20090076368 | Integrated imaging workstation and a method for improving, objectifying and documenting in vivo examinations of the uterus - Exemplary embodiments provide an imaging workstation with improved ergonomics, and a method for improving, objectifying and documenting in vivo examinations of the uterus. The imaging workstation may include an imaging head and a display, and may include mechanical supporting structures that allow the imaging head, display, and examination area to be simultaneously placed in an examiner's field of view. The imaging workstation may include means for the uniform application of a diagnostic marker. The method may involve acquiring a reference image of a tissue surface, applying a diagnostic marker and initiating image acquisition, acquiring tissue images in time sequence, aligning the captured images, and calculating dynamic optical curves and dynamic optical parameters from the images. The curves and parameters may be used to create a pseudocolor map representing different functional or structural features represented in the images, or different pathologies. | 03-19-2009 |
20090253991 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERIZATION AND MAPPING OF TISSUE LESIONS - The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for the in vivo, non-invasive, early detection of alterations and mapping of the grade of these alterations, causing in the biochemical and/or in the functional characteristics of the epithelial tissues during the development of tissue atypias, dysplasias, neoplasias and cancers. The method is based, at least in part, on the simultaneous measurement of the spatial, temporal and spectral alterations in the characteristics of the light that is re-emitted from the tissue under examination, as a result of a combined tissue excitation with light and special chemical agents. The topical or systematic administration of these agents result in an evanescent contrast enhancement between normal and abnormal areas of tissue. The apparatus enables the capturing of temporally successive imaging in one or more spectral bands simultaneously. Based on the measured data, the characteristic curves that express the agent-tissue interaction kinetics, as well as numerical parameters derived from these data, are determined in any spatial point of the examined area. Mapping and characterization of the lesion, are based on these parameters. | 10-08-2009 |

20090268214 | PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUES FOR 3D ACQUISITION - A photogrammetric system and techniques applicable to photogrammetric systems in general are provided. The system provides the choice between the various types of light projection on the object to be measured and methods for retrieving 3D points on the object using a pattern projection method, a coded light method, and/or a method using intrinsic features of the object or a combination of such methods. A first technique provides camera position approximation using known distances between features. A second technique provides image processing parameters that take into account the local distance and orientation of the object to measured. A third technique provides the 3D correction of the position of the center of a sphere when imaging a spherical object. | 10-29-2009 |

20140048205 | Method of Manufacturing a Seal of a Vacuum Bag for an Infusion Molding Process - A method is disclosed for forming a seal on a vacuum bag used in an infusion molding process. A seal profile having a first part and a second part is attached to a supporting surface and resin is applied to the seal profile to form a mold layer. The mold layer and the seal profile are separated from the supporting surface. The second part of the seal profile is separated from the first part of the seal profile. A silicone resin is applied to the mold layer and the first part of the seal profile to form the seal and the vacuum bag. A vacuum cavity is created between the mold layer and the second resin when the second resin is applied to the first part of the seal profile. | 02-20-2014 |
20140050813 | Edge Seal on a Vacuum Bag Used in an Infusion Molding Process - A seal is provided on a vacuum bag used in an infusion molding process. The seal is a truncated V-shape that has convergent walls and a distal end that defines a vacuum channel in conjunction with an infusion mold. | 02-20-2014 |

20120260948 | CLEANING DEVICE WITH SINGLE TANK RECYCLING SYSTEM - A cleaning device may include a solution tank configured to store cleaning solution. The solution tank may include an inlet and an outlet. The cleaning device may include at least one discharge line filter in fluid communication with the solution tank and a pump having a pump intake and a pump discharge. The pump may be configured to direct cleaning solution from the solution tank outlet through the at least one discharge line filter. The cleaning device may include a cleaning head in fluid communication with the pump discharge and a bypass line in fluid communication with the pump discharge and the inlet. The bypass line may be configured to divert cleaning solution received from the pump discharge away from the cleaning head and toward the solution tank. | 10-18-2012 |
20130173056 | Short-Range Sonar - A short-range sonar assembly. The assembly includes a local controller operably connected to a processing device and configured to receive instructions from the processing device, a first transducer operably connected to the local controller, a second transducer operably connected to the local controller; and a flared bell configured to house the local controller, first transducer, and second transducer. The flared bell includes a first enclosure configured to receive and house the first transducer and a second enclosure configured to receive and house the second transducer. The first transducer is configured to transmit one or more pulses and the second transducer is configured to receive echoed pulses. | 07-04-2013 |
20130173057 | Long-Range Sonar - A long-range sonar assembly for detecting objects approximately 2.5-9.5 meters from a robotic device. The assembly includes a printed circuit board including a local controller operably connected to a processing device and configured to receive instructions from the processing device, a transmit potentiometer operably connected to the local controller and configured to produce a first transmit frequency, and a receive potentiometer operably connected to the local controller and configured to produce a first receive sensitivity; a transducer operably connected to the receive potentiometer; and a flared bell configured to house the transducer and the printed circuit board, the flared bell comprising at least a first enclosure for receiving a sub-assembly comprising the printed circuit board and the transducer. | 07-04-2013 |
