detects fluorescence emitted front a fluorescent substance labeling the substance to be detected winch has been captured by a capturing body.
US12196672B2	Apparatuses, systems, and methods for sample testing Methods, apparatuses, and systems associated with a sample testing device are provided. For example, an example sample testing device may include a substrate layer defining a bottom surface of the sample testing device, as well as a waveguide disposed on the substrate layer and includes at least one reference channel and at least one sample channel.
