  • Resonant multilayered impedance pump
    Patent number: 8092365
    Abstract: A multilayered impedance pump is formed by an inner tube and an outer tube which have different mechanical characteristics. The outer tube is relatively stiff, and can be used for a structural material. The inner tube is excitable, and a gel is placed between the inner and outer tube. The actuator actuates the gel to cause pressure waves along the inner tube.

  • Pattern inversion for improved resolution in 3D imaging
    Publication number: 20100007660
    Abstract: A system and method for improving resolution of a 3-D image by pattern inversion is disclosed. An image of a marker pattern transmitted from the surface of a 3-D object is captured with a sensor and analyzed using a 3-D image analysis method. The respective light and dark areas in the image are then inverted. The inverted image is then analyzed using a 3-D image analysis method, whereby the inversion allows for analysis of a greater portion of the image, resulting in a higher resolution 3-D image than without inversion.
