Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods for calculating the radiation doses received by circulating blood cells. The present method may be applicable for calculating the radiation doses by circulating blood cells through any site in a patient. The present invention also discloses computer systems for calculating radiation doses received by circulating blood cells in a patient.

Abstract: Electric lighting devices are described that utilize three or more light sources to generate a flickering flame effect. The light sources can emit light at different colors to more closely simulate the look of a flame. A projection system having a matrix of LEDs could be used to project an image of a flame on to a projection surface without the need or cost associated with a traditional or pico projector.

Abstract: Image-intensifying devices (for example, glasses, goggles, etc.) suitable for certain commercial and entertainment applications by virtue of their light weight, small size, and economical production are disclosed. In one embodiment, input light passes through an Amici reflector, which is used to adjust the orientation of the intensified image to register it with the real world. In another embodiment, input light passes through at least two Amici reflectors, which are used to adjust the orientation of the intensified image to register it with the real world. In alternate embodiments, at least one Amici reflector folds the light at a non-perpendicular angle and/or input light is rotated by an angle other than (180°). Other embodiments include a field-flattening lens disposed in front of an image intensifier. The intensified image is then sent through a projective lens assembly to reach the viewer's eye.

Abstract: Technologies for managing a drug prescription may include determining submission requirements to submit a prescription of a user to an insurance payer for payment based on an identity of the insurance payer, generating a prescription payment submission form customized for the insurance payer based on the submission requirements, populating the prescription payment submission form with prescription information of the prescription and identification information of the user, and submitting the populated prescription payment submission form to an insurance payer processor server. Additionally, the disclosed technologies include receiving prescription co-pay information related to the prescription in response to submitting the prescription payment submission form and submitting an adjustment to the insurance payer processor server to cancel the submission of the prescription payment submission form.

Abstract: A wearable system is shown that presents one or more heads-up displays to the wearer. A data source provides information to an image generator that is sufficient to generate one or more display images, which are still or moving, characters or graphical displays. The output image from the image generator passes through a lens, reflects off a curved mirror, and passes back through the lens the other way. The image then passes through two lenses, between which an intermediate image exists. The image reflects off the “lens,” or visor, of the glasses and proceeds to the pupil of the wearer's eye. Alternative embodiments use a helmet visor, mirror, or other (at least partially) reflective surface for the final reflection.

Abstract: Image-intensifying or night vision glasses are suitable for certain commercial and entertainment applications by virtue of their light weight, small size, and economical production, compared to certain other night vision products. In one embodiment, input light passes through two Amici prisms and a field-flattening lens to reach an image intensifier. The intensified image it produces is reflected off a first folding mirror, passes through a lens, reflects off a curved mirror, and passes back through the lens the other way. The intensified image then passes through two additional, non-doublet lenses, between which an intermediate image exists. The intensified image then reflects off the “lens” or visor of the glasses and proceeds to the pupil of the eye of the wearer. Alternative embodiments use a helmet visor, mirror, or other (at least partially) reflective surface for the final reflection.

Abstract: A Double-Loop Mutual Assessment (DLMA) method may assess complex, non-objective, content. For example, a DLMA method can use formative and summative peer assessment to generate textual feedback and/or numeric success metrics. One or more DLMA methods can be used in any number of situations. For example, one or more DLMA methods may be used in online courses, in-person courses, blended courses, written submissions, consumer assessment of products and/or services, performance evaluation, assessing individual contributions to group projects, and/or other tasks.

Abstract: A device that uses specific dominant wavelength light emitting diode to excite the electrons in photovoltaic cells to produce DC voltage for the purposes of: (a) providing DC voltage to its own light emitting diode system and (b) providing external voltage for an application that requires voltage to operate.

Abstract: Image-intensifying glasses 100 are disclosed that are suitable for certain commercial and entertainment applications by virtue of their light weight, small size, and economical production, compared to certain other night vision products. In one disclosed embodiment, input light passes through two Amici prisms 144 and 148 and a field-flattening lens 150 to reach an image intensifier 152. The intensified image it produces is reflected off a first folding mirror 162, passes through a lens 154, reflects off a curved mirror 156, and passes back through the lens 154 the other way. The intensified image then passes through two additional, non-doublet lenses 158 and 160, between which an intermediate image exists. The intensified image then reflects off the “lens,” or visor 130, of the glasses and proceeds to the pupil of eye 131 of the wearer. Alternative embodiments use a helmet visor, mirror, or other (at least partially) reflective surface for the final reflection.

Abstract: An apparatus for enhanced viewing of objects in two separate simultaneous frequency bands of light that is constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes a primary mirror and a moveable secondary mirror that is disposed above the primary mirror to provide a long focal length. A beam splitter splits the optical path into two paths, one for infrared and another path for visible. Various optical elements and devices are described along each path. The secondary mirror is displaced away from its concentric position over the primary mirror to provide shorter focal lengths in IR and visible. Focal Plane Arrays (FPA's) are disposed where desired along both optical paths for real-time viewing and data acquisition. The preferred FPA in visible is a CCD. The preferred FPA in IR is disposed in a Dewar.
