Abstract: A diffuse optical tomography (DOT) system for generating a functional image of a lesion region of a subject is described. The DOT system includes a source subsystem configured to generate optical waves, a probe coupled to the source subsystem and configured to emit the optical waves generated by the source subsystem toward the lesion region and to detect optical waves reflected by the lesion region, a detection subsystem configured to convert the optical waves detected by the probe to digital signals, and a computing device including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that program the processor to receive the digital signals sent from the detection subsystem and perform reconstruction using a depth-regularized reconstruction algorithm combined with a semi-automated interactive convolutional neural network (CNN) for depth-dependent reconstruction of absorption distribution.

Abstract: A high lumen output flashlight includes a flashlight head at a first end of the flashlight and a power assembly at a second end of the flashlight. The power assembly includes power management module body member with a pivotally mounted cover selectively covering a recess formed in a second end of the power management module body member. An O-ring is positioned between the pivotally mounted cover and the power management module body member in a manner providing waterproof or water resistant protection. A central body member is positioned between the flashlight head and the power assembly. The flashlight head includes an outer body member secured to a first end of the central body member and an LED light assembly is positioned within the outer body member. The outer body member includes a plastic heat insulating ring.

Abstract: A flashlight includes a light assembly at a first end of the flashlight. The light assembly includes an LED light generating module. The flashlight also includes a power assembly having a power management module body member which houses a charging input port, a USB output port, a LED power indicator, or a power indicator button. A selectively movable sleeve covers the charging input port, the USB output port, the LED power indicator, or the power indicator button when they are not in use, wherein the sleeve moves relative to the power management module body member in linear and rotational directions. The flashlight also includes a central body member between the light assembly and the power assembly.

Abstract: An improved paint spray gun, including high volume and low pressure air paint spray guns, siphon-type paint spray guns, and gravity-fed-type spray guns, having a built-in gas pressure gauge.

Abstract: An improved paint spray gun, including high volume and low pressure air paint spray guns, siphon-type paint spray guns, and gravity-fed-type spray guns, in which the spray pattern may be adjusted single-handedly with the gripping hand while in use. The invention includes a thumb and/or finger adjustable wheel rotatably mounted in the spray gun that is accessible while gripping the spray gun and may be used to adjust the spray characteristics of paint or similar liquid being sprayed.

Abstract: A three-in-one pneumatic tool combining interchangeable tool heads with a standard pneumatic rotary drive assembly. The system includes drill, die grinder, and ratchet tool heads that may be attached/detached as desired from a pneumatic drive assembly. A quick-release coupling mounted at the mating end of the pneumatic drive assembly allows the user to easily insert the corresponding mating end of the various tool heads into the pneumatic drive so they may then be used in the same manner as their more traditional versions.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a decorative apparatus for presenting visual images having the appearance of motion constructed of a front panel picture member mounted to a rear panel housing. The front panel picture member is a rectangular glass pane painted on the front face to define a transparent window and a translucent photographic picture mounted on a rear face of the planar member and framed by a border painted on the front face. The rear panel housing has a drive motor mounted to the housing which is connected to a rotatable driving roller which is also mounted to the housing. A driven roller is mounted to the housing oriented parallel to driving roller with an endless loop of transparent film having random designs applied thereon engaging the rollers.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward an electro-mechanical simulated aquarium. It includes a novel combination of a planetary gear train driving two endless loops of transparent material in counter-rotating directions. Depictions of marine life are applied to the loops and the entire arrangement is housed in an aquarium-like enclosure in order to maximize its realism.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward an illuminated picture frame having a base panel and a front panel removably mounted to the base panel through the use of corner magnets. The base panel is formed with a top planar surface defining a rib structure extending from said planar surface for seating a light diffusion member, a photograph and a transparent cover for said photograph to be illuminated. A light source in the form of an LED strip is mounted on the top planar surface adjacent the light diffusion member and is connected by wiring to a battery power source. The base panel has a bottom planar surface with a mating assembly in the form of a plurality of sets of “L” shaped tracks formed on the planar surface for mounting a stand assembly, the stand assembly defining a housing containing at least one battery for powering the light source and defining a back planar surface with complimentary mating members which are slideably mounted on the base panel bottom planar surface tracks.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a motion picture display apparatus constructed with a casing, an undulating lens mounted on the casing, a motor mounted in the casing, and a background picture disposed on rear of the display apparatus. The motion picture display apparatus is driven by a motor and drive assembly comprising a driving shaft connected to the motor, a driven shaft and a transparent film which is rotatably connected between the driving shaft and the driven shaft in an endless rotating manner. The dynamic picture comprises a plurality of designs having at least two design layers, and the contents and colors of the design layer are identically printed on the film and viewable from the obverse and reverse surfaces. A light source disposed on a rear portion of the background picture illuminates the background picture.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a sealed-type fountain with infinitely variable fluid jets controlled by the user or changes in sound inputs therein. It is ideally designed for wall hanging in order to minimize the space required for its use. The wall hanging music fountain includes a frame and sealed fluid containment structure, fluid tank, controllers, and fluid pump coupled to a fluid distribution manifold. Fluid nozzles and LEDs are mounted in an aesthetically pleasing pattern onto a fluid distribution manifold mounted in proximity to the base of the fluid containment structure, and coupled to the controllers and fluid pump. When activated by the user, variations in sound from an integrated audio playback device cause aesthetically pleasing changes in the patterns of fluid nozzle and LED activation in the device.
