Noninvasive alcohol sensor
First Claim
1. A method for determining a blood-alcohol level of an individual, the method comprising:
- receiving electromagnetic radiation emanating from tissue of the individual in response to propagation of electromagnetic radiation into the tissue of the individual;
analyzing spectral properties of the received electromagnetic radiation; and
determining the blood-alcohol level from the analyzed spectral properties.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for biometric sensing. An illumination subsystem provides light at discrete wavelengths to a skin site of an individual. A detection subsystem receives light scattered from the skin site. A computational unit is interfaced with the detection system. The computational unit has instructions for deriving a spatially distributed multispectral image from the received light at the discrete wavelengths. The computational unit also has instructions for comparing the derived multispectral image with a database of multispectral images to identify the individual.
