Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology present a structural foundation for respiratory analysis of turbulent exhale flows through a technique called Thin Medium Thermal Imaging (TMTI). TMTI is a respiration monitoring method that uses a thin medium and thermal imaging to sense breathing activity. This technique is presented as an alternative to existing non-contact methods of respiratory analysis. As with all non-contact methods, remote monitoring of patients' respiratory behaviors preserves patient comfort. However, unlike other respiratory monitoring methods, the TMTI method monitors respiration directly, and can therefore provide more respiratory information than other non-contact methods. Various embodiments may make use of different medium materials, different measurement setups, additional thermal imaging cameras and sensors, and setups with entertainment media such as Virtual Reality (VR).

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to microparticles and, in particular, to systems and methods for encapsulation within microparticles. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to microparticles containing entities therein, where the entities contain an agent that can be released from the microparticles, e.g., via diffusion. In some cases, the agent may be released from the microparticles without disruption of the microparticles. The entities may be, for instance, polymeric particles, hydrogel particles, droplets of fluid, etc. The entities may be contained within a fluid that is, in turn, encapsulated within the microparticle. The agent may be released from the entity into the fluid, and then from the fluid through the microparticle. In such fashion, the release of agent from the microparticle may be controlled, e.g., over relatively long time scales.
