Patent number: 7918780Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and “measured,” and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to “measure” the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answering the questionnaires. The “stimulus” can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a “blank stimulus” is normally used during one of the stress intervals.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2006Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Magda El-Nokaly, Michael Lee Hilton, Kevin Lee Doyle, Daniel Raymond Schaiper, Abel Saud, Diane Lynn Prickel

Patent number: 7389777Abstract: A method is provided to quantify and/or qualify psychological and physiological components of stress in mammals, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves the steps of measuring one or more physiological and/or psychological characteristics before and after the administration of a stimulus to a test subject. The stimulus may consist of any product, task, aroma or the like that elicits a stress-related response upon administration. By analyzing the resulting measurements, and optionally comparing physiological and psychological characteristics where both are measured, an overall level of stress may be determined. The method of stress measurement may further be used in product development and/or testing.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2007Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Magda El-Nokaly, Michael Lee Hilton, Daniel Raymond Schaiper, Fernando Benvegnu

Patent number: 6571003Abstract: The apparatus and method of the present invention provides a process that can be implemented by a human operator and a computing device to analyze and display human skin images. The system acquires a digital image from a camera or scanner. Subsequently, the system determines which area(s) of the image to analyze using landmarks such as the corner of the eye. The determined areas are then analyzed to locate skin defects such as red spots, and the defects are visually identified on a display. A severity is calculated for the defects and the severity is compared to an average skin severity associated with a population of people. In addition, a simulation is generated and displayed showing an improvement to the defect areas.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Greg George Hillebrand, Kukizo Miyamoto, Brian Dale Barford, Joseph Michael Miller, Mark Steven Hayworth, Michael Lee Hilton, Gary Gordon Heaton, Michael Eugene Rubush
