Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an exemplary method that may include steps of receiving a permission indicator identifying a permission by the first user to detect calls being received by the computing device; receiving an indication of a particular call being received from a second user at a particular phone number; detecting a triggering condition to verify when the particular phone number is associated with the particular entity; instructing the computing device to execute a computer routine to verify when the particular phone number is associated with the particular entity; receiving an indication from the computer routine when the particular phone number is not associated with the particular entity; instructing the computing device to perform at least one security action; and instructing to notify a second computing device associated with the particular entity with information pertaining to the particular call.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for minimizing retinal exposure to flash during image gathering for diagnosis. In an embodiment, a system captures a plurality of retinal images of different retinal regions. The system determines that a first portion of a first image does not meet a criterion while a second portion of the first image does meet the criterion, identifies a portion of the retina depicted in the first portion that does not meet the criterion, and determines whether the portion of the retina is depicted in a third portion of a second image and whether the third portion meets the criterion. Responsive to determining that the third portion meets the criterion, the system performs the diagnosis. Responsive to determining that the portion of the retina is not depicted in the second image, the system captures an additional image of the retinal region.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for detecting eye alignment during retinal imaging. In an embodiment, the system receives an infrared stream from an imaging device, the infrared stream showing characteristics of an eye of a patient. The system determines, based on the infrared stream, that the eye is improperly aligned at a first time, and outputs sensory feedback indicative of the improper alignment. The system detects, based on the infrared stream at a second time later than the first time, that the eye is properly aligned, and receives an image of a retina of the properly aligned eye from the imaging device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adjusting flash intensity based on retinal pigmentation. In an embodiment, a processor determines a retinal pigmentation of a retina of an eye positioned at an imaging device. The processor commands the imaging device to adjust an intensity of a flash component from a first intensity to a second intensity based on the retinal pigmentation. The processor commands the imaging device to capture an image that is lit by the flash component at the second intensity, and receives the image from the imaging device.

Abstract: A client for reproducing a video session includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The memory stores a first video frame that includes first video data, a first video sub-frame comprising second video data that is different from the first video data, and a second video sub-frame comprising third video data. The processor generates a second video frame using the first video frame and the first video sub-frame, wherein the third video data is different from the video data of the second video frame. The processor further generates a third video frame using the second video frame and the second video sub-frame, and displays the first video frame.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a computer-based instrumentation system which provides simplified application development and improved performance for instrumentation systems. The present invention provides a system including a software architecture which defines the control and management of an instrumentation system. The present invention includes a base object class, an object manager, session and resource classes, and one or more resource templates. The instrumentation system of the present invention provides a plurality of instrument control resources which are used as building blocks to create instrument drivers and higher level applications. The present invention also uses object oriented technology which allows device resources to be easily combined to create higher level applications. The present invention is independent of I/O interface type, operating system, and programming language while also providing a common look and feel and consistent API to the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling instrumentation systems and for providing a user with the capability to develop instrument drivers and application software for controlling instrumentation systems. The present invention provides a system including a software architecture which defines the control and management of an instrumentation system. The method of the present invention utilizes a device resource independence approach whereby the individual capabilities of devices are broken down into a plurality of objects called resources and these resources are then used to develop instrument drivers or instrument control applications. The method of the present invention also uses object oriented technology which allows device resources to be easily combined to create higher level applications. The present invention is independent of I/O interface type, operating system, and programming language while also providing a common look and feel and consistent API to the user.
