  • Publication number: 20110293696
    Abstract: A composition for the treatment of bruising is disclosed. The composition can include an antioxidant, one or more citrus flavanoids, as active agents along with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or filler. The compositions are nutriceutical formulations having the capacity to reduce the number of bruises that occur over time and that reduce the healing time of bruises. The compositions are preferably in tablet form for oral consumption one or more times per day. A method of reducing bruising is also disclosed in which a patient in need of a treatment for bruising or at risk of developing bruises is identified. The composition can then be administered orally to the patient.

  • Patent number: 7692131
    Abstract: An imaging system, methodology, and various applications are provided to facilitate optical imaging performance. The system contains a sensor having one or more receptors and an image transfer medium to scale the sensor and receptors in accordance with resolvable characteristics of the medium, and as defined with certain ratios. A computer, memory, and/or display associated with the sensor provides storage and/or display of information relating to output from the receptors to produce and/or process an image, wherein a plurality of illumination sources can also be utilized in conjunction with the image transfer medium. The image transfer medium can be configured as a k-space filter that correlates projected receptor size to a diffraction-limited spot associated with the image transfer medium, wherein the projected receptor size can be unit-mapped within a certain ratio to the size of the diffraction-limited spot, both in the object plane.
