  • Patent number: 10080528
    Abstract: This document describes optical central venous pressure measurement. To determine the central venous pressure (CVP) of a person optically, video of a right side of the person's neck is captured. By way of example, a medical professional records a video of the right side of the person's neck using a smartphone. The right side of the person's neck is captured because it is where the person's external and internal jugular veins are located and pulsatile motions that are usable to measure CVP occur in those veins. The video is then processed according to video motion amplification techniques to generate a reconstructed video of the right side of the person's neck. In the reconstructed video, the pulsatile motion of the person's venous system that occurs at the right side of their neck is visually amplified. Using the reconstructed video, measurements are made of a distance between a peak of the visually-amplified pulsatile motion and an anatomical feature of the person.

  • Publication number: 20150264911
    Abstract: The insect trap includes a funnel body having wide open end and an opposite narrow open end. A cover is attached to the funnel body and is disposed at a vertical spaced distance from the wide open end and forms a gap between the cover and the wide open end. One or more light sources are positioned on a bottom side of the cover. A striker element is attached to the funnel body and operable to strike upon the funnel body. And, a vacuum hose has a first end connected to the narrow open end of the funnel body and a second end connectable to another vacuum hose of a conventional vacuum cleaner.
