An articulated and animated toy capable of recognizing human users and selected inanimate objects and interacting therewith which includes a computer-based device having stored thereon encoded first human or human-like facial images, a video camera and video digitizer for acquiring data representative of a second human or human-like facial image, and software resident within said computer-based device for facial recognition, which includes Principal Component Analysis, Neural Networks, or another equivalent algorithm for comparing said first human or human-like facial images with said second human or human-like facial image and producing an output signal therefrom for use in identifying said human users. The apparatus can further include software for recognizing speech, generating speech and controlling animation of the articulated toy. In addition, said computer-based device is capable of learning and storing information pertaining to each of said human users such as name, age, sex, favorite color, etc.

Several systems and methods for locating blood vessels are described in the present disclosure. One of the implementations of a blood vessel locating system comprises an image capture device and processing circuitry. The image capture device is configured to capture a first image of a region of the skin of a subject when the region is illuminated by a first light and to capture a second image of the region of the skin when the region is illuminated by a second light. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate the difference between the first image and the second image to obtain a differential image. The processing circuitry is further configured to enhance the differential image to obtain an enhanced image of blood vessels located under the surface of the skin of the subject.

Systems and methods for locating a blood vessel are described. One described method includes receiving a first temperature measure associated with a first point on a surface of a skin; receiving a second temperature measure associated with a second point on the surface of the skin, and determining a differential between the first temperature measure and the second temperature measure. The method further includes generating an output signal indicating the presence of a blood vessel if the differential exceeds a threshold.

An apparatus includes a cutting tool configured to cut a wound dressing and a tube having a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. The proximal end portion of the tube is operatively coupled to a suction source. The distal end portion of the tube is configured to be positioned relative to the cutting tool such that particulate debris is received in the distal end portion of the tube when the cutting tool cuts the wound dressing and the suction source is operating.

A method and device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing which includes equipped to (a) apply a negative pressure compressible therapeutic dressing about a wound; (b) compress the therapeutic dressing using negative pressure to subject the wound and the therapeutic dressing to a first predetermined pressure which is low enough to provide therapy to the wound and high enough to maintain a seal between the dressing and the wound; and (c) decompress the therapeutic dressing to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first predetermined pressure sufficient to maintain the dressing in a generally sealed contact with the wound while relaxing compression about the wound.
