The disclosed method may be used in a number of psychophysical test methods, including, but not limited to, measurement of dark adaptation. The improved method for photobleaching involves at least one of the following improvements: (i) the use of a bleaching light emitting a particular wavelength of light or a tailored spectrum of wavelengths; (ii) restricting or otherwise spatially tailoring the region of the retina that is subject to photobleaching; and (iii) utilizing a bleaching light having an intensity that is at or below the intensity of ambient daylight. The present disclosure additionally provides a combination of a photobleaching light and an apparatus to administer a psychophysical test suitable for use in practicing the disclosed methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: The UAB Research FoundationInventors: John G. Edwards, Gregory R. Jackson

Patent number: 11195405Abstract: A drowsiness level of a driver in a vehicle is determined. A preliminary alert is performed in response to that the drowsiness level is higher than an alert threshold value. A main alert is performed to prompt the driver to wake up from drowsiness as necessary after the preliminary alert. In response to that a predetermined response operation by the driver is detected within a predetermined time after the preliminary alert, the alert threshold value is changed to be higher.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Atsuhiro Doi, Mitsutoshi Nagata

Patent number: 11141061Abstract: Traditional cognitive load estimation techniques rely on raw pupil size alone which is often prone to confound with changes in illumination, errors associated with sensor devices and irregular oscillations of pupil under constant light conditions. Estimation of cognitive load finds application in many domains including optimum work allocation, assessing a work environment and medical diagnosis. The present disclosure employs frequency domain analysis of pupil size variations to estimate load imposed by a cognitive task. A cognitive load metric based on power and frequency relations at mean frequency of the variation in pupil size addresses cognitive load estimation based on pupil dilation, wherein the pupil dilation is captured by employing low cost non-intrusive nearables.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Rahul Dasharath Gavas, Debatri Chatterjee, Aniruddha Sinha

Patent number: 11144116Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a virtual reality exercise game. One of the methods includes determining a head rotation of the user and a head lean of the user on an exercise device based on data from one or more sensors. The method includes presenting a virtual reality environment on a virtual reality headset, wherein the perspective of the user in the virtual world is determined by a vehicle that defines the velocity of the perspective, a body which defines a reference view point of the perspective (with the head looking forward), and a head which defines the view point of the perspective. The method also includes determining to apply rotation to the body in response to determining that a direction of the head rotation is in a direction of the lean.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Virzoom, Inc.Inventor: Eric Malafeew
