Patent number: 10918770Abstract: A method of irradiating a wound that includes positioning a wound insertion foam within a wound cavity of a wound and covering the wound insertion foam using a wound sealing layer. The method further includes pumping fluid from the wound cavity using a drain tube sealed within the wound cavity and coupled to a vacuum source, and irradiating the wound using a light diffusing optical fiber that is optically coupled to a therapeutic light source and includes light scattering structures distributed along the light diffusing optical fiber. A portion of the light diffusing optical fiber is positioned within a wound tissue region of the wound, the wound cavity, or both, such that light emitted by the therapeutic light source enters the light diffusing optical fiber, scatters outward from the light diffusing optical fiber, and irradiates the wound tissue region, a wound cavity surface of the wound, or both.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Edward John Fewkes, Stephan Lvovich Logunov, Cynthia Jean Wilson

Publication number: 20130018238Abstract: The invention provides an enhanced method and system for non-invasive analysis of a target. The enhancement includes increased analytic power derived from creating a complete representation of a target using less than complete information. The invention provides a non-invasive analysis system and method that includes generating and exploiting a system model that includes a target model that accurately represents the interaction of radiant energy with a target. In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, a digital signal processor compares signals acquired from an actual non-invasive system with theoretical signals generated using the system model, identifies the target model that matches most closely, and outputs target characteristics, including target attribute of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2011Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Andrew Patti, Carol Jean Wilson, Josh N.

Patent number: 8200306Abstract: A non-invasive imaging and analysis system suitable for measuring attributes of a target, such as the blood glucose concentration of tissue, includes an optical processing system which provides a probe and reference beam. It also includes a means that applies the probe beam to the target to be analyzed, combines the probe and reference beams interferometrically and detects concurrent interferometric signals. The invention includes fitting multiple sets of concurrently acquired data to a profile template and calculating a variance between the profile template and the acquired data sets. It further includes refining the profile template to minimize the variance between at least some of the concurrently acquired data sets to generate a refined profile, correlating the refined profile with data from a data bank stored in memory and processing resulting correlation data to determine an attribute of the target.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Inventors: Josh N.
