  • Patent number: 12201402
    Abstract: This invention is a wearable device or system for optical analysis of breast tissue which be embodied in a “smart bra” or an insert which is placed into the cup of a conventional bra. This device or system has light emitters which transmit light into breast tissue and light receivers which receive the light after it has been transmitted through the breast tissue. It also has expandable chambers which gently compress a breast to reduce light diffusion and improve optical scanning of breast tissue.

  • Publication number: 20240427157
    Abstract: This invention is an optical structure with a plurality of movable reflective elements. These reflective elements have first configurations which allow transmission of environmental light. These reflective elements have second configurations which block (or reduce) transmission of environmental light and which reflect light from a virtual-object display toward a person's eye. This enables display of a relatively-opaque virtual object in an area of a person's field of view, while providing the person with a relatively-clear view of their environment in the rest of their field of view.

  • Publication number: 20240402504
    Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with a first mode which provides a clear, bright, wide-angle environment-only view when needed and a second mode which displays an augmented reality view when needed. This eyewear can have a virtual-object-display component which pivots between being on an eyewear sidepiece (e.g. temple) and being in front of a person's eye. It also includes a light emitter, wherein the virtual-object-display component reflects and/or refracts light from the light emitter toward the person's eye when the virtual-object-display component is in its second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240378382
    Abstract: This invention is a method for detecting AI-written material which evaluates authorship more directly than purely machine-based methods of AI detection. This method automatically selects relatively-rare key words and/or phrases used in a submitted body of text which is asserted to have been written by a specific person and creates a test to measure understanding of those key words and/or phrases which is administered to that person.

  • Publication number: 20240298968
    Abstract: A smart bra enables optical detection of abnormal breast tissue. A cup on the bra has an inelastic portion which is closer to a person's chest wall and an elastic portion which is farther from the chest wall. Light from light emitters on one side of the cup is transmitted through a breast to light receivers on the other side of the cup. Changes in this light caused by interaction with tissue are analyzed to detect abnormal breast tissue. Expandable chambers in the cup gently compress the breast to improve optical scanning.

  • Publication number: 20240242450
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is adjustable and/or modular augmented reality eyewear with a first viewing mode which optimizes a person's view of the real world and a second viewing mode which optimizes the person's view of virtual objects. The viewing mode is changed by moving a transflective mirror from a first location to a second location. The second location is closer to the center of the person's field of view than the first location. When the transflective mirror is in the person's field of view and reflects light from a display toward the person's eyes, then it displays a virtual object in the person's field of view.

  • Publication number: 20240197257
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for using a cellphone to capture images of a portion of a patient's body from different angles and distances. These images are integrated together to create a digital 3D image of the portion of the person's body which is: analyzed using machine learning and/or artificial intelligence; and/or examined by a remote healthcare provider.

  • Patent number: 12013538
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is augmented reality (AR) eyewear with at least one array of individually-adjustable optical elements whose levels of light transmission and/or reflectivity are selectively and individually adjusted by application of electrical current, or by exposure to an electromagnetic field, via transparent (or translucent) electroconductive pathways. Optical elements in this array collectively comprise a section of a Fresnel Reflector which has been selected (e.g. extracted or “cut out”) from the right side or the left side of a Fresnel Reflector.

  • Patent number: 12014500
    Abstract: A method for remote medical imaging involves displaying augmented reality (AR) images on a remote patient's smart phone or smart eyewear. The augmented reality images guide the patient concerning how to move their mobile and/or wearable device relative to a wound, injury, lesion, or abnormality on their body in order to capture images of the wound, injury, lesion, and/or abnormality from different distances and angles. These images are then integrated into a 3D digital image for medical diagnosis or treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230389803
    Abstract: This device is a multi-layer smart bra or bra insert for optical detection of breast cancer. It has four layers: an air-gap-reducing layer; an optical layer with a plurality of light emitters and light detectors; an expandable layer; and a structural layer. Light from the light emitters which has been transmitted through and/or reflected from breast tissue and received by the light detectors is analyzed to detect and/or image abnormal breast tissue.

  • Patent number: 11754843
    Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with a radial, honeycomb, or nested-ring array of selectively-movable reflective elements. These reflective elements can each be moved from a first configuration which is parallel to a line of sight from an eye to a second configuration which is perpendicular to this line of sight. The second configuration reflects light displaying a virtual image to the eye and blocks environmental light in the area of the virtual image. Since light from the environment does not shine through the virtual object, the virtual object appears solid instead of “ghost like.
