Patent number: 8190249Abstract: Certain embodiments relate to a method for determining a condition of a subject, including obtaining a signal, the signal including a plurality of determinable parameters. The method also includes determining at least two of the plurality of determinable parameters from the signal, to yield determined parameters. The method also includes applying a weighting factor to each of the determined parameters to yield weighted parameters, and combining the weighted parameters to determine a numeric value relating to the condition of the subject. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2006Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Infinite Biomedical Technologies, LLCInventors: Reda R.

Patent number: 7744528Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods. One embodiment includes a method for imaging an endometrial cavity, including acquiring a plurality of images using an imaging system. A first part of the imaging system is positioned within the endometrial cavity. At least portions of two or more of the images are combined into a representation of at least a portion of the endometrial cavity. The combining at least portions of two of the images may include determining any motion of the first part of the imaging system, between the two or more of the images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2005Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Infinite Biomedical Technologies, LLCInventors: Jeffrey M. Wallace, Ananth Natarajan, Santosh Venkatesha, Keith Peacock, Nitish V. Thakor
