Ngenyanga eyedlule, umbiko wathi i-Apple Watch elandelayo (okungaqondakali ukuthi yi-Apple Watch 7) ingathola ukuqapha ushukela egazini. Manje, uchungechunge lwamalungelo obunikazi oludalulwe yi-Apple Insider lukhombisa ukuthi i-Apple kungenzeka ukuthi isebenzela inzwa entsha ye-terahertz yokuqapha i-glucose engahlaseli.
Iziguli ezine kuphela ezinesisodwa eziphambili nezinye ezintathu ezifanayo (nge AppleInsider) zifakwe kwi-USPTO (I-United States Patent kanye neHhovisi Lomkhiqizo). Ngenkathi kungekho neyodwa yazo enegama "ukuqapha ushukela / wegazi", zihlobene nokubukwa okubonakalayo ezintweni zikagesi.
Uma ukhumbula, i-Quantum Operation ikhombise uhlobo oluthile lwe- “spectrometer-based” olusebenza ekuxhumaneni kokukhanya nesihlakala e-CES 2021. Lapha, amalungelo obunikazi e-Apple ahlanganisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinzwa zangaphandle ze-terahertz spectroscopy kanye ne-imaging ezindaweni ezinamandla.
I-Apple iqala ngezingqinamba ezifana nokushoda kwesikhala sezinzwa ezintsha zokuvula / zokuvula, ukuncipha kokumelana namanzi, ukwanda kwezindleko kukonke, nokuningi. Idizayini yangaphambilini ye- "gas sensor". Ngakho-ke, ilungelo lakhe lobunikazi elisha libhekisa ekusetshenzisweni kwemisebe ye-terahertz (THz) ye-electromagnetic radiation (EMP) kumasu wangaphambilini we-spectroscopic.
Isidlulisi sedivayisi kagesi sizokhipha amagagasi kagesi endaweni ye-THz enamandla njengesikhumba somsebenzisi. Owamukelayo uzobe esedonsela emuva igagasi elibonisiwe. Impendulo ye-spectral, ene-absorption spectra (idatha yesithiyo), bese iqhathaniswa ne-spectra eyaziwa (amanani agxilile).
U-Apple wengeza ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe bungadlula ukuqapha kwe-glucose okungahlaseli. Ithi i-spectroscopy yokumuncwa izodlala indima ebalulekile empilweni iyonke, okuhlanganisa nokutholwa komdlavuza/izifo zesikhumba esikhathini esizayo.
Kunoma ikuphi, ubuchwepheshe busha futhi abuvuthiwe, ngakho-ke budinga ucwaningo oluningi, ngoba okwamanje lungahluka ezindleleni zokuqapha izibhedlela.
