Patent number: 10989596Abstract: A subject identification device includes: an illuminator configured to generate illumination light including components at a plurality of wavelength bands, each of the components having a characteristic in accordance with a respective one of settings; an imager configured to generate an image signal by capturing light from a subject under the illumination light having the illumination characteristic; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: define an illumination characteristic of the illumination light; analyze the image signal to acquire spectral information of the subject; and cross check the spectral information of the subject with subject identification information in order to identify the subject. When the subject is not identified, the processor is configured to define another illumination characteristic that causes spectral information of potentials for the subject to be identified, and subsequently each of the imager and the processor performs a process.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Takuji Horie, Masanori Mitsui, Joji Sakamoto

Patent number: 10983270Abstract: An intravascular or other 2D or 3D imaging apparatus can include a minimally-invasive distal imaging guidewire portion. A plurality of thin optical fibers can be circumferentially distributed about a cylindrical guidewire core, such as in an spiral-wound or otherwise attached optical fiber ribbon. A low refractive index coating, high numerical aperture (NA) fiber, or other technique can be used to overcome challenges of using extremely thin optical fibers. Coating and ribbonizing techniques are described. Also described are non-uniform refractive index peak amplitudes or wavelengths techniques for FBG writing, using a depressed index optical cladding, chirping, a self-aligned connector, optical fiber routing and alignment techniques for a system connector, and an adapter for connecting to standard optical fiber coupling connectors.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Phyzhon Health foc.Inventors: Diana Margaret Tasker, Michael J.

Patent number: 10978571Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to techniques for forming a self-aligned contact liner using metal-insulator transition materials. The self-aligned contact architecture described herein prevents a short between the gate and the source/drain, even when the self-aligned contact (SAC) cap has eroded to the point where the gate is exposed. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a dielectric cap is formed over a conductive gate. A source or drain region is formed adjacent to the conductive gate. A dielectric liner is formed over the dielectric cap and the source or drain region such that a first portion of the dielectric liner is on a surface of the source or drain region. The dielectric liner includes a metal-insulator transition material. The first portion of the dielectric liner is metalized via germanium oxide sublimation.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Choonghyun Lee, Kangguo Cheng, Juntao Li, Peng Xu

Patent number: 10969587Abstract: Compact and low mass augmented and fully virtual head mounted display designs are disclosed. The disclosed displays employ a display located between the eye and the main optical element of the head mounted display. These designs additionally afford the ability to support augmented reality displays because the user can see both the virtual image from the display and the real world if desired. The designs use semi-transparent displays where either the display emits circularly polarized light or the displays which emits light from one surface or the view of the display directly from the eye is obscured.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Fakespace Labs, Inc.Inventors: Ian E. McDowall, Mark T. Bolas
