Publication number: 20240122530Abstract: The present disclosure is associated with monitoring health of a patient. An example photoacoustic monitoring device includes a light-guiding component to guide light energy toward tissue to cause the light energy to be absorbed by the tissue; an ultrasound transmission component to transmit acoustic energy toward the tissue to cause a biological response from the tissue; and a sensing component to perform one or more of ultrasound or photoacoustic imaging to sense the biological response from the tissue and permit a status of the tissue to be determined. In some implementations, the biological response is sensed based on the light energy absorbed by the tissue during the biological response caused by the acoustic energy transmitted toward the tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Jeeun KANG, Raymond C. KOEHLER, Ernest M. GRAHAM, Emad M. BOCTOR, Jennifer LEE-SUMMERS

Patent number: 11904426Abstract: A non-contact tool measurement apparatus is used in a machine tool environment. The apparatus includes a transmitter including a first aperture and a laser for generating light that is emitted from the transmitter through the first aperture towards a tool-sensing region. A receiver includes an optical detector and is arranged to receive light from the tool-sensing region. A processor analyses the light detected by the optical detector to enable the measurement of tools in the tool-sensing region. The laser is capable of generating light having a wavelength of less than 590 nm thereby enabling the size of the first aperture to be reduced resulting in a reduction in contaminant ingress. In one embodiment, the laser generates blue light.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: RENISHAW PLCInventors: Julian Alexander Cluff, Graham Richard Ferguson, Harry Alan Leafe, William Ernest Lee

Publication number: 20220316859Abstract: A method for assessing the profile of a tool using a non-contact tool setting apparatus that includes a transmitter for emitting a light beam and a receiver for receiving the beam. The receiver generates a beam intensity signal describing the intensity of received light. The setting apparatus is mounted to a coordinate positioning apparatus that allows the tool to be moved relative to the setting apparatus. The method includes using the coordinate positioning apparatus to move the tool relative to the setting apparatus along a tool inspection path, the tool inspection path being selected so that the light beam is traced substantially along a periphery of the tool to be inspected. Beam intensity data is collected describing the beam intensity signal that is generated by the receiver as the tool inspection path is traversed and analysis of the collected beam intensity data is used to assess the tool profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: RENISHAW PLCInventors: William Ernest LEE, Paul MAXTED

Patent number: 11287212Abstract: A recoil pad with survival module kit provides rifle recoil absorption and also provides peace of mind to a hunter as a means of carrying essential survival components in a compact form in a way which currently is not provided in the art. In a hunting situation in the wilds, the loss of backpacks or other means of carrying a first aid kit can arise. The most important thing a hunter will try to avoid losing is his or her rifle. Thus, the recoil pad with survival module kit will always be available to the hunter if a crucial scenario should occur as long as the hunter retains the rifle. The survival module kit is compressible within the recoil pad and provides the same recoil absorption as currently available recoil pads along with the added convenience of all of the items contained in the survival module kit.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Inventor: Ernest Lee Conway
