Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems, devices, and methods of monitoring at-risk individuals for the occurrence of sentinel events in a custodial care setting. In particular, the present invention is directed to monitoring for events such as suicide, and allowing monitoring personnel to actively respond to the event and prevent its success from occurring.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided for generating an enhanced image of an object. The method includes obtaining images of an area of an object generated using a probe of having a probe size greater than or equal to a minimum probe area size. An enhanced image of the area of the object is generated by accurately computing the emission intensities emitted from pixel areas smaller than the minimum probe size and within the area of the object. This is repeated for other areas of the object to form other enhanced images. The enhanced images are combined to form an accurate enhanced image of the object.

Abstract: A system and method for endoscopic measurement and mapping of internal organs, tumors and other objects. The system includes an endoscope with a plurality of light sources and at least one camera; a processor; a memory; and a program stored in the memory. The program, when executed by the processor, carries out steps including projecting light beams from the plurality of light sources so light points associated with the light beams appear on an object; and generating at least one image frame of the object based on the light points. The program, when executed by the processor, can further carry out steps including converging positions of the light points and determining a measurement of the object. The determining step can further include using a “shape from motion” process, a “shape from shading” process, and an inter-frame correspondence process, and can be performed by a third party for a transactional accommodation.

Abstract: Methods for modifying carbon nanotubes with organic compounds are disclosed. The modified carbon nanotubes have enhanced compatibility with polyolefins. Nanocomposites of the organo-modified carbon nanotubes and polyolefins can be used to produce both fibers and films having enhanced mechanical and electrical properties, especially the elongation-to-break ratio and the toughness of the fibers and/or films.
