Abstract: This invention is augmented reality eyewear with a radial, honeycomb, or nested-ring array of selectively-movable reflective elements. These reflective elements can each be moved from a first configuration which is parallel to a line of sight from an eye to a second configuration which is perpendicular to this line of sight. The second configuration reflects light displaying a virtual image to the eye and blocks environmental light in the area of the virtual image. Since light from the environment does not shine through the virtual object, the virtual object appears solid instead of “ghost like.

Abstract: This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device with a proximal bowl-shaped mesh which covers the neck of an aneurysm sac and a distal globular mesh between the proximal bowl-shaped mesh and the dome of the aneurysm sac. The proximal bowl-shaped mesh blocks blood flow into the aneurysm sac and the distal globular mesh holds the bowl-shaped mesh in place against the aneurysm neck.

Abstract: This invention is a non-invasive Brain to Computer Interface (BCI) method for interpreting a word, phrase, or command from brain activity by identifying a pattern of electromagnetic brain activity which occurs when a person uses different action modalities to communicate a word, phrase, or command. This method can enable people with neuromuscular limitations and/or paralysis to communicate. It can also enable people to communicate and/or to control environmental devices via their thought patterns in situations where communication via touch screen, keyboard, mouse, voice command, or gesture recognition is not appropriate and/or possible.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable device or system for optical analysis of breast tissue which be embodied in a “smart bra” or an insert which is placed into the cup of a conventional bra. This device or system has light emitters which transmit light into breast tissue and light receivers which receive the light after it has been transmitted through the breast tissue. It also has expandable chambers which gently compress a breast to reduce light diffusion and improve optical scanning of breast tissue.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is augmented reality (AR) eyewear with at least one array of individually-adjustable optical elements whose levels of light transmission and/or reflectivity are selectively and individually adjusted by application of electrical current, or by exposure to an electromagnetic field, via transparent (or translucent) electroconductive pathways. Optical elements in this array collectively comprise a section of a Fresnel Reflector which has been selected (e.g. extracted or “cut out”) from the right side or the left side of a Fresnel Reflector.

Abstract: This invention is an intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device with a longitudinal mesh ribbon having a series of loops or segments with distal-to-proximal variation in their sizes, shapes, or orientations. For example, loops or segments can be progressively smaller in size and/or progressively more curved as one views the series in a distal-to-proximal direction. The device may also enable a user to selectively and remotely bend, steer, or elongate the loops or segments in real time as the ribbon is being deployed into an aneurysm sac.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device with a linearly-aligned proximal-to-distal stack of embolic structures which is configured to be inserted into an aneurysm sac and then radially-expanded and longitudinally-contracted. The stack can be shaped like a 3D revolution of three single phases (or one and half full phases) of a sine wave around its central longitudinal axis. There can be openings in the stack which allow insertion of embolic material (e.g. coils, hydrogels, or congealing material) into the embolic structures.

Abstract: This invention is an intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device with nested structures, including an inner embolic structure (e.g. inner mesh, net, braid, and/or stent) which is nested inside an outer embolic structure (e.g. outer mesh, net, braid, and/or stent). The inner embolic structure can have an ellipsoidal, toroidal, inverted jug, or inverted bottle shape. The outer embolic structure can have a spherical shape. The device can also have an opening and valve through which embolic material is inserted into the aneurysm sac.

Abstract: This invention is a smart bra for optical scanning of breast tissue which has light emitters which transmit light into breast tissue, light receivers which receive the light after it has been transmitted through the breast tissue, and expandable components which selectively move light emitters and/or receivers closer to the surface of a breast where there are air gaps.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable device which helps a person to track their food intake as part of a system for nutritional intake monitoring and management. This invention can be embodied in a smart watch and/or wrist band with a camera, a display and/or camera viewfinder, a spectroscopic sensor, and an eating detector. The eating detector can be an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, a microphone, or an EMG sensor. The camera and/or the spectroscopic sensor can be automatically activated when the person eats food, but otherwise remain off to help maintain privacy.

Abstract: This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.

Abstract: This invention helps a person in bed to avoid decubitus ulcers. This device has a flexible body support structure (such as a sheet or blanket) which is automatically moved from a first configuration, which is flat, to a second configuration, which enfolds and/or wraps around a person's body. The device turns a person from lying on their first side to lying on their opposite side by: enfolding the person in the support structure; rotating or pivoting the support structure; and then releasing the person by unfolding the support structure.

Abstract: This intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device includes a neck bridge with a closeable opening through which embolic material is inserted into an aneurysm sac. After the neck bridge has been expanded within the aneurysm sac, a catheter is inserted through the opening and embolic material is delivered through the catheter into the aneurysm sac. After the aneurysm sac has been filled with embolic material, the catheter is then withdrawn and the opening is closed so that embolic material does not escape out of the aneurysm sac.

Abstract: This invention is a device which creates adjustable acoustic and/or thermal zones in a bed to address sleep issues such as bed partner snoring and hot flashes. Adjustable acoustic bed zones can be created with a flexible movable partition which longitudinally spans a bed from an arch at the head of the bed to an arch at the foot of the bed. Adjustable thermal bed zones can be created with inflow and outflow flexible longitudinal air tubes which are inserted into a space between layers of bedding.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable ring of optical biometric sensors comprising an arcuate array of light emitters and light receivers which is configured to collectively span at least half of the circumference of a person's wrist, finger, or arm. Light energy from the light emitters which has passed through the person's body tissue and/or has been reflected from the person's body tissue is analyzed in order to measure biometric parameters such as the person's oxygenation level, hydration level, glucose level, pulse rate, heart rate variability, and/or blood pressure.

Abstract: This invention is an intrasaccular aneurysm occlusion device comprising: a net or mesh with a self-expanding resilient proximal portion (which is deployed close to the aneurysm neck) and an expandable flexible distal portion (which is deployed close to the aneurysm dome); and a “string of pearls” of embolic members which are inserted into the net or mesh.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for occluding a cerebral aneurysm which includes: delivering a flexible implant in a compressed first configuration to a cerebral aneurysm through a catheter; inserting the flexible implant into the aneurysm sac wherein the flexible implant self-expands to a second configuration; and then delivering embolic members and/or embolic material into the flexible implant to expand further the flexible implant into a third configuration which conforms to the walls of even an irregularly-shaped aneurysm sac.

Abstract: This invention is a smart face mask with a transparent portion which covers a person's mouth, at least one impellor-driven air filter, and at least one passive air filter, wherein the air filters are in fluid communication with the space between the transparent portion and the person's mouth. Air can be drawn into the mask through the impellor-driven air filter primarily by the impellor, but air flows into or out of the mask through the passive air filter due to the person's respiration.
