  • Patent number: 12265935
    Abstract: A method of discovering relationships between iris physiology and cognitive states and/or emotional states of a subject includes providing a computing device and a video camera to record a close-up view of the subject's eye. A first light is held to the lower eyelid skin and a second light a distance away illuminating the stroma of the eye. The first and second light are electronically synced together and configured to flash alternatively. The user engages in a plurality of tasks while recording ocular information which is processed to identify correlations between the responses in the iris musculature and the distortions in the stroma through the use optimized algorithms. One can then identifying at least one predictive distortion is identified in the stroma capturable solely with a visible-spectrum camera correlating to a predicted responses in the iris musculature.

  • Publication number: 20250091181
    Abstract: A power tool includes a housing with a motor housing portion, a handle portion extending from the motor housing portion, and a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery pack. An electric motor is supported in the motor housing portion. A trigger extends from the handle portion. An actuator is located on a top surface of the housing opposite the battery receptacle and includes a magnet. A sensor is positioned adjacent the actuator to detect a position of the magnet and output an actuator signal representative of a position of the actuator based on the detected position of the magnet. A controller is configured to control the electric motor based on the actuator signal received from the sensor such that the electric motor rotates in a first direction when the actuator is in the first position and rotates in an opposite direction when the actuator is in the second position.
