  • Publication number: 20210321931
    Abstract: A wearable module assembly for an optical measurement system includes a first wearable module, a second wearable module, and a connector. The first and second wearable modules each include a light source configured to emit a light pulse toward a target within a body of a user, a housing that houses the light source and the plurality of detectors and includes a substantially hexagonal surface that faces a surface of the body of the user when the wearable module assembly is worn by the user, and a plurality of detectors each positioned at a fixed distance from the first light source and each configured to detect a set of photons included in the light pulse after the set of photons are scattered by the target. The connector directly connects the first wearable module and the second wearable module at mutually-facing side surfaces of the respective housings.

  • Publication number: 20210259618
    Abstract: An optical measurement system includes a wearable module assembly configured to be worn on a body of a user. The wearable module assembly includes a plurality of wearable modules and a connecting assembly. Each wearable module includes a light source configured to emit a light pulse toward a target within the body of the user and a plurality of detectors configured to receive photons included in the light pulse after the photons are scattered by the target. The connecting assembly physically and flexibly connects the plurality of wearable modules such that the wearable module assembly is conformable to a three-dimensional (3D) surface of the body of the user when the wearable module assembly is worn on the body of the user.

  • Patent number: 11022731
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for recovering both phase and amplitude of an arbitrary sample in an optical microscope from a single image, using patterned partially coherent illumination. This is realized through the use of a encoded light source which embeds several different illumination patterns into color channels. The sample is modulated by each illumination wavelength separately and independently of each other, but all of the channels are sensed by the imaging device in a single step. This color image contains information about the phase and amplitude of a sample encoded in each channel, and can be used to recover both amplitude and phase from this single image, at the incoherent resolution limit. Further, extensions of this method are shown which allow the same recovery of a sample whilst it is moving during a single exposure using a motion deblurring algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10929601
    Abstract: Techniques for determining an answer that relates to a user question when a system is unable to determine an exact answer to the user question are described. When the system receives a user question, the system may parse the user question to determine the words making up the question. The system may then process the words against an indexed dictionary of words to piece the words of the question together to from interpretations of the different possible relationships that may exist between the words. The system may attempt to determine an exact answer to the user question using the indexed words. If the system determines an exact answer, the system may output the answer to the querying user. If the system is unable to determine an exact answer, the system may navigate through a ontology of relationships within a knowledge base to determine an answer that is related to the user question but that may not directly answer the user question.
