Patent number: 11931302Abstract: Optionally, a plurality of spacers 228 is arranged between the planar surface 120 of the interfacing arrangement 114 (or the top horizontal arm) and the seat arrangement 102, for permanently raising the seat arrangement 102 with respect to the interfacing arrangement 114. The spacers 228 can be implemented as rectangular or cylindrical solid blocks that can be fabricated from plastics materials, metals, metal alloys, polymers, ceramics, wood, composites and so forth. The spacers 228 can be fixed between the seat arrangement 102 and the top planar surface 120 of the top horizontal arm of the interfacing arrangement 114 such that height of the seat arrangement 102 relative to the footrest arrangement 116 is raised. For example, a plurality of metallic spacers is fixed between the seat arrangement 102 and the interface arrangement by a technician such as by welding the metallic spacers between the seat arrangement 102 and the interface arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: Paul Campbell, John Reed, David Rajan

Publication number: 20220228969Abstract: An optical device includes a low-noise illumination source, a support device, an ultra low-noise detector, an analog-to-digital converter, and a controller. The low-noise illumination source is configured to generate a single beam of radiation. The support device is configured to support an object and to pass the single beam of radiation through the object. The object directly blocks, absorbs, or deflects portions of the single beam of radiation, thereby directly modulating the single beam of radiation. The low-noise detector is configured to detect the modulated single beam of radiation and to output an analog signal representative of vibrational spectra of the object. The modulated single beam of radiation is non-interferometric. The analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the detected analog signal into a digital signal. The controller is configured to analyze and generate vibrational spectra of the object from the digital signal represented as a range of events over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Applicant: Digital Harmonic LLCInventors: Paul Reed SMITH, William G.

Patent number: 11293853Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for measuring vibrational spectra of a living cells and tissue that includes a low noise consistent optical source creating a photon beam, a support device, a photon-to-electron converter/detector outputting a streamed analog electrical signal, an analog-to-digital converter, and a digital signal processor with specialized software for measuring and characterizing the signal contained in the photon beam and its subsequent detector's streamed analog converted to digital signal. Motion of the living sample causes modulation to the photon beam as it passes through the living samples by how much of the photon beam is blocked, absorbed or deflected. In addition, specific sub-cellular vibrational features can be segregated utilizing fluorescent markers.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Digital Harmonic LLCInventors: Paul Reed Smith, William G.
