Abstract: An in-vehicle robot includes a base member, an outer member, an inner member, and first, second, and third power transmission units. The base member is rotatably mounted to a mounting object. The outer member is supported by the base member. The inner member is positioned inside the outer member and supported by the outer member. The first power transmission unit allows the inner member to rotate around a first axis with respect to the outer member. The first axis passes through a portion of the inner member supported by the outer member. The second power transmission unit allows the outer member to rotate around a second axis. The second axis passes through a portion of the outer member supported by the base member. The third power transmission unit allows the outer member to rotate around a third axis that is non-parallel to both the first axis and the second axis.

Abstract: Certain aspects pertain to intra-image motion correction methods and systems configured to divide an image domain into subdomains and estimate motion of each subdomain along one or more axes and determine a motion corrected image based on the motions.

Abstract: Compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) techniques that produce spatially encoded images from a first series of images where each spatially encoded image has first and second views of an image of the first series of images superimposed with a pseudo-random binary spatial pattern, that transform the first view and/or the second view such that the first view is rotated 180° relative to second view, that deflect each spatially encoded image by a temporal deflection distance that varies as a function of time-of-arrival, and that integrate the spatially encoded images into a CUP image.

Abstract: Photoacoustic imaging techniques that deliver diffuse light in transmission mode to the brain and detect acoustic waves transmitted through an acoustic window in the skull.

Abstract: Among the various aspects described herein is the provision of systems and methods of cross-ray ultrasound tomography. In some embodiments, a cross-ray ultrasound tomography system utilizes an ultrasonic emitter configured to emit one or more ultrasonic waves and an ultrasonic detector array configured to generate one or more radio frequency signals in response to detecting ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic emitter and the ultrasonic detector array are configured such that the one or more ultrasonic waves are emitted by the ultrasonic emitter at an angle to a focal plane of the ultrasonic detector array.

Abstract: A probe for use with an imaging system, including a scanning device configured to receive a first light beam from a light source, a beam-divider configured to split the first light beam into a plurality of second light beams, and a focusing device configured to focus each of the second light beams on respective locations in an object of interest is disclosed.

Abstract: Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of systems and methods of imaging using photoacoustic computed tomography.

Abstract: A method of using a catheter assembly for inserting in a fluid filled space in a body includes providing a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. The second end portion is adjusted to extend outwardly from the fluid filled space when the first end portion is positioned within the fluid filled space. A catheter tip is connected to the second end portion of the main body. The catheter tip includes a housing having a cavity defined therein and a rotating element positioned within the fluid filled space. The rotating element is rotated within the cavity of the housing to impart movement of the first end portion of the main body within the fluid filled space.
