Publication number: 20240057927Abstract: A system for evaluating neurologic dysfunction of a subject includes an odorant generator configured to deliver an odorant stimulation to the subject, an auditory generator configured to deliver an audible stimulation to the subject, a vibrotactile stimulator configured to generate a somatosensory stimulation to the subject, a plurality of electrodes configured to be attached to the subject at respective different locations, and at least one processor. The plurality of electrodes are configured to collect neural signals from the subject as a result of the odorant stimulation, the audible stimulation, and the somatosensory stimulation. The at least one processor is configured to process the neural signals from the plurality of electrodes and generate an assessment of neurologic dysfunction of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: David William SMITH, Richard MICHELLI, William David WOOLF

Patent number: 8798788Abstract: An automated method for dispensing pharmaceuticals particularly tablets and capsules, and other small discrete objects, includes: receiving prescription information, selecting a container, labeling the container, dispensing the tablets or capsules into the labeled container, applying a closure to the filled, labeled container, and offloading the container to a designated location. Preferably, the tablets are dispensed with high speed dispensing bins that employ forced air to agitate and singulate the tablets. The other functions within the system are typically carried out at stations designed to offer speed, flexibility and precision to the dispensing operation.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Parata Systems, LLCInventors: Jeffrey P. Williams, Richard Michelli, Jasper Pollard, Simon Kelly, David Newcomb, Jess Eberdt, Pete Klein

Publication number: 20140052386Abstract: A fiber optic input receives light reflected from an unknown compound. An input mask encodes the light received with a one-dimensional input code. A spectral imaging subsystem images the input coded mask and disperses the image. An output mask receives the dispersed image on a row and, at each time step of a plurality of time steps, changes the code of the row to further encode the image. An illumination subsystem collects the additionally encoded light from the row at each time step. A point detector receives the collected light from the illumination subsystem and converts it to an electrical signal at each time step. A memory stores the electrical signal at each time step. A processor calculates a spectral signature for the unknown compound from the electrical signals stored, the one-dimensional input code, and the different additional one-dimensional codes applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Optopo Inc. d/b/a Centice CorporationInventors: Brett Guenther, Scott T.
