A system for simultaneously detecting audio-characteristics within a body over multiple body surface locations comprising a coherent light source directing at least one coherent light beam toward the body surface locations, an imager acquiring a plurality of defocused images, each is of reflections of the coherent light beam from the body surface locations. Each image includes at least one speckle pattern, each corresponding to a respective coherent light beam and further associated with a time-tag. A processor, coupled with the imager, determines in-image displacements over time of each of a plurality of regional speckle patterns according to said acquired images. Each one of the regional speckle patterns is at least a portion of a respective speckle pattern. Each regional speckle pattern is associated with a respective different body surface location. The processor determines the audio-characteristics according to the in-image displacements over time of the regional speckle patterns.

A method for measuring respiratory parameters of a subject using a range imaging sensor, wherein the method includes: receiving from the range imaging sensor at least one raw image of at least one portion of the torso of the subject, wherein each point of the raw image represents the distance between the range imaging sensor and the subject; generating a surface image of at least one portion of a surface of the torso of the subject by surface interpolation of the raw image; estimating a respiratory signal as a function of time calculated as the spatial average, in a given region of interest (ROI) defined on the torso of the subject, of the differences between the depth values of the surface image at a given time and the depth values of a reference surface image; and estimating a lung volume.

An optical fingerprint authentication device includes at least a light source and an image sensor and detects diffused light. The light source is an organic electroluminescence panel. The organic electroluminescence panel comprises a light emitting portion region and a light-transmitting non-light emitting portion, the light emitting portion region being shaped by an organic electroluminescence element. A fingerprint information reader having the image sensor arranged at a position adjacent to the non-light emitting portion is provided.

A flexible head probe and modular head probe system that includes an optical functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system and integrated position sensor. The head probe and modular head probe system determines physiological data based upon the optical information gathered by the fNIRS system and gathers motion and position data from the position sensor. The physiological data and motion and position data are combined to permit topographical and tomographic analyses of a user's brain tissue.

The following disclosure discusses systems and methods of detecting and analyzing cutaneous conditions. According to one embodiment, a 2D image of the cutaneous condition and a set of 3D point clouds associated with the 2D image are captured using an image capturing device. The 2D image and the set of 3D point clouds are sent to a computing device. The computing device generates a 3D surface according to the set of 3D point clouds. Subsequently, the computing device receives a depth map for the 2D image based upon the 3D surface from another computing device such that the depth map comprises depth data for each pixel of the 2D image. The cutaneous condition may then be measured and analyzed based upon the depth map using the computing device.

The invention relates to three computer implemented methods providing virtual fitting room functionality to a human. The three computer implemented methods allow for a simple and efficient garment selection process by the human.

A facial skin disorder (FSD) identification system is provided and includes a sliding rail arranged around a human facial epidermis, a carrier arranged on the sliding rail, at least one image capturing device arranged on the carrier, and a control circuit unit arranged on the carrier for the carrier to move on the sliding rail and the image capturing device to capture images of the human facial epidermis.

A method of selecting or generating a design for a component of a patient interface device, the method including receiving a scan of at least a portion of a patient's face, receiving preference information about the patient, and generating a custom design or selecting a preexisting design for the component of the patient interface device based on the scan of at least a portion of the patient's face and the preference information, wherein a size or shape of the generated custom design for the component or selected preexisting design for the component is based on the preference information.

The present invention discloses an oral scanner, including an outer casing, a reflector, a heat source, an optical module and a forced convection element. The outer casing has a cavity. The reflector is located at the front end of the cavity. The heat source is located in the outer casing. The optical module is located in the casing. A heat channel is formed between the optical module and the outer casing. The forced convection element is disposed in the heat channel and configured to forcedly dissipate the waste heat of the heat source to the cavity to heat the reflector. Thus, the temperature of the heat source can be reduced, and vapor will not be generated on the reflector heated by the waste heat.
