  • Publication number: 20140088380
    Abstract: Multispectral filter arrays and methods of making and using the arrays are described herein. Multispectral imaging systems and methods of making and using the systems are also described. A multispectral filter array includes a mosaic of light sensitive elements that includes a first element sensitive to a first narrow spectral region, a second element sensitive to a second narrow spectral region, and a third element sensitive to a third narrow spectral region. A multispectral imaging system includes an illumination system having at least three lighting elements, each of which are configured to transmit light at a different wavelength, and the multispectral filter array.

  • Patent number: 8095706
    Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the analysis of the mechanical properties of materials. More particularly, the various embodiments of the present invention relates to systems and methods of deriving the static and dynamic mechanical properties of deformative materials, for example, but not limited to, biological surfaces. The systems and methods of the present invention can be used to derive and evaluate the mechanical properties of many biological surfaces and subsurfaces, including but not limited to the skin.
