  • Publication number: 20240191309
    Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems, and compositions for non-invasively diagnosing or detecting a skin disease or disorder. Diagnosing or detecting a non-melanoma skin cancer (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma) as provided herein comprises detecting and/or comparing gene expression levels of identified genes. Methods, systems, and compositions are also described for differentiation of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) from other diseases, such as actinic keratosis (AK).

  • Publication number: 20130100415
    Abstract: An image projection apparatus includes a projector, a frame, and a partially transparent screen. The frame retains the screen under tension, such that the screen is inclined at an angle with respect to a plane of emission of light from the projector. The screen has a front surface arranged such that light emitted from the projector is reflected therefrom. The projector projects an image such that light forming the image impinges upon the screen such that a virtual image is created from light reflected from the screen, the virtual image appearing to be located behind the screen.
