  • Patent number: 11950848
    Abstract: An example system for microvascular assessment of a patient can include: a fundus imaging device including: a camera configured to capture one or more images of an eye of the patient; and at least one light source; and a microvascular assessment computing device including: a processor; and memory encoding instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: activate the light source to direct light at a fundus of the eye of the patient; capture, with the camera, one or more images of the fundus of the patient, the fundus comprising a plurality of blood vessels; and analyze with the microvascular assessment computing device, the one or more images to determine a microvasculature health index for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20090091086
    Abstract: Certain game tables requiring a level playing surface for an unbiased playing experience. However, due to physical motion and natural settling most game tables pitch and roll change over time, thereby developing a table bias. Most of the time a player would not know if and when a table bias was affecting their game. Therefore a player could never be sure that they were engaged in an entirely fair competition. This is very unsatisfactory. I propose incorporating a level indicating device into a game table so that a player will always be assured that the playing surface is in an equilibrium orientation. Alternatively if bias were to occur it could be easily identified and corrected through use of the level-indicating device.
