  • Publication number: 20260047750
    Abstract: Described are colonoscopy systems and methods of using such systems. The colonoscopy systems may include an optical scanning system having at least one illuminator configured to produce spatially patterned light and solid light in at least one frame to illuminate tissue within the colon, and at least one camera configured to capture the at least one image of the illuminated tissue within the colon. Additionally, the optical scanning system may include at least one control system configured to construct at least one three dimensional point cloud representations of the tissue within the colon and detect at least one feature of interest using the at least one three dimensional point cloud and a pre-trained artificial intelligence engine.

  • Patent number: 12465326
    Abstract: A wearable non-invasive lung fluid monitoring system has at least one processor in communication with a wearable sensor configured to be positioned on a chest of a patient. The wearable sensor includes at least one transducer configured to generate ultrasonic signal(s) probing internal space within the chest of the patient. The at least one processor is configured to determine at least one measurement estimate of fluid within the chest of the patient using acoustic impedance of the ultrasonic signal(s) and reflected wave(s) of the ultrasonic signal(s).

  • Publication number: 20070247595
    Abstract: A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image including a plurality of particles suspended within a volumetric display. A first projection system projects sequential slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the length and width of the volumetric display energizing particles to form a two-dimensional image. A second projection system projects translational slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths that intersect with the energized particles across the depth of the volumetric display. A control system synchronizes the projection of the image source and the activation source such that the two-dimensional image and the translational slices energize the particles for a pre-determined length of time so that the particles illuminate to form an illuminated three-dimensional image.

  • Publication number: 20070247598
    Abstract: A volumetric liquid crystal display for producing a three-dimensional image is disclosed. The volumetric liquid crystal display includes a volumetric image space having at least two layers of LCD sheeting wherein each layer of LCD sheeting is selectively energized to form image slices. At least one projection system projects at least one array of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths to intersect the energized layer of LCD sheeting illuminating image slices. Successive illumination of image slices on the layers of LCD sheeting provides the appearance of a three-dimensional image. Embodiments and methods of controlling and fabricating a three-dimensional image are disclosed.
