摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for tissue-characterization, designed for effective sensor-to-tissue contact. The device includes an element, having a rigid surface of a linear cross-section, on which at least one sensor is arranged, and a mechanism for applying a force to a soft tissue, the line of force being at an acute angle with the rigid surface, for stretching or stretching and pushing the soft tissue against the rigid surface, thus achieving effective contact between the tissue and the at least one sensor. In consequence, the accuracy of the sensing is improved. In accordance with another embodiment, a plurality of sensors is employed, arranged along a curved element, for providing three-dimensional information regarding the tissue, for example, by small-scale computerized tomography.

A footwear system having a plurality of temperature sensors determines the emergence of an ulcer or pre-ulcer on a person's foot. After the plurality of temperature sensors generate a plurality of discrete temperature data values, the system and method form a temperature map representing substantially the actual geometric shape of at least a portion of the foot, and the distribution of temperatures of the at least a portion of the foot. Next, the method and system determine whether the temperature map presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns, and produces output information indicating an emergence of an ulcer or a pre-ulcer on a given portion on the foot. The output information is produced as a function of whether the temperature map is determined to present the at least one of the plurality of prescribed patterns.

A brain activity estimation device (10) is provided with a facial skin temperature acquisition means (20) and a brain activity estimation means (30). The facial skin temperature acquisition means (20) detects skin temperature in at least part of a human face, and acquires facial skin temperature data in a time series manner. The facial skin temperature data includes detected temperature data and location data of the detection region thereof. On the basis of the facial skin temperature data acquired by the facial skin temperature acquisition means (20), the brain activity estimation means (30) estimates the human brain activity. The brain activity estimation means (30) decomposes the facial skin temperature data into a plurality of components by singular value decomposition, principal component analysis, or independent component analysis. The brain activity estimation means (30) extracts a component as a determination component from among the plurality of components. The component has the amplitude of the component waveform thereof is correlated to a change at a time when the brain is at rest and a time when the brain is stimulated. The brain activity estimation means (30) determines whether the determination component is related to the human brain activity on the basis of the presence or absence of a temperature change in a prescribed region of a human face.

The method comprising cyclically executing the following phases: two separate calibration phase; using first and second standards; external radiation reception phase; data processing phase and data transformation phase.
摘要:
An observation unit (OU) and auxiliary observation unit (AOU) sensor are calibrated in relation to an ambient environment. The OU sensor and the AOU sensor are calibrated in relation to an observational subject. Monitoring parameters are established for the calibrated sensors using a receiving unit (RU). Monitoring types are activated using the RU. Data is gathered from the OU sensor and the AOU sensor. A determination is made that the gathered data exceeds the established monitoring parameters. One or more alerts are generated based on the determination.
摘要:
A method of ion imaging is disclosed that includes automatically sampling a plurality of different locations on a sample using a front device which is arranged and adapted to generate aerosol, smoke or vapour from the sample. Mass spectral data and/or ion mobility data corresponding to each location is obtained and the obtained mass spectral data and/or ion mobility data is used to construct, train or improved a sample classification model.
