Latest Patent Applications

Dvir Yelin's latest patent applications include two notable innovations. The first is titled "System for In Vivo Measurements of Tympanic Membrane Vibration." This system enables noninvasive imaging of the human ear and measures the nanometer-scale motion of the tympanic membrane under various acoustic excitations. It identifies vibration patterns that vary between individuals in response to sound. By combining spectrally encoded imaging with phase-sensitive spectral-domain interferometry, high-resolution imaging of the membrane surface is achieved within a fraction of a second through a handheld imaging probe. The detailed physiological data obtained allows for the measurement of a wide range of clinically relevant parameters for patient diagnosis and provides a new tool for studying middle and inner ear physiology. The second application is "Spectral Imaging Using Single-Axis Spectrally Dispersed Illumination." This technique involves a two-dimensional illumination pattern with spectral dispersion in one axis. It allows for high-speed, high-resolution acquisition of spectral data from specimens that cannot tolerate high illumination intensities or require fast imaging to avoid motion artifacts. The technique has been demonstrated by capturing spectral data cubes of a finger using short exposure durations and a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Conclusion

Dvir Yelin's innovative work in spectral imaging and ear physiology showcases his potential as a leading inventor in these fields. His latest patent applications reflect a commitment to advancing medical technology and improving patient outcomes.
