  • Patent number: 11768262
    Abstract: A cross-modal interface includes a multi-modal sensor configured to concurrently receive multiple input signals with each input signal being provided from a different imaging modality and in response thereto providing a single cross-modal output signal to processing circuitry which processes the single cross-modal output signal provided thereto and generates an output comprising information obtained or otherwise derived from each of or a combination of the different imaging modalities.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11490814
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to detectors and their method of use for sensing electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic signals, biochemical analytes, and/or other conditions in subjects. The device may include an inductively-coupled implantable coil-based transducer that converts electrical, photonic, biochemical signals, and/or other appropriate signals and/or conditions originating in tissues and/or transplanted tissue grafts into changes in a property of the transducer, such as a resonance frequency, that may be detected using an alternating magnetic field that may be provided by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal and/or other appropriate source. In some embodiments, the detector comprises a FET that changes state upon detection of a subject condition of interest. The change in the FET may change the resonance frequency of an associated LC or RLC circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210379208
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates in certain embodiments to a magnetic imaging kit for biochemical sensing, e.g., for detection of analytes, via magnetic imaging techniques. For instance, in one set of embodiments, the kit comprises a collection of magnetic imaging agents (e.g. superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) and linker species (e.g. a catechol, phosphothreonine, and/or derivative thereof) with a molecular weight of less than or equal to 1000 Da, or less than or equal to 500 Da. The magnetic imaging agents may sense the presence of an analyte via aggregation or disaggregation of the two or more magnetic imaging agents. In addition, certain aspects are directed to a method of exposing two or more magnetic imaging agents to a region on or in a subject and imaging the region to determine the analyte.
