Vehicle safety device for active train crossing detection and driver notification
Most level railroad crossings in the United States do not have active safety mechanisms such as gates, warning bells, or flashing lights to warn drivers of active train crossings. Furthermore, distractions and poor visibility can inhibit awareness of an approaching train. This makes level railroad crossings particularly dangerous and results in hundreds...

Wireless Wearable fNIR Sensor
Since the initial discovery in 1977 that brain tissue transparency to NIR (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) light allowed a non-invasive and continuous method of measuring tissue oxygen saturation using transillumination in neonates, a number of applications to non-invasively measure blood oxygenation in muscle and the circulatory system have been developed....

Portable and inexpensive smart ring that measures body composition over time.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method of measuring body fatb in relation to lean body mass. BIA determines the bioelectrical impedance, or opposition to the flow of an electric current through body tissues which can then be used to estimate body fat based on total body water and fat-free mass. During BIA, a very low-level electrical current...

3-D Reconstruction and Reality Augmentation using
TechnologyA marker-less augmented reality method that is operable in mobile applications is proposed in this invention. In particular, the invention works through a projection of color-coded light on a 3D object. A camera captures this image, which is then analyzed to obtain the correspondence between the deformation of the observed light pattern with...
