  • Patent number: 11649727
    Abstract: An electronically commutated hydraulic machine is coupled to a drivetrain. Working chambers of the hydraulic machine are connected to low and high pressure manifold through electronically controlled valves. The phase of opening and closing of the valves has a default. In order to avoid cycle failure due to acceleration events, for example due to backlash in the drivetrain, the phase of opening or closing of the electronically controlled valves is temporarily advanced or retarded from the default timing.

  • Patent number: 7692160
    Abstract: A method and system for fluorescence imaging of a target in a subject comprising a scattering medium is provided. The method comprises illuminating one or more points on a surface of the scattering medium using an illumination source, wherein the plurality of points define an illumination region, collecting emitted light from an illumination region and an area away from the illumination region, and generating an image of the scattering medium using the emitted light.

  • Publication number: 20080238338
    Abstract: A modular, scalable and configurable incoherent light source is provided. The light source includes an array of lighting modules supported on a frame that focuses emitted radiation from the modules at a region of interest. The geometry and physical configuration of the support structures, including the frame, may accommodate various energy intensities at various distances. The modules may be made up of multiple LEDs or other individual light sources, may be of different or the same wavelength, and may be individually controllable for the ultimate lighting application. The light source may be used in medical imaging applications.
