Abstract: Droplet detection of RNA enables quantification of the absolute amount of target RNA as well as identification of different variant or mutant RNA species. As described herein. RNA detection with high sensitivity and multiplexed specificity can be achieved with short detection times by encapsulating the Cas reaction in droplets and monitoring enzyme kinetics fluorescently.

Abstract: A portable retinal imaging device for imaging the fundus of the eye. The device includes an ocular imaging device containing ocular lensing and filters, a fixation display, and a light source, and is configured for coupling to a mobile device containing a camera, display, and application programming for controlling retinal imaging. The light source is configured for generating a sustained low intensity light (e.g., IR wavelength) during preview, followed by a light flash during image capture. The ocular imaging device works in concert with application programming on the mobile device to control subject gaze through using a fixation target when capturing retinal imaging on the mobile device, which are then stitched together using imaging processing into an image having a larger field of view.

Abstract: An imaging system consisting of a cell-phone with camera as the detection part of an optical train which includes other components. Optionally, an illumination system to create controlled contrast in the sample. Uses include but are not limited to disease diagnosis, symptom analysis, and post-procedure monitoring, and other applications to humans, animals, and plants.

Abstract: A golf mat that has a natural feel and mitigates injury during mat striking includes: a base, the base including a main structure with an upper surface and an open topped cavity in the upper surface; and an insert sized to be accommodated in the cavity, the insert including a layer of solid polymeric material selected to have shock absorption properties greater than the main structure; and artificial turf installed on the base and overlying at least a portion of the main structure and the insert.

Abstract: An improved system and methods for enhancing the imaging of cameras included with wireless mobile devices, such as cellular phone or tablets. The imaging system includes a releasable optical attachment for imaging skin surfaces and cavities of the body. The releasable optical attachment comprises optical enhancement elements such as magnifying lenses, illumination diverting elements, and filters. Images can be viewed and analyzed on the mobile device, or transmitted to another location/device for analysis by a person or software. The results can be used to provide diagnosis, or for a variety of other applications including image comparison over time and product recommendations.

Abstract: A handheld, ocular imaging device and system that employs the camera, processor and programming of a mobile phone, tablet or other smart device coupled to optical elements and illumination elements that can be used to image the structures of the eye in non-clinical locations, for example is presented. The modular device provides multi-functionality (fluorescein imaging, fluorescence, brightfield, infrared (IR) imaging, near-infrared (NIR) imaging) and multi-region imaging (retinal, corneal, external, etc.) of the eye along with the added features of image processing, storage and wireless data transmission for remote storage and evaluation. Acquired ocular images can also be transmitted directly from the device to the electronic medical records of a patient without the need for an intermediate computer system.

Abstract: A handheld, ocular imaging device and system that employs the camera, processor and programming of a mobile phone, tablet or other smart device coupled to optical elements and illumination elements that can be used to image the structures of the eye in home-based, ambulatory-care, hospital-based, or emergency-care settings, is presented.
