  • Patent number: 12675886
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to perform measurements of vibratory motion in three axes using two or more cameras. The cameras are mounted in a fixed spatial relationship to each other and are calibrated such that internal camera distortion and external camera coordinate transformations are determined. Data from each pair of cameras can be processed independently to determine the z-axis motion from changes in the x-axis and y-axis motion measured by the cameras. Measurement noise can impact the small differences in values from camera pairs and multiple techniques have been identified to reduce noise and make reliable measurements of the z-axis vibratory motion. If more than two cameras are utilized, then the data from each pair can be averaged to improve the measured values.

  • Patent number: 12561798
    Abstract: Images can be generated with overlays indicating an amount of brain tissue damage based on the disruption of blood supply. Imaging data can be analyzed to determine perfusion parameters with respect to regions of the brain of an individual. The thresholds for the perfusion parameters with respect to the presence of damaged brain tissue can be based on a period of time elapsed since the onset of a biological condition disrupting blood flow to one or more regions of the brain of the individual. The imaging data can also be analyzed to determine measures of hypodensity with respect to regions of the brain of the individual. A likelihood of the measures of hypodensity corresponding to damaged brain tissue can also be determined based on the period of time elapsed since the onset of the biological condition.
