  • Patent number: 11853708
    Abstract: This invention is a method for detecting AI-written material which evaluates authorship more directly than purely machine-based methods of AI detection. This method automatically selects relatively-rare key words and/or phrases used in a submitted body of text which is asserted to have been written by a specific person and creates a test to measure understanding of those key words and/or phrases which is administered to that person.

  • Publication number: 20230389803
    Abstract: This device is a multi-layer smart bra or bra insert for optical detection of breast cancer. It has four layers: an air-gap-reducing layer; an optical layer with a plurality of light emitters and light detectors; an expandable layer; and a structural layer. Light from the light emitters which has been transmitted through and/or reflected from breast tissue and received by the light detectors is analyzed to detect and/or image abnormal breast tissue.

  • Patent number: 11754843
    Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with a radial, honeycomb, or nested-ring array of selectively-movable reflective elements. These reflective elements can each be moved from a first configuration which is parallel to a line of sight from an eye to a second configuration which is perpendicular to this line of sight. The second configuration reflects light displaying a virtual image to the eye and blocks environmental light in the area of the virtual image. Since light from the environment does not shine through the virtual object, the virtual object appears solid instead of “ghost like.

  • Publication number: 20230148868
    Abstract: This invention is a wearable device or system for optical analysis of breast tissue which be embodied in a “smart bra” or an insert which is placed into the cup of a conventional bra. This device or system has light emitters which transmit light into breast tissue and light receivers which receive the light after it has been transmitted through the breast tissue. It also has expandable chambers which gently compress a breast to reduce light diffusion and improve optical scanning of breast tissue.

  • Publication number: 20230125258
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is augmented reality (AR) eyewear with at least one array of individually-adjustable optical elements whose levels of light transmission and/or reflectivity are selectively and individually adjusted by application of electrical current, or by exposure to an electromagnetic field, via transparent (or translucent) electroconductive pathways. Optical elements in this array collectively comprise a section of a Fresnel Reflector which has been selected (e.g. extracted or “cut out”) from the right side or the left side of a Fresnel Reflector.

  • Publication number: 20220254019
    Abstract: A method for remote medical imaging involves displaying augmented reality (AR) images on a remote patient's smart phone or smart eyewear. The augmented reality images guide the patient concerning how to move their mobile and/or wearable device relative to a wound, injury, lesion, or abnormality on their body in order to capture images of the wound, injury, lesion, and/or abnormality from different distances and angles. These images are then integrated into a 3D digital image for medical diagnosis or treatment.

  • Patent number: 11176669
    Abstract: This invention is a system for remote medical imaging which uses conventional mobile devices (such as two smart phones) and/or augmented reality to calibrate attributes such as the size, color, and shape of a wound, injury, skin lesion, and/or tissue abnormality on a person's body. One of the mobile devices is placed near the wound, injury, skin lesion, and/or tissue abnormality and acts as a digital fiducial marker or color key to help calibrate the size, color, and/or shape of the wound, injury, skin lesion, and/or tissue abnormality.

  • Publication number: 20210022613
    Abstract: This invention is a wearable optical breast imaging device (such as a “smart bra”) with at least one cup, multiple light emitters on the interior of the cup which emit light beams at different times, and multiple light receivers on the interior of the cup. Changes in the spectra of light energy caused by transmission of the light energy through breast tissue are analyzed to diagnose whether there is abnormal tissue within the breast and, if so, to identify the location of abnormal tissue within the breast.

  • Patent number: 10338400
    Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with Volumetric Annular Photon Emission (VAPE) technology comprising: an annular light projector; an annular light reflector/refractor which redirects light rays from the annular light projector away from the person's eye; and a semi-reflective eyewear lens which reflects light rays from the projector back toward the person's eye and also transmits light rays from the environment toward the person's eye. This technology can enable a person to see their environment with minimal vision impairment while simultaneously displaying virtual objects with minimal light loss.
