  • Apparatus and methods using a fly's eye lens system for the production of high dynamic range images
    Patent number: 9124828
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for simultaneously producing multiple images of a subject are provided. The multiple images include images having different light intensity ranges that can be combined into a single image with a high dynamic range (HDR). The apparatus include a fly's eye lens system and at least one optical sensor.

  • Plasmon assisted control of optofluidics
    Patent number: 7798164
    Abstract: A method of microfluidic control via localized heating includes providing a microchannel structure with a base region that is partially filled with a volume of liquid being separated from a gas by a liquid-gas interface region. The base region includes one or more physical structures. The method further includes supplying energy input to a portion of the one or more physical structures within the volume of liquid in a vicinity of the liquid-gas interface region to cause localized heating of the portion of the one or more physical structures. The method also includes transferring heat from the portion of the one or more physical structures to surrounding liquid in the vicinity of the liquid-gas interface region and generating an interphase mass transport at the liquid-gas interface region or across a gas bubble while the volume of liquid and the gas remain to be substantially at ambient temperature.
