| 20080203277 | Light Sensitive System and Method for Attenuating the Effect of Ambient Light - There is provided a light-sensitive system responsive to light supplied by the system and less responsive to other light. The system includes a light source operable to supply time-modulated illumination, and a light sensor having greater response to the time-modulated illumination than to light from sources not so modulated. The invention may be embodied as a camera sensitive to supplied light and relatively insensitive to ambient light, and is useful in providing images for automated image interpretation. A method for photographing an object is also provided. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100152722 | Cryoprobe with reduced adhesion to frozen tisssue - The present invention relates to devices and methods for cryosurgery. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cryoprobe which does not form strong adhesive or mechanical bonds with body tissues when such tissues are frozen by cooling action of the probe. Embodiments of the present invention include a cryoprobe having a distal cooling module with an outer surface layer of non-polar molecules, a probe having a distal cooling module with a microscopically smooth outer surface, a cryoprobe comprising a mechanism for coating a distal cooling module thereof with non-polar lubricant during movement of the cryoprobe within body tissues of a patient, and a non-cooling cryosurgery probe with non-adhesive features. Also presented are methods utilizing disclosed cryoprobes to facilitate cryosurgery and to enhance accuracy of cryoablation of user-selected cryoablation targets. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110032346 | POSITION-PERMISSIVE AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Autostereoscopic systems permitting various degrees of free movement of a viewer are provided. Some embodiments incorporate both a light-controlling module which provides for autostereoscopic viewing, and a lenticular array distinct from that module, which enhances movement permissiveness of the system. Some embodiments provide an eye-position detector and means to aim light of left and right stereoscopic images appropriately towards a viewer's left and right eyes respectively. | 02-10-2011 |
