Shivang R. Dave has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9854965
    Abstract: Eye prescriptions may be determined by providing a simple, easy to use, portable device with a specially configured targeting light source that aligns the eye, mitigates accommodation, and provides accurate results. Unlike stationary, closed view autorefractors, this device typically is portable, self-usable, relatively inexpensive, enabling more widespread use across the world.

  • Publication number: 20160370474
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring a series of medical images includes a plurality of detectors configured to be arranged to acquire gamma rays emitted from a subject as a result of an advanced radionuclide administered to the subject and communicate signals corresponding to acquired gamma rays. A data processing system is configured to receive the signals from the plurality of detectors, determine double coincidence event dataset and a multiple coincidence event dataset, separate the multiple coincidence event dataset into at least one of a standard lines of response dataset and a nonstandard lines of response dataset, and apply a background correction to the double coincidence event dataset based on the non-standard lines of response dataset and/or the standard lines of response dataset to obtain a standard coincidence dataset.

  • Publication number: 20160328635
    Abstract: Non-uniformities in substrate thickness and surface topography contribute significantly to the need for auto-focusing on a sample deposited thereon. These auto-focusing needs can be reduced or eliminated by measuring and storing substrate surface topography for later retrieval by an imaging system that can use the topographic information to help set appropriate focal parameters. These steps can be done in advance of an imaging experiment to reduce focus-related delays during the experiment. Topographic information can be stored, for example, in a database, associated with a representation of a unique substrate identifier; entry of the representation retrieves the topographic information. As another example, topographic information can be stored in an encoding device associated with the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20160131774
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring a series of medical images includes acquiring imaging data, identifying double coincidence events and multiple detection (MD) co-incidence events from the imaging data, and storing the double coincidence events and the MD coincidence events in a first dataset and a second dataset, respectively. The method also includes applying a normalization correction to the first dataset and/or the second dataset using normalization values based on double coincidence events and/or MD coincidence events to obtain at least one normalized dataset, and reconstructing a series of medical images of the subject from the at least one normalized dataset.

  • Publication number: 20160076978
    Abstract: Among other aspects, the present invention provides for the deposition of biological particles, such as cells, in a liquid, in a desired two-dimensional pattern on a planar surface of a substrate so as to permit rapid, simple, and sensitive detection of cells and/or sub-cellular components (e.g., proteins, biomarkers) disposed on the substrate. In various aspects, the systems and methods can enable reproducible high-throughput screening and/or allow for sensitive and specific detection of rare events in heterogeneous cell populations within a biological sample, with limited or no selective cell loss or sample enrichment.

  • Publication number: 20150289825
    Abstract: A method and system for acquiring a series of medical images includes receiving medical imaging data corresponding to photons emitted from a subject having received a dose of a radiotracer. Determining, from the medical imaging data, coincidence events including photon coincidence events involving two photons and photon coincidence events involving more than two photons. The photon coincidence events involving two photons and photon coincidence events involving more than two photons are processed and use to reconstruct a series of medical images of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20150286887
    Abstract: High-contrast, high-density cell-sized microparticles are introduced into a cell-containing solution prior to the solution being spread onto a planar substrate for imaging. The microparticles facilitate both the process of imager autofocusing and the subsequent registration of multiple images taken of regions of the substrate. The microparticles can further facilitate the correction of chromatic aberration.
