US Classification:
604272
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a device and method for treating recurrent corneal erosion. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of contacting an epithelium layer of a cornea with an array of glass micro-rods including a plurality of sharp features having a length that penetrates a Bowman's layer of the eye, wherein the plurality of sharp features of the array of glass micro-rods produces a plurality of punctures in the Bowman's layer of the eye that are of micro-scale or less. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method and device for drug delivery. In one embodiment, the device includes an array of glass micro-rods, wherein at least one glass micro-rod of the array of glass micro-rods includes a sharp feature opposite a base of the array of glass micro-rods, wherein the sharp feature includes a treated surface for delivering a chemical compound to the eye.

Determining Biological Tissue Optical Properties Via Integrating Sphere Spatial Measurements
US Patent:
7869049, Jan 11, 2011
Filed:
May 6, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/436329
Inventors:
Justin S. Baba - Knoxville TN, US
Brian S. Letzen - Coral Springs FL, US
Brian S. Letzen - Coral Springs FL, US
Assignee:
UT-Battelle, LLC - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
G01N 21/47, G01B 9/02
US Classification:
356446, 356451
Abstract:
An optical sample is mounted on a spatial-acquisition apparatus that is placed in or on an enclosure. An incident beam is irradiated on a surface of the sample and the specular reflection is allowed to escape from the enclosure through an opening. The spatial-acquisition apparatus is provided with a light-occluding slider that moves in front of the sample to block portions of diffuse scattering from the sample. As the light-occluding slider moves across the front of the sample, diffuse light scattered into the area of the backside of the light-occluding slider is absorbed by back side surface of the light-occluding slider. By measuring a baseline diffuse reflectance without a light-occluding slider and subtracting measured diffuse reflectance with a light-occluding slider therefrom, diffuse reflectance for the area blocked by the light-occluding slider can be calculated.
Intrinsic Feature-Based Pose Measurement For Imaging Motion Compensation
US Patent:
2012029, Nov 22, 2012
Filed:
May 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/108395
Inventors:
Justin S. Baba - Knoxville TN, US
Assignee:
UT-Battelle, LLC - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
G06K 9/46, H04N 17/00
US Classification:
348187, 382195, 348E17002
Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating motion corrected tomographic images are provided. A method includes obtaining first images of a region of interest (ROI) to be imaged and associated with a first time, where the first images are associated with different positions and orientations with respect to the ROI. The method also includes defining an active region in the each of the first images and selecting intrinsic features in each of the first images based on the active region. Second, identifying a portion of the intrinsic features temporally and spatially matching intrinsic features in corresponding ones of second images of the ROI associated with a second time prior to the first time and computing three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for the portion of the intrinsic features. Finally, the method includes computing a relative pose for the first images based on the 3D coordinates.
Method For Using Polarization Gating To Measure A Scattering Sample
US Patent:
2014004, Feb 13, 2014
Filed:
Aug 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/962826
Inventors:
Justin S. Baba - Knoxville TN, US
Assignee:
UT-Battelle, LLC - Oak Ridge TN
International Classification:
G01N 21/21
US Classification:
356366
Abstract:
Described herein are systems, devices, and methods facilitating optical characterization of scattering samples. A polarized optical beam can be directed to pass through a sample to be tested. The optical beam exiting the sample can then be analyzed to determine its degree of polarization, from which other properties of the sample can be determined. In some cases, an apparatus can include a source of an optical beam, an input polarizer, a sample, an output polarizer, and a photodetector. In some cases, a signal from a photodetector can be processed through attenuation, variable offset, and variable gain.
