  • Patent number: 12290338
    Abstract: The present disclosure may be embodied as methods and/or systems for non-contact measuring of an on-body and/or inside-body motion of an individual. A sensing signal is provided within a near-field coupling range of a motion to be measured. In this way, a measurement signal may be generated as the sensing signal modulated by the motion. The sensing signal may be an ID-modulated signal. In some embodiments, the sensing signal is a backscattered RFID link provided a wireless tag. A downlink signal may be provided to power the wireless tag. The sensing signal may be a harmonic of the downlink signal. The measurement signal is detected. The motion is measured based on the measurement signal. The measurement signal may be detected as far-field radiation after transmission through a source of the motion. The measurement signal may be detected as reflected from a source of the motion as antenna reflection.

  • Patent number: 12292380
    Abstract: A detection unit, device, and system for cell capture, spectral analysis, and drug interaction monitoring. The detection unit includes an IR-transparent substrate connected to a plasmonic metasurface with an array of metallic antennas. In a detection device, the detection unit is connected to a microfluidic chamber with a channel such that the channel extends along the metasurface. For the detection system, the detection device is mounted on a microscope. The infrared spectra are collected in reflection, with infrared light impinging on the metasurface from the substrate side and returning back through the substrate in the form of reflected infrared light. The system includes a syringe pump for injecting live cells into the chamber. An AC source is connected to the metasurface for cell capture and its AC voltage creates a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force that causes the live cells to move from the chamber and onto the metasurface for spectral analysis.

  • Patent number: 12288341
    Abstract: A system for processing spatial data may be designed to receive neural network outputs corresponding to a first spatial data set, and translate the neural network outputs corresponding to the first spatial data set based on the motion between a second spatial data set and the first spatial data set. The system may perform zero-gap run length encoding on the neural network outputs to store the neural network outputs in memory. The system may also perform on-the-fly skip zero decoding and bilinear interpolation to translate the neural network outputs.

  • Patent number: 12285260
    Abstract: Methods for fabricating flexible/stretchable circuits can include identifying one or more regions of a printed circuit board (PCB) for selectively removing insulation material. The PCB can include one or more electrically conductive structures arranged on an insulation layer. The method can include applying, within each region of the one or more regions, thermal energy via a heat source to a surface of the PCB within the region such that insulation material of the insulation layer is removed from the region while a portion of the insulation layer beneath the one or more electrically conductive structures is maintained. The flexible/stretchable circuit can be laminated on a soft actuator to form a soft robotic device.

  • Patent number: 12275184
    Abstract: Implanted medical devices need a mechanism of immobilization to surrounding tissues, which minimizes tissue damage while providing reliable long-term anchoring. This disclosure relates to techniques for patterning arbitrarily shaped 3D objects and to patterned balloon devices having micro- or nano-patterning on an outer surface of an inflatable balloon. The external pattern can provide enhanced friction and anchoring in an aqueous environment. Examples of these types of patterns are hexagonal arrays inspired by tree frogs, corrugated patterns, and microneedle patterns. The patterned balloon devices can be disposed between an implant and surrounding tissues to facilitate anchoring of the implant.

  • Patent number: 12279450
    Abstract: Patterning electronic devices using reactive-ion etching of tin oxides is provided. Reactive-ion etching facilitates patterning of tin oxides, such as barium stannate (BaSnO3), at a consistent and controllable etch rate. The reactive-ion etching approach described herein facilitates photolithographic patterning of tin oxide-based semiconductors to produce electronic devices, such as thin-film transistors (TFTs). This approach further patterns a tin oxide-based semiconductor without adversely affecting its electrical properties (e.g., resistivity, electron or hole mobility), as well as maintaining surface roughness. This approach can be used to produce optically transparent devices with high drain current (ID, drain-to-source current per channel width) and high on-off ratio.
