Abstract: A system and methods for contrast sensitivity compensation provides for correcting the vision of users whose vision is deficient for discerning high spatial frequencies. The system and methods use measurements of the user's contrast detection as a function of spatial frequency in the image to correct images in real time. The system includes a head-mountable device that includes a camera and a processor that can provide enhanced images at video framing rates.

Abstract: A head-mounted video camera, a processor, and a display are integrated within the head-mounted device worn by the user. The head-mounted device is configured to capture images of the environment and subject those images to specialized processing in order to diagnose and/or make up for deficiencies in the user's eyesight. Different modes of operating the device are provided that enable the user to configure the device for a specific application. The modes of operation include at least an assistive mode, a diagnostic mode, and a therapeutic mode. Each mode of operation may include further options, where each option is dedicated to a specific processing approach specific to a condition that may afflict the user, ranging from contrast sensitivity issues to strabismus.

Abstract: In one aspect, a mobile robot includes a chassis, a shell moveably mounted on the chassis by a shell suspension system, and a sensor assembly configured to sense a distance and a direction of shell movement relative to the chassis. The sensor assembly includes a magnet disposed on an underside of the shell. The sensor assembly further includes three or more Hall effect sensors disposed on the chassis in a triangular pattern at fixed distances such that the three or more Hall effect sensors are positioned beneath the magnet when no force is applied to the shell, wherein relative motion between the magnet and the Hall effect sensors causes the sensors to produce differing output signals. The mobile robot also includes a controller configured to receive output signals from the Hall effect sensors and to determine a distance and a direction of movement of the shell relative to the chassis.

Abstract: Apparatus, device, system, kit, and method to treat and prevent skin conditions. The device incorporates two treatment technologies: photorejuvenation and microcurrents. The photorejuvenation technology incorporates the use of light emitting diodes to treat skin blemishes. The light emitting diodes typically emit light having a wavelength of about 630 nanometers. The device also incorporates the use of low level microcurrent pulses to tighten muscles and skin. The electrodes are placed in a concentric circle pattern. The pattern allows for current to flow evenly from a cathode to anode. Each electrode includes nearly equivalent or equivalent surface areas for uniform current distribution. To prevent current from flowing, a nonconducting material is placed between the concentric circles. Current transfers from one electrode to another only when the user contacts the electrodes with their skin.
