Detecting, localizing, and targeting internal sites in vivo using optical contrast agents

InactiveUS6167297ARapid localizationRapid imaging and localization and positioning and targetingNanoinformaticsDiagnostics using spectroscopyInstrumentationMedical procedure
A system for detecting, localizing and targeting a medical instrument toward a target tissue within the body using an optical contrast agent in which a light source (102) is optically coupled to the tissue to be diagnosed (135), a light detector (174) is optically coupled to the tissue to detect a portion of the light which passes through the tissue, and either one or both of the light source and light detector are coupled to a medical instrument (130) used in a medical procedure. A contrast locator engine (184) receives a signal from the detector and provides an target tissue output signal (195) based upon the localization and distribution of the contrast agent, allowing the target tissue to be detected, located, or imaged, and for the medical instrument to positioned or targeted relative to the target tissue, and for allowing the accuracy of placement or the progress of a procedure to be assessed in real time. A method for the system is also described.

Real-time facial recognition and verification system

InactiveUS7130454B1Small sizeAccess can be limited and restrictedAcquiring/recognising eyesPattern recognitionObject based
A system and method for acquiring, processing, and comparing an image with a stored image to determine if a match exists. In particular, the system refines the image data associated with an object based on pre-stored color values, such as flesh tone color. The system includes a storage element for storing flesh tone colors of a plurality of people, and a defining stage for localizing a region of interest in the image. A combination stage combines the unrefined region of interest with one or more pre-stored flesh tone colors to refine the region of interest based on color. This flesh tone color matching ensures that at least a portion of the image corresponding to the unrefined-region of interest having flesh tone color is incorporated into the refined region of interest. Hence, the system can localize the head, based on the flesh tone color of the skin of the face in a rapid manner. According to one practice, the refined region of interest is smaller than or about equal to the unrefined region of interest. This method and apparatus are particularly adapted to consumer devices such as hand-held devices and cars.

Device and process for manipulating real and virtual objects in three-dimensional space

A device and software system with input and output capability for manipulating real and virtual objects in 3-dimensional space. The device consists of a six degree-of-freedom mechanical armature that has sensors to determine the location and orientation of a stylus and planar surface. In the input mode, manipulation of the physical armature will result in a corresponding two-dimensional, virtual image of the stylus and surface on a computer screen. The armature also has motors to automatically change the armature location and orientation in order to generate a physical representation in the real world of the location and orientation of a virtual object. The armature is built so that it maintains balance at any location and orientation to statically maintain the armature location and orientation without drifting to a null rest position.

Method of detecting and locating a source of partial discharge in an electrical apparatus

A method of detecting and localizing a source of partial discharge in an electrical apparatus placed in an enclosure containing an acoustically-conductive fluid. The method consists in: positioning (31) acoustic detectors and acquiring the positions of the detectors; defining (35) groups of detectors, each group including at least three detectors; ensuring (37) that each group is free from any triangle having vertices embodied by three detectors in which at least one angle lies outside a range of angles, and otherwise eliminating the group; for each non-eliminated group, calculating (38) an approximate position for the source; ensuring (39) that each non-eliminated group is free from any triangle having vertices embodied by two detectors of the group and by the approximate position, including at least one angle that lies outside the range, and otherwise eliminating the group; and calculating (43) the looked-for position of the source by averaging the approximate positions of all or some of the non-eliminated groups.

Compositions and methods for producing vascular occlusion using a solid-phase platelet binding agent

The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for targeting and delivering solid-phase platelet-dependent vascular occlusion agents. In particular, particles or coils or stents coated with platelet binding agents are directed to target vasculature, such as the vasculature of solid tumor masses or AV-malformations or aneurysms or endoleaks; the solid-phase agent then binds and activates platelets, which in turn bind and activate other platelets. This process results in the rapid formation of a platelet-mediated thrombus about the solid-phase agent causing vessel occlusion.

Method and apparatus for the aggregation and indexing of message parts in multipart mime objects

An indexing mechanism for multipart messages, such as multipart Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) multipart messages, which contain several parts from different objects. The indexing enables an identification of the content of the message and the fast locating of a specific part in a multipart MIME container. When a multipart MIME with subtype “related” is used for aggregating parts of different messages, the indexing may choose to list only the generic parts of each message. Each generic part will reference the other related parts so as to enable the extraction of all related parts of a specific message in an efficient manner.
