Combined iris imager and wavefront sensor

An iris imaging system used for biometric identification provides a combined iris imager and wavefront sensor. The detector array allows for independent readout of different regions, such that a wavefront sensor region can be read out fast while allowing signal to integrate on the iris imaging region. Alternatively, the entire array may be used for wavefront sensing during an acquisition phase, and then at least a portion of the array may be switched to be used for iris imaging during a subsequent imaging phase. An optical periscope optionally allows various optics to be inserted in front of the combined iris imager and wavefront sensor. In another embodiment, the glint image of an on-axis or near on-axis illumination source is picked off at the image plane and directed to the wavefront sensor optics, while allowing all of the light from the iris field to pass through to the iris imaging camera.

Method and apparatus for aligning microbeads in order to interrogate the same

ActiveUS7399643B2Rapid alignmentLow contrastImage enhancementSamplingFluorescenceChemical content
A method and apparatus are provided for aligning optical elements or microbeads, wherein each microbead has an elongated body with a code embedded therein along a longitudinal axis thereof to be read by a code reading device. The microbeads are aligned with a positioning device so the longitudinal axis of the microbeads is positioned in a fixed orientation relative to the code reading device. The microbeads are typically cylindrically shaped glass beads between 25 and 250 microns (μm) in diameter and between 100 and 500 μm long, and have a holographic code embedded in the central region of the bead, which is used to identify it from the rest of the beads in a batch of beads with many different chemical probes. A cross reference is used to determine which probe is attached to which bead, thus allowing the researcher to correlate the chemical content on each bead with the measured fluorescence signal. Because the code consists of a diffraction grating typically disposed along an axis, there is a particular alignment required between the incident readout laser beam and the readout detector in two of the three rotational axes. The third axis, rotation about the center axis of the cylinder, is azimuthally symmetric and therefore does not require alignment.

Brain state dependent therapy for improved neural training and rehabilitation

The disclosure provides an apparatus and method for assessing brain plasticity by measuring electrical brain biomarkers, for example, with a near real-time analysis of electrical brain biomarkers, where an increase or decrease in at least one biomarker is indicative of a state of brain plasticity in response to a stimulus or treatment. Brain plasticity can be measured with or without an added stimuli, for example, to determine the best time for learning. Also provided is a method for treating a neurological disease or trauma by applying an electrical or drug stimulus to a patient, where the stimulus is increased or decreased depending on the changes of electrical brain biomarker of the patient. This treatment can occur in near real-time, so a course of treatment can be tailored immediately to a patient's needs.

Video recording and playing apparatus

A video playing and recording apparatus has a time shift function which allows a television program or other such data to be temporarily recorded in a file of a time shift recording region of a hard disk while the recorded data can be played, When a data recording command is received during a time shift function, the temporary recording of data in file A of the time shift recording region is stopped, and the permanent recording in file B of a permanent recording region is started. At this time, the end address of the data in file A is recorded in file B, and the head address of the data in file B is recorded to file A. The data in file A and file B can be played continuously by using the two addresses recorded in file A or file B.
