Abstract: This invention is an intrasaccular aneurysm occlusion device with an expandable mesh which is inserted and expanded within an aneurysm sac. The expandable mesh can be steered in a selected direction and/or expanded in a radially-asymmetric manner by moving a joint, sliding catheter sections, pulling or pushing wires, detaching constraints, or filling chambers in the mesh with embolic material. There can be a plurality of non-central openings with remotely-controllable valves in the expandable mesh through which embolic material is inserted into the aneurysm sac.

Abstract: A smart bra with optical sensors for detecting, imaging, and/or evaluating abnormal breast tissue includes a cup with a proximal outer ring, expandable chambers inside the proximal outer ring, and light emitters and light receivers between the expandable chambers and a person's breast. Changes in light emitted from the light emitters and received by the light receivers which are caused by transmission of the light through breast tissue can be analyzed to detect, image, and evaluate abnormal breast tissue.

The electrode collects data concerning the person's brain activity.

Abstract: A wearable ring or band can have spectroscopic sensors on its inner circumference. The ring or band can change: the angles at which light beams from sensors are transmitted; the radial locations of sensors around the inner circumference; and/or the distances between sensors and a person's body. The ring or band can also have an expandable and/or compressible chamber or layer on its inner circumference. The ring or band can also have a flexible, elastic, and/or articulated segment as part of its circumference.

Abstract: A wearable device or system for monitoring food consumption can include a wrist-worn or finger-worn device which is worn by a person, a motion sensor on the wrist-worn or finger-worn device, eyewear which is worn by the person, and a camera on the eyewear which is activated to record food images when analysis of data from the motion sensor detects that the person is eating. This device can be used alone or as part of a closed-loop glucose level management system.

Abstract: A biometric wearable device is embodied in a finger ring or smart watch with radiowave or microwave energy emitters/transmitters and energy receivers to measure the level of a biometric parameter such as body oxygenation, hydration, or glucose level. The energy emitter/transmitter and the energy receiver can be parallel, nested, and/or comprise a two-dimensional array. The device can further comprise a split ring resonator located between the energy emitter/transmitter and the energy receiver.

Abstract: A wearable device or system for monitoring food consumption can include a head-worn device such as eyewear which is worn by a person and a plurality of brain activity sensors on the head-worn device, wherein data from the plurality of brain activity sensors is analyzed to detect when the person is eating. This device can be used alone or as part of a closed-loop glucose level management system.

Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with a first mode which provides a clear, bright, wide-angle environment-only view when needed and a second mode which displays an augmented reality view when needed. This eyewear can have a virtual-object-display component which pivots between being on an eyewear sidepiece (e.g. temple) and being in front of a person's eye. It also includes a light emitter, wherein the virtual-object-display component reflects and/or refracts light from the light emitter toward the person's eye when the virtual-object-display component is in its second configuration.

Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear which can transition between a real world viewing mode, a virtual reality viewing mode, and an augmented reality viewing mode. This eyewear shows bright opaque virtual objects in a portion of a person's field of view while providing the person with a clear view of the real world in the rest of their field of view. This eyewear includes an eyewear frame, an optical display, a lens, a plurality of selectively-movable (pivoting or rotating) micromirrors, and an array of electroconductive pathways.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an article of smart clothing which automatically recognizes body configuration and motion. This smart clothing includes inertial motion units which are distal relative to selected joints and also sets of strain sensors which span those joints. The type of energy transmitted through a strain sensor can be electrical energy or light energy. Combined multivariate analysis of data from both inertial motion units and strain sensors provides more accurate recognition of body configuration and motion than data from either alone.

Abstract: A biometric wearable device (e.g. finger ring or smart watch) has optical sensors to measure body oxygenation level, hydration level, glucose level, heart rate, heart rate variability, and/or blood pressure. Light from light emitters is transmitted through body tissue and changes in the light are analyzed. The angles and/or vectors along which the light is transmitted through body tissue can be automatically changed by the device in order to scan different tissue regions and/or different tissue depths.

Abstract: This invention is an intrasaccular aneurysm occlusion device with a neck bridge with one or more proximal openings which is inserted into an aneurysm sac to cover the neck of the aneurysm sac. Embolic pieces (or flowable material) are inserted through the openings into the aneurysm sac. The neck bridge can have a convex first shape which is collapsed and inverted into a concave second shape. The neck bridge can be used in combination with a flexible distal net or mesh.

Abstract: This invention is an optical structure with a plurality of movable reflective elements. These reflective elements have first configurations which allow transmission of environmental light. These reflective elements have second configurations which block (or reduce) transmission of environmental light and which reflect light from a virtual-object display toward a person's eye. This enables display of a relatively-opaque virtual object in an area of a person's field of view, while providing the person with a relatively-clear view of their environment in the rest of their field of view.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are smart finger rings with light emitters and light receivers which collect biometric information concerning a person's health. Light from light emitters is received by light receivers after the light has been reflected by and/or transmitted through the person's finger. Several designs disclosed herein address the problem of size variation via innovative compressible, expandable, and/or adjustable-size components. Several designs disclosed herein address the problem of unintentional ring rotation via innovative movable components which change the circumferential locations and/or angles at which light beams from light emitters exit the ring toward a person's finger.

Abstract: This invention is a smart ring with spectroscopic sensors. Changes in the spectrum of light which are caused by interaction with (e.g. reflection by or transmission through) matter are analyzed to get information about the composition of that matter. In an example, light emitters can direct light outward toward an environmental object to get information concerning the molecular composition of the object. In an example, light emitters can direct light inward toward the surface of a person's finger to measure one or more biometric parameters.
