  • Publication number: 20200402309
    Abstract: A system, method, and chip, which may be used for attaching digital reality applications to and enabling interactions with dynamic objects in a virtual world. The system comprises a server comprising a persistent virtual world system storing virtual replicas of static and dynamic real world objects. A client device connected to the server via a network enables interaction with one or more digital reality applications virtually attached to dynamic objects of the real world. Chips installed on dynamic objects of the real world store dynamic object data comprising at least geo-location data of the host dynamic objects. Combining static object data stored in the server and the dynamic object data generates a persistent virtual world system that can be streamed to the client device for interaction with users while accurately tracking the dynamic objects and client devices.

  • Publication number: 20200400563
    Abstract: A system for the identification of micro-organisms includes an irradiation unit adapted to sequentially provide coherent electromagnetic radiation of one or more wavelengths along a common optical path. A holder is adapted to retain a substrate having a surface adapted for growth of a micro-organism colony. A beamsplitter is adapted to direct the coherent electromagnetic radiation from the common optical path towards the retained substrate. An imager is arranged opposite the beamsplitter from the retained substrate and is adapted to obtain images of backward-scattered light patterns from the micro-organism colony irradiated by the respective wavelengths of the directed coherent electromagnetic radiation. Some examples provide radiation of multiple wavelengths and include an imager arranged optically downstream of the retained substrate to obtain images of forward-scattered light patterns from the micro-organism colony irradiated by the wavelengths of radiation.

  • Publication number: 20200397283
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to quantify human corneal tissue parameters to improve biomechanical modelling of refractive and therapeutic procedures to reduce or eliminate refractive errors and unwanted wavefront aberrations. The analysis of the preoperative biomechanical properties of cornea assists in predicting the postoperative biomechanical response of cornea. The computational models of extreme properties of the corneal tissue are conducted and the 3-D finite element models are populated with tomographic information of the cornea and artificial intelligence is trained to consider the pre-operative characteristics of the corneal tissue. The post-operative refractive procedures are simulated using the said finite element models. Finally, biomechanical deformations are prospectively estimated and method builds a deep learning approach to link clinical features to changes in biochemical outcomes.
