  • Patent number: 10463249
    Abstract: An eye movement-based methodology and assessment tool may be used to quantify many aspects of human dynamic visual processing using a relatively simple and short oculomotor task, noninvasive video-based eye tracking, and validated oculometric analysis techniques. By examining the eye movement responses to a task including a radially-organized appropriately randomized sequence of Rashbass-like step-ramp pursuit-tracking trials, distinct performance measurements may be generated that may be associated with, for example, pursuit initiation (e.g., latency and open-loop pursuit acceleration), steady-state tracking (e.g., gain, catch-up saccade amplitude, and the proportion of the steady-state response consisting of smooth movement), direction tuning (e.g., oblique effect amplitude, horizontal-vertical asymmetry, and direction noise), and speed tuning (e.g., speed responsiveness and noise). This quantitative approach may provide fast and results (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10448828
    Abstract: An optical imaging device may include a support structure and imaging channels, where each imaging channel may include a discrete optical imaging pathway. The optical imaging device may also include image capturing devices respectively associated with one of the imaging channels to capture a first set of digital photograph images of respective portions of the eye. In some embodiments, the first set of digital photograph images may overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the first set of digital photograph images form a first composite image with a first set of scallops. Additionally, the optical imaging device may be rotated to capture a second set of digital photograph images that overlap each other and may be stitched together such that the second set of digital photograph images form a second composite image with a second set of scallops positioned differently than the first set of scallops.

  • Patent number: 10451950
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure concern controllers and control methods for applying a drive voltage to bus bars of optically switchable devices such as electrochromic devices. Such devices are often provided on windows such as architectural glass. In certain embodiments, the applied drive voltage is controlled in a manner that efficiently drives an optical transition over the entire surface of the electrochromic device. The drive voltage is controlled to account for differences in effective voltage experienced in regions between the bus bars and regions proximate the bus bars. Regions near the bus bars experience the highest effective voltage.

  • Patent number: 10420465
    Abstract: Various conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), diseases, injuries, and/or other impairments, may be diagnosed by deriving a sensitive overall indicator of impairment of sensorimotor functional status based on results of an eye-movement assessment test that includes an appropriately randomized, radial tracking task together with a broad set of oculometric measures. The oculometric measures may be combined to yield the sensitive overall indicator of a particular impairment state. More specifically, the oculometric measures may be vectorized to help diagnose both the type of TBI, disease, or impairment and the extent thereof.
