Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotics. More specifically, some embodiments of the present technology relate to an integrated system design for a mobile manipulation robot with socially expressive abilities. Some embodiments provide for a robot comprising a socially expressive head unit. The head can have at least two degrees of freedom created by a motor with a planetary gear box and a servo. The motor can be connected to a shell via a support that allows the shell to tilt up and down upon activation of the motor. The shell can include a camera housing configured to receive a camera which can be attached to the support. The motor can be mounted on a rotatable shaft controlled by a servo causing the head unit to pan.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to stereotaxic devices. More specifically some embodiments relate to a robotic stereotaxic platform with computer vision to automatically and accurately position an animal subject into the proper position for a surgical procedure. A surgical procedure is required to precisely place electrodes, injection pipettes, optical fibers, or other device inside an animal subjects brain nucleus or other region of the brain to test functioning or experimentally manipulating the brain, or inside another part of the body. Improving the success rate of these surgical procedures reduces investigator time, reduces expenditure of supplies, and promotes scientific discovery resulting in better treatments for patients.

Abstract:
Recent remarkable progress in wave-front shaping has enabled control of light propagation inside linear media to focus and image through scattering objects. In particular, light propagation in multimode fibers comprises complex intermodal interactions and rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Control of physical phenomena in multimode fibers and its applications is in its infancy, opening opportunities to take advantage of complex mode interactions. Various embodiments of the present technology provide wave-front shaping for controlling nonlinear phenomena in multimode fibers. Using a spatial light modulator at the fiber's input and a genetic algorithm optimization, some embodiments control a highly nonlinear stimulated Raman scattering cascade and its interplay with four wave mixing via a flexible implicit control on the superposition of modes that are coupled into the fiber.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present technology include a wearable physiological monitoring device, related algorithms and software that are tied to a portable electronic device for readout. The wearable device can perform real-time measurement of a number of physiological and environmental parameters including heart rate, pulse oximetry, respiration, movement, environmental particulate matter, moisture, temperature (e.g., ambient air and body temperatures) and geospatial location. Some embodiments may establish a physiological baseline for a patient by measuring the above parameters during a healthy state. Collected data can be wirelessly transmitted to a portable electronic device or monitoring and feedback platform where software will analyze the data and make assessments of the device wearer's health based upon the wearer's baseline.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology allow multi-realm support at l/S-CSCF to IMS by the same l/S-CSCF nodes. Some embodiments allow for a registration message to be received from an IMS client. The registration message can be used to establish, through an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core network, a service between a first endpoint associated with a first realm and a second endpoint associated with a second, different realm. The registration message can be translated so that the second endpoint believes the first endpoint is associated with the second realm before being transmitted to the second endpoint. Upon receiving a successful IMS registration message from the IMS core network, a binding can be created between the first endpoint and the second endpoint.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to wireless heat devices ("wireless heating devices"). More specifically, some embodiments relate to disposable devices, designed for the conversion of oscillating magnetic field energy directly into thermal energy, without a battery storage medium or intermediary. Described are devices being used to directly convert magnetic field energy into thermal energy for the purpose of heating target surfaces.
Abstract:
System and methods are provided for detecting numerical text strings within a text string and converting those numerical text strings into digit strings. The digit strings may be reflected in real-time, such as when the user is typing a text message. If more than one possible format of the digit string is determined, the system may then provide a selection of the various formats for selection. Once the proper format for the digit string is determined, that digit string may replace the numerical string previously detected in the text string. The text to digit conversion and associated formatting expedites user text entry such that the user is not required to switch keyboard views, (e.g., virtual keyboards). Additionally, converting to digit strings compresses message length, as well as provide other benefits.
Abstract:
A sheath for protecting an endotracheal tube assembly before and during intubating a patient. The sheath includes a proximal end and a distal end, an inner diameter forming an inner elongated portion, an outer diameter forming an outer elongated portion, and a distal deformed, tapered, and/or textured portion. The endotracheal tube is positioned adjacent to the inner elongated portion of the sheath, before and during intubation of a patient.
