Method for Measuring Distance in Three Dimensions

Invention SummaryThis technology represents a novel approach to automatically detecting the distance between points in three-dimensional space. The approach allows for more freedom as the monitors do not need to directly align and the accuracy of the system is independent of environmental factors such as brightness or fiber length. This technology could...

Biomimetic MEMS Actuation of a Compliant Micro Lens, With Accompanying PDMS Molding

Invention Summary Deployable structures (think “Hoberman-like”) have been proven versatile in a variety of macro environments; namely aerospace, satellites, robotics, and even retractable stadium coverings. This is largely owing to the property that minor input actuation results in very large internal displacements. Rather than using...

Optical Scanning System to Detect Volume and Interferences in Blood Specimen in Opaque Test Containers

Invention Summary: Current state-of-the-art fully automated blood sampling systems do not implement pre-screening of test tubes for volume or content. Instead, all test tubes are sent to the analyzers which may fail to complete a test due to insufficient volume or interferences within the sample. Spillage may also occur in the event that that sample...
