Method And Apparatus For Determining Fat Content Of Tissue

View page

US Patent:

62859048, Sep 4, 2001

Filed:

Mar 27, 2000

Appl. No.:

9/536280

Inventors:

Thomas M. Weber - Albuquerque NM
Barry L. Spletzer - Albuquerque NM
Jon R. Bryan - Edgewood NM
Fred M. Dickey - Albuquerque NM
Richard N. Shagam - Albuquerque NM
Luc Gooris - Rancho Santa Margarita CA

Assignee:

Sandia Corporation - Albuquerque NM

International Classification:

A61B 600

US Classification:

600473

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining characteristics of tissue is disclosed. The method comprises supplying optical energy to a tissue and detecting at a plurality of locations consequent energy scattered by the tissue. Analysis of the scattered energy as taught herein provides information concerning the properties of the tissue, specifically information related to the fat and lean content and thickness of the tissue. The apparatus comprises a light source adapted to deliver optical energy to a tissue. A plurality of detectors can be mounted at different positions relative to the source to detect energy scattered by the tissue. A signal processor as taught herein can determine characteristics of the tissue from the signals from the detectors and locations of the detectors, specifically information related to the fat and lean content and thickness of the tissue.

Light Distribution Plate For Uniform Irradiance Of Compact Photovoltaic Arrays

View page

US Patent:

20200161492, May 21, 2020

Filed:

Nov 18, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/686541

Inventors:

- Albuquerque NM, US
Junoh Choi - Albuquerque NM, US
Erik J. Skogen - Tijeras NM, US
Richard N. Shagam - Albuquerque NM, US

International Classification:

H01L 31/054
F21V 8/00

Abstract:

A light distribution plate can be edge-illuminated by fiber optic light sources. The input-coupled travels in the plate by total internal reflection and is scattered out of the top surface of the plate by micro-optical structures on the bottom surface. The light distribution plate can provide uniform irradiation of, for example, compact photovoltaic arrays on the top surface.
