Filed:

Feb 16, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/676260

Inventors:

Ryan E. Sullivan - Yardley PA, US
Mike Kovach - London, CA
Jens Wulf - Grafelfing, DE

Assignee:

Photon Technology International, Inc. - Birmingham NJ

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345184, 345156

Abstract:

The present invention provides a control interface for one or more instruments that comprise an image acquisition system, the control interface consisting of kinesthetic controls that do not require visual attention. The control interface of the present invention maps kinesthetic controls such as sliders and knobs to a system computer and software running thereon which is directing the operation of individual imaging instruments.

Jens Wulf - Grafelfing, DE

Assignee:

Photon Technology International, Inc. - Birmingham NJ

International Classification:

H04N 5/222
G01J 3/12
F21V 9/00

US Classification:

348370, 348371, 356332, 362293

Abstract:

The present invention provides synchronization and control between the wavelength of a multi-wavelength illuminator and the image frames acquired by a video camera. In accordance with the present invention, the trailing edge of a camera expose-signal triggers a pre-loaded digital value to be output from a FIFO buffer. The digital value selects a particular illumination wavelength either directly or through a voltage from a digital to analog converter. The FIFO may be periodically refilled, or it may be a circular register.

International Classification:

G02B 6/06

US Classification:

385116, 385 31, 385 33, 356301, 436 46, 436514, 250584

Abstract:

A fiber spectroscopic probe that can be mounted directly above the objective lens of a standard microscope to add a spectroscopic function to the microscope. The fiber spectroscopic probe only consists of a minimum number of optical components and is compact enough to induce minimum alteration to the optical path of the microscope.

US Classification:

601 15, 607 88, 607 89, 606129

Abstract:

A phototherapy method for assisting the transvenous lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and dilation of occluded veins for any implantable lead placement. The phototherapy treatment helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and enhance angiogenesis to facilitate optimal positioning of the leads.

Abstract:

Various arrangements for monitoring occupancy of multiple parking spaces are presented herein. Arrangements may use a radar-based vehicle detector that comprises a radar antenna that has a field-of-view of a portion of a parking facility. Multiple parking sensors may be present that monitor parking spaces outside of or obstructed from the field-of-view. A parking host system may be present that communicates with the radar-based vehicle detector and the plurality of parking sensors and determines in which parking space a vehicle has parked.

Ryan Sullivan - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G08G 1/042
G08G 1/14

Abstract:

Various arrangements for determining that a vehicle is present in a parking space are presented. A parking sensor can make a plurality of magnetic field strength measurements using a magnetometer. A determination that the vehicle is parked proximate to the parking sensor device within the parking space can be based on a magnetic field strength measurement in relation to the selected magnetic field strength window.
