System and method for automatic reading of an allergy
A system and method for automatic reading skin for an allergy to a substance, includes a consumer electronics device that acquires images of skin; a consumable member having a surface divided into elementary areas, each elementary area with a different possible allergenic substance; and a palette that, when applied against each elementary area brings the depositing part into contact with the skin thereby depositing the corresponding possible allergenic substance on or under the skin, where an image processing operation of the image of the skin taken by the consumer electronics device localizes the location that each depositing part has deposited the possible allergenic substance during the application and provides information in relation with a sensitivity of the skin, as indicated by a visible reaction, to the possible allergenic substance at each localized location.
DIABETIC COMPLICATION MONITORING DEVICE AND DIABETIC COMPLICATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING SAME
A diabetic complications monitoring apparatus and a diabetic complications monitoring system using the same, includes a support fixture having a liquid crystal color changing sheet that is located on an upper surface of the support fixture and displays a foot heat distribution based on a color, a transparent glass that is located on an upper surface of the liquid crystal color changing sheet and comes into contact with user's feet to support the user's feet, a foot heat distribution measurement unit that includes a camera for imaging the liquid crystal color changing sheet and extracts and outputs a foot heat distribution from an image of the camera, a processor that acquires and outputs whether a disease occurs, or a position and size of occurrence of a disease, based on the foot heat distribution, and a data input/output device that audioizes and visualizes an output result of the processor.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING GABOR OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHIC ANGIOGRAPHY
Systems and methods are provided for performing optical coherence tomography angiography for the rapid generation of en face images. According to one example embodiment, differential interferograms obtained using a spectral domain or swept source optical coherence tomography system are convolved with a Gabor filter, where the Gabor filter is computed according to an estimated surface depth of the tissue surface. The Gabot-convolved differential interferogram is processed to produce an en face image, without requiring the performing of a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. In another example embodiment, two interferograms are separately convolved with a Gabor filter, and the amplitudes of the Gabor-convolved interferograms are subtracted to generate a differential Gabor-convolved interferogram amplitude frame, which is then further processed to generate an en face image in the absence of performing a fast Fourier transform and k-space resampling. The example OCTA methods disclosed herein are shown to
MODELLING METHOD
A method of demonstrating the impact of a treatment on a surface comprising the steps of: i optionally imaging at least one untreated surface ii applying at least one treatment to the surface(s)such that if step i) is not performed at least two different surfaces are treated with differing treatments, iii imaging the treated surface(s) to create an image; iv converting the imaging data into a format suitable to create a magnified image on a 3D printer; v producing a 3D model of each of the imaged surface(s).
METHOD FOR EVALUATING GLOW OF SKIN, METHOD FOR EXAMINING SKIN GLOW IMPROVERS, AND SKIN GLOW IMPROVER
Provided are an evaluation method for objectively evaluating the glow of the skin, a skin glow improver, and a method for examining skin glow improvers. This method for evaluating the glow of the skin comprises assessing the specular reflectance and diffuse reflectance of skin after polarized light is applied to the surface of the skin, and determining that glow is present in the skin when prescribed conditions are satisfied. A skin glow improver is provided by combining an alkali metal salt of alkoxysalicylic acid and trimethylglycine. This method for examining skin glow improvers makes it possible, using a significant decrease in surface roughness as an indicator, to examine samples capable of improving the specular reflectance of the skin.
