| 20090202043 | Polychromic Digital Radiography Detector with Patterned Mask for Single-Exposure Energy-Sensitive X-Ray Imaging - A digital radiography system, having: a pixelated optical detector; and a mask positioned adjacent to the pixelated optical detector, the mask comprising a repeating pattern of first and second portions configured to pass different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation therethrough such that a polychromic X-ray image can be taken using only a single X-ray exposure with a single imaging detector. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090306498 | Systems and Methods for Improving Follicular Unit Harvesting - Tools and methods are provided for dissecting and/or removing biological units, such as hair follicles, from the body surface based on the images both above and below a body surface to reduce potential damage to the removed biological unit. The invention may be used in fully automated systems and also in a hand-held devices and systems. A system may produce a series of three-dimensional images of the body surface indicating follicular unit size, shape, position, and orientation both above and below the skin surface. The images may be utilized by an automated follicular unit harvesting tool, or maybe stored for later use. Imaging techniques include devices that sense light in the visible or infrared spectrums, optical coherence tomography, and ultrahigh frequency ultrasound. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100310046 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AN IMAGE OF AN OBJECT BY USE OF X-RAY BEAMS GENERATED BY MULTIPLE SMALL AREA SOURCES AND BY USE OF FACING SIDES OF ADJACENT MONOCHROMATOR CRYSTALS - Systems and methods for detecting an image of an object by use of X-ray beams generated by multiple small area sources are disclosed. A plurality of monochromator crystals may be positioned to intercept the plurality of first X-ray beams such that a plurality of second X-ray beams each having predetermined energy levels is produced. Further, an object to be imaged may be positioned in paths of the second x-ray beams for transmission of the second X-ray beams through the object and emitting from the object a plurality of transmission X-ray beams. The X-ray beams may be directed at angles of incidence upon a plurality of analyzer crystals for detecting an image of the object. | 12-09-2010 |
