摘要 |
An apparatus and method for detecting the presence and measuring the concentrations of molecules through a barrier and/or at a distance utilizes the principle of chemical/electrostatic attraction (hereinafter "affinity"), i.e., the affinity between charged atoms and molecules that cause their chemical interactions and reactions, to infer, based on the behavior of molecules on one side of the barrier, the presence and concentration of corresponding molecules on the other side of the barrier. The invention is useful, by way of example and not limitation, in non-invasively measuring glucose levels of diabetic patients.
