Title: System and method for medical monitoring and treatment through cosmetic monitoring and treatment
Inventor: EDGAR ALBERT D
IPC: G06V10/60
Filed: 2006-08-14
Abstract: A system and method that scans areas of a human body to identify unattractive characteristics and make cosmetic enhancements is modified for medical monitoring and optionally for treatment. A 3-D model of the exterior surface of the human body is created, and the scanned data is analyzed by characteristics of reflectance and surface topology to identify unhealthy characteristics. Because people will use a cosmetics system widely and frequently, base lines of patients' conditions can be created through frequent monitoring over a long time period, so that potentially dangerous changes from the base line can identified quickly and reported on. When appropriate, precise applications of medications to treat affected areas may be made automatically. Controlled and precisely directed dosages of medications may be applied to reduce the risk of undesirable side effects. Medicines may also be applied over a large area of skin and during a long period of time to achieve desired treatments.

Title: Combination physical separator and filter device to remove contaminants from stormwater runoff
Inventor: PANK THOMAS E
IPC: E03F5/14
Filed: 2008-03-07
Abstract: An input chamber receives runoff water to be cleaned.  Part of the way up the chamber wall is a restricted outlet which feeds a system for cleaning the water. At a still higher elevation another opening allows runoff water to flow to an extended detention chamber. Near the top of the chamber is an outlet pipe. A vertical baffle in front of the outlet cleans water that flows under the baffle on its way to the outlet. When the incoming flow rate is very high, water passes over the baffle to the outlet.

Abstract: Computer communications that are to be recorded are visible to a network interface on a recording computer. The network interface receives the packets to be recorded.  The network layer of the recording computer implements a subset of the normal IP  module in the network layer. Instead of checking every IP packet, the IP  module in the network layer assumes that most IP packets are correctly addressed, internally consistent and of the expected protocol type. The recording computer allocates the received packets to a recording session based upon the value of a field that is at a fixed position within the packet. Packets that are allocated to a session are recorded or associated with other packets that have been allocated to the same session.

Title: Image analysis systems for grading of meat, predicting quality of meat and/or predicting meat yield of an animal carcass
Inventor: SHACKELFORD STEVEN D
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: The invention is an image analysis system and method for grading of meat, predicting quality of meat and/or predicting meat yield of an animal.  One embodiment of the invention is particularly designed to capture an image of the 12th rib cross section of the ribeye and perform an image analysis of the ribeye for grading purposes. The image capturing camera portion of the system has a wedged shaped camera housing for ease of insertion into the ribbed incision.  The image capturing portion of the system further comprises a camera with a flash for consistent lighting. The camera is positioned such that it views the ribeye cross section at an angle to accommodate the wedge shape of the camera housing for ease of insertion in the incision. The camera housing also has various alignment means to facilitate the user's ability to capture images in a consistent manner. Once the image is captured either digitally or captured and converted to a digital image, an image analysis is performed on the digital image to determine parameters such as the percentage lean, total area of the ribeye, total fat area, total lean area, percent marbling, and thickness of fat adjacent to the ribeye, and other parameters. These parameters are used to predict value determining traits of the carcass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a psychological method for testing or subconsciously teaching a subject. The method involves varying a subconscious exposure time period of a visual subconscious stimulus displayed to a subject in order to determine an effective subconscious exposure time period specific to the subject. To subconsciously test the subject, the method further uses a masking stimulus following the visual subconscious stimulus, both images having common image characteristics including brightness and contrast. The masking stimulus is made from scrambled subcomponents of the visual subconscious stimulus. The invention also describes an apparatus for psychological testing capable of varying a subconscious exposure time period of a visual subconscious stimulus displayed to a subject in order to determine an effective subconscious exposure time period specific to the subject. The apparatus also uses a mosaic generator to generate a masking stimulus from a visual subconscious stimulus.

Abstract: In case a pressure regenerator is attached to the exhaust port of a displacement type engine to regenerate the energy of an exhaust so as to realize the Atkinson's cycle, an abnormal combustion or a fusion of an exhaust valve occurs in a 4-cycle engine if a regenerative pressure is raised. This problem is solved by using a 6-cycle engine as the displacement type engine. The 6-cycle engine with the regenerator can change the output ratio between the 6-cycle engine and the regenerator so that it can be utilized as either an engine for generating two kinds of outputs by using that principle or a highly controllable 6-cycle gas turbine. This internal combustion engine is excellent and useful in the mileage as a prime mover from a power plant to a small generator or as an engine to be mounted on a mover such as a ship or a car. The internal combustion engine is especially suitable for the mover such as a hybrid car. Incidentally, the 6-cycle engine is ready for license agreements.
