  • Patent number: 11193294
    Abstract: A double variable sliding isolator including a bottom sliding plate, a top sliding plate, and a friction piece is provided. The bottom sliding plate has a bottom sliding surface that has at least two curvatures. The top sliding plate is disposed over the bottom sliding plate and has a top sliding surface that has at least two curvatures. The friction piece is disposed between the top sliding plate and the bottom sliding plate and the friction piece is in contact with the bottom sliding surface and the top sliding surface. When an external force is applied to the bottom sliding plate and the top sliding plate, the bottom sliding plate and the top sliding plate will generate a relative displacement, so that the friction piece slides along the bottom sliding plate and the top sliding plate.

  • Patent number: 11175770
    Abstract: A touch device has multiple charging traces distributed under the touch operation area. When the object hovers over or contacts the touch operation area, the control unit of the touch device obtains the corresponding position of the object through the sensing signal of the electrode units. The control unit in turn connect the charging traces adjacent to the corresponding position of the object to form at least one charging loop. In the process of the touch operation on the touch device, the object can be charged at the same time, and the convenience of use can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20210341389
    Abstract: An imager for simultaneously taking full color pictures and fluorescence images from the same perspectives, top-down and side views, is presented that uses multiple cameras looking at the same stage through a beamsplitter and light sources for each view. The imager is configured to work with a particular fluorophore, or at least a predetermined fluorescence excitation wavelength and emission wavelength. A broadband white light source projects through a shortpass or other filter with a cut-off wavelength either lower than or between the excitation and emission wavelengths. Another shortpass or other filter is in front of a color camera with a cut-off wavelength below that of the emission wavelength, while a monochrome fluorescence camera may or may not have additional filters to bring out the fluorescence. These filters may be built into a dichroic mirror of the beamsplitter. In addition, digital processing may boost frequencies in the color image that were dampened by the filters.

The source node of the first transistor electrically connects to a primary source pin, the source node of the second transistor to a sample pin, and the gate nodes of the first and the second transistors to a control-gate pin. The third transistor is a vertical JFET with a source node, a control node and a drain node. The source node of the third transistor electrically connects to a charge pin, and the control node of the third transistor to a charge-control pin. All of the drain nodes of the first, second and third transistors are electrically connected to a high-voltage pin.

  • Publication number: 20210259553
    Abstract: Machine-readable media and computer systems are provided for the highlighting of features in composite images through the alternating of images having complementary colors. An image having a feature of interest is used to generate one or more pseudo color images. A series of a pseudo color images and one or more additional pseudo color or original color images are then alternately displayed so that the differently colored regions among the series of images are easily recognizable to an operator. The differently colored regions differ in having hues that are complementary to one another. The methods are particularly useful for the display of information using two or more imaging modalities and channels, such as is the case for some medical applications in which a natural-light image of pink or light-red tissue with deeper red or blue vasculature is overlaid with another functional image.

  • Publication number: 20210219843
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for the detecting and presenting of faint signals from a real-time interactive imager. A real-time view of a subject is controlled by a user by entering commands that move the subject or a camera used to record the real-time view. The rate of this movement is monitored, and when the rate descends below a preset value, a trigger is sent to the camera. In response to the trigger, the camera switches to a lower frame frequency for capturing the real-time view of the subject, thereby increasing the amount of light collected in each frame, and increasing the sensitivity of the camera to faint signals. The methods and systems are particularly relevant for surgical or biopsy imaging, in which both a higher frame rate preview image of a subject for 3D visualization, and a higher sensitivity fluorescence image of the subject for tumor margin assessment, are desired.

  • Publication number: 20210181110
    Abstract: Methods for determining surgical margins using an imaging device are described that use multiple cameras to image a biological sample on a turntable bathed in white light or fluorescing due to a systemically administered dye. Fluorescence farther away from an excitation light source can be compensated upon determining a 3-D position of portions of the sample. The turntable is turned and tilted in order to take enough images to prepare an animation of the sample. In a graphical user interface, the animation can be stopped, zoomed, and tilted per a user's gesture, touch, tablet-tilting, or other commands. The image manipulation can be with touch gestures entered using a sterilizable or disposable touch pen.
