Patent number: 11995792Abstract: Computer-implemented system and method that allows for the rehabilitation of individuals with strabismus by leveraging commercially available VR headset technology. Eye tracking capabilities and external cameras of existing VR headsets, enables the system and method to first gather the image that the dominant, unaffected eye is focused on (FIG. 1). Then, given where the strabismus unaffected eye's gaze falls on its screen, the system and method will take the image and identify where that point lies on the strabismus affected eye's screen. This point is the ideal gaze point of the strabismus affected eye. The software solution disclosed herein will then warp the strabismus affected eye's screen so that this new gaze will line up with the unaffected eye's gaze.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Inventors: Christopher Pratt Foley, Jr., Carlie Madison Bolling, David Michael Guardiola, Gabriel Khalfani Smith, Katrina Kera Pham

Patent number: 11995166Abstract: Introduced here are approaches to authenticating unknown persons based on variations in the spatial properties and directionality of blood flow through vessels over time. At a high level, these approaches rely on monitoring vascular dynamics to recognize unknown persons. For example, an authentication platform may examine digital images of an anatomical region to establish how a property of the vasculature within the anatomical region changed as a result of deformation. Examples of properties include the position, size, volume, and pressure of vessels included in the vasculature, as well as the velocity and acceleration of blood flowing through the vasculature.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CorporationInventors: Christopher John Wright, David Michael Duffy, Harry Michael Cronin
