Publication number: 20240151644Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument is provided, in which light from one or more broad spectrum LEDs is sequentially passed through corresponding apertures directly into a Dove prism. Upon entering the Dove prism the light is refracted onto a surface of the prism against which an SPR sensor is attached, then internally reflects off the surface to a third surface of the Dove prism. Upon exiting the Dove prism the light is again refracted so as to be collinear with the emitted light. The light is collected by an optical fiber, passed through a filter, and conveyed to a detector. The wavelength-angle combination at which SPR occurs is found by using broad spectrum LEDs and a fixed angle. The use of apertures and the omission of collimating lenses allows a more compact SPR instrument than traditional SPR instruments.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Ludovic LIVE, James WEI

Publication number: 20240144425Abstract: Techniques for using machine learning (ML) for image processing are disclosed. First encoded image data, generated by encoding a first one or more digital images using an encoder, is received. A first reconstructed one or more digital images are generated by decoding the encoded image data using a decoder corresponding to the encoder. A second reconstructed one or more digital images are generated by transforming the first reconstructed one or more digital images using a super-resolution ML model. The second reconstructed one or more digital images has a higher image resolution compared with the first reconstructed one or more digital images, and the super-resolution ML model is trained based on an image resolution corresponding to at least one of the second reconstructed one or more digital images.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jinjun XIONG, Nicholas CHEN, James WEI, Vikram Sharma MAILTHODY

Patent number: 11632507Abstract: When imaging bright objects, a conventional detector array can saturate, making it difficult to produce an image with a dynamic range that equals the scene's dynamic range. Conversely, a digital focal plane array (DFPA) with one or more m-bit counters can produce an image whose dynamic range is greater than the native dynamic range. In one example, the DFPA acquires a first image over a relatively brief integration period at a relatively low gain setting. The DFPA then acquires a second image over longer integration period and/or a higher gain setting. During this second integration period, counters may roll over, possibly several times, to capture a residue modulus 2m of the number of counts (as opposed to the actual number of counts). A processor in or coupled to the DFPA generates a high-dynamic range image based on the first image and the residues modulus 2m.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Michael W. Kelly, Megan H. Blackwell, Curtis Colonero, James Wey, Christopher David, Justin Baker, Joseph Costa

Publication number: 20220138688Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed ledger-based management of metadata and chain of custody of documents among financial intuitions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method may include: (1) receiving from internal storage for the first entity, a document or file to share with a second entity; (2) at least one first entity uploading the document or file to a first entity document sharing application; (3) saving the document or file to temporary storage a distributed ledger node for the first entity, the distributed ledger node part of a distributed ledger network; (4) writing the document or file to a first entity distributed ledger; and (5) writing metadata for the document or file to the first entity distributed ledger. A second entity document sharing program may retrieve the document or file from the first entity document sharing program into a distributed ledger node for the second entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Laura SCHORNACK, Olisa OKPOKO, Boyang GONG, Nathan MCGOVERN, James WEI, Jae Wook LEE, Jesse WU

Patent number: 10893226Abstract: A digital focal plane array includes an all-digital readout integrated circuit in combination with a detector array. The readout circuit includes unit cell electronics, orthogonal transfer structures, and data handling structures. The unit cell electronics include an analog to digital converter. Orthogonal transfer structures enable the orthogonal transfer of data among the unit cells. Data handling structures may be configured to operate the digital focal plane array as a data encryptor/decipherer. Data encrypted and deciphered by the digital focal plane array need not be image data.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Michael W. Kelly, Brian Tyrrell, Curtis Colonero, Robert Berger, Kenneth Schultz, James Wey, Daniel Mooney, Lawrence M Candell
