US Patent:

20110218428, Sep 8, 2011

Filed:

Mar 4, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/040952

Inventors:

Robert Joe Westmoreland - Heath TX, US
Michael Spencer Troy - San Antonio TX, US

Assignee:

MEDICAL SCAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Heath TX

International Classification:

A61B 6/00

US Classification:

600425

Abstract:

An SLI medical image sensor system captures one or more images of a skin lesion and generates a 3D surface map of the skin lesion using SLI techniques. A feature detection module processes the 3D surface map to detect certain characteristics of the skin lesion. Feature data of the skin lesion is generated such as size, shape and texture. A feature analysis module processes the feature data of the skin lesion. The feature analysis module compares the skin lesion to prior images and feature data for the skin lesion. The feature analysis module categorizes the skin lesion based on templates and correlations of types of features.

Abstract:

An SLI cosmetology image sensor captures one or more images of an anatomical feature and generates a 3D surface map of the anatomical feature using SLI techniques. A feature detection module processes the 3D surface map to detect certain characteristics of the anatomical feature. Feature data of the anatomical feature is generated such as size, shape and texture. A feature analysis module processes the feature data. The feature analysis module compares the anatomical feature to prior images and feature data for the anatomical feature. The feature analysis module categorizes the anatomical feature based on templates and correlations of types of features.

Appl. No.:

8/770316

International Classification:

B23K 1000

US Classification:

21912148

Abstract:

A plasma producing device is furnished with a half height waveguide that transmits microwave energy through a window into an evacuated chamber, adjustable spacers controlling the distance between an opening of the waveguide and the window, and/or a return piece adjacent a permanent magnet producing the required magnetic field, preferably including sidewalls encompassing the permanent magnet. The improvements promote plasma uniformity at the workpiece by allowing smaller magnets to be employed, reducing stray magnetic fields outside the resonance zone, and facilitating transition of the microwaves from a rectangular transmission mode to a circular transmission mode outside the chamber. Facilitating transistion in this manner improves tuning or impedance matching.
