  • Patent number: 10871745
    Abstract: A method for lens-free imaging of a sample or objects within the sample uses multi-height iterative phase retrieval and rotational field transformations to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples with clinically comparable image quality to a benchtop lens-based microscope. The solution of the transport-of-intensity (TIE) equation is used as an initial guess in the phase recovery process to speed the image recovery process. The holographically reconstructed image can be digitally focused at any depth within the object FOV (after image capture) without the need for any focus adjustment, and is also digitally corrected for artifacts arising from uncontrolled tilting and height variations between the sample and sensor planes. In an alternative embodiment, a synthetic aperture approach is used with multi-angle iterative phase retrieval to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples and increase the effective numerical aperture of the image.

  • Publication number: 20200393793
    Abstract: A method of generating a color image of a sample includes obtaining a plurality of low resolution holographic images of the sample using a color image sensor, the sample illuminated simultaneously by light from three or more distinct colors, wherein the illuminated sample casts sample holograms on the image sensor and wherein the plurality of low resolution holographic images are obtained by relative x, y, and z directional shifts between sample holograms and the image sensor. Pixel super-resolved holograms of the sample are generated at each of the three or more distinct colors. De-multiplexed holograms are generated from the pixel super-resolved holograms. Phase information is retrieved from the de-multiplexed holograms using a phase retrieval algorithm to obtain complex holograms. The complex hologram for the three or more distinct colors is digitally combined and back-propagated to a sample plane to generate the color image.

  • Patent number: 10867175
    Abstract: Disclosed is a simulation method for detecting dim environment based on virtual reality, wherein by converting infrared detection images of each direction collected at each sampling point into a virtual detection space for automatically roaming in the virtual detection space to simulate a detection scene, the decision-makers can directly understand the actual situation of the target environment through the simulated virtual detection space without entering the scene, thereby making scientific decisions and reducing the probability of decision errors. And, in the disclosure, images can be acquired through infrared detectors, even for dim environments such as smoke and dust. Further, in the disclosure, it is only necessary to set an infrared detector at the sampling points of the detection path by a robot to collect the images, without the need for a detection personnel to enter or stay for a long time.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical blade, wherein the blade has a curved shape, and both sides of the blade are provided with cutting surfaces, one surface is a concave surface and the other surface is a convex surface. The thickness of the blade is gradually thinned along a cutting direction from a proximal end to a distal end. The concave surface length is set as L1, the radius of curvature R1; the length of the convex surface L2, the radius of curvature R2; the angle of the bending of the center line of the blade is ?; the diameter of the proximal end of the blade is D; the thickness of the most distal end surface of the blade is T. The relationship among them is: L1=L2+L2/1.5*(D?T)*SIN(?) (1), R1=R2+2T (2). The range of each size is adjustable within 10%. An ultrasonic wave guide and an ultrasonic scalpel using this blade have fewer potential resonant frequencies, so the thermal damage to the tissue is small, and the performance is more stable.
