  • Computer input devices and associated computing devices, software, and methods
    Patent number: 9811173
    Abstract: Computer input devices include a detector adapted to detect relative movement of an input member in x-, y-, and z-dimensions relative to a base point in a base plane, and a controller adapted to send a signal to an associated computing device based at least in part on the relative movement of the input member. Associated computing devices, software, and methods are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODELING SKIN SENSITIZATION
    Publication number: 20100049492
    Abstract: The invention encompasses novel computer models of chemical sensitivity of skin and systems for predicting chemical sensitivity of skin. In particular, the computer model of chemical sensitivity of skin comprises a) an epidermal compartment comprising a mathematical representation of exposure of an epidermal tissue to a chemical and a mathematical representation of a first population of antigen presenting cells interacting with the chemical; and b) a lymph node compartment comprising a mathematical representation of a second population of antigen presenting cells, and a mathematical representation of a population of T cells, wherein at least a subpopulation of the population of T cells interacts with the second population of antigen presenting cells.
