Atomic Magnetometer Sensor Array Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems And Methods

US Patent:
2009014, Jun 11, 2009
Filed:
Nov 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/265785
Inventors:
Frank M. Skidmore - Gainesville FL, US
Mark Davidson - Florahome FL, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/055
US Classification:
600421
Abstract:
Devices disclosed according to various embodiments use one or more arrays of atomic magnetometers to directly detection of relaxation of magnetic field induced subatomic precession within a target specimen. The disclosed devices and methods relate to application of utilization of a magnetic sensor with unique properties requiring changes in design, allowing new functions, and requiring alternative analysis methodologies. Various embodiments are also directed to methods for obtaining and processing magnetic signals. These methods may take advantage of the unique spatial arrangement of the atomic magnetometers and the capacity sensors to be used in either a scalar or a vector mode. Various embodiments have advantages over current techniques utilized for imaging of anatomical and non-anatomical structures. Such advantages may include, for example: development of a wearable, portable array, lower power consumption, potential wafer-level fabrication, the potential for development of a more rapid signal, decreased need for development of strong magnetic fields, and lower cost allowing wider availability.

Atomic Magnetometer Sensor Array Magnetoencephalogram Systems And Methods

US Patent:
2010021, Sep 2, 2010
Filed:
Apr 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/532637
Inventors:
Frank M. Skidmore - Gainesville FL, US
James C. Sackellares - Gainesville FL, US
Mark Davidson - Florahome FL, US
Bernard F. Whiting - Gainesville FL, US
Panos M. Pardalos - Gainesville FL, US
Assignee:
UNIVERSITY OF FLOARIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
G01R 33/02
US Classification:
324247
Abstract:
Devices disclosed according to various embodiments use one or more arrays of atomic magnetometers to detect biologically derived magnetic fields. The disclosed devices and methods relate to application of utilization of a magnetic sensor with unique properties requiring changes in design, allowing new functions, and requiring alternative analysis methodologies. Various embodiments are also directed to methods for obtaining and processing biological magnetic signals. These methods may take advantage of the unique spatial arrangement of the atomic magnetometers and the capacity sensors to he used in either a scalar or a vector mode. Various embodiments have advantages over current magnetometer arrays for the purpose of detecting biological magnetic fields. Such advantages may include, for example: smaller size, lower power consumption, no necessity for cryogenic cooling, potential wafer-level fabrication, and/or the potential of better localization biological signals. In addition, various embodiments may allow increased target or subject mobility.

Portable Touchless Vital Sign Acquisition Device

US Patent:
2012014, Jun 7, 2012
Filed:
Jan 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/145279
Inventors:
Frank M. Skidmore - Gainesville FL, US
Mark Davidson - Florahome FL, US
Russell S. Donda - Gainesville FL, US
International Classification:
A61B 7/04, A61B 5/01, A61B 5/02, A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600301, 600549, 600586, 600528
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a non-contact MCG is anticipated as one embodiment. Additionally, a non-contact stethoscope, thermal sensor, or MCG could be utilized singly or in combination with each other, or included singly or together in other medical devices such as a fluoroscope, For example, a handheld, portable instrument comprising a non-contact stethoscope without a magnetometer or thermal sensor can provide a measure of acoustic signals without contacting a subject, while a non-contact thermal sensor as a single device can provide a rapid contactless temperature of a subject
