  • Patent number: 12436498
    Abstract: A microscopy system and method use super-resolution to generate the equivalent of a digital holographic image. Through super-resolution, images of nanoscale sized objects may be captured without interrupting the object (for example, a virus) or the object's environment. The information gathered through super-resolution techniques may be transformed into holographic replications of the object which may be analyzed with greater accuracy of the object.

  • Patent number: 7099742
    Abstract: An apparatus that controls the action of a pet robot. The apparatus includes a portable terminal (3) having an electrode that may contact a user (2). When the user touches the electrode provided on the head of the robot (1), the user ID stored in the memory section of the portable terminal (3) is transmitted to the robot (1) through the user (2). The robot (1) retrieves the information associated with the user ID it has received, thereby identifying the user (2). The robot (1) may determine that the user (2) touched it in the past. In this case, the robot (1) performs an action in accordance with the information about what the user (2) did to it in the past.
