A method of monitoring a subject for medical conditions includes causing light to impinge on at least one eye of the subject, directing reflected light from such light beam to photosensors, converting the received reflected light to corresponding electrical signals which are delivered to a processor. Processing the signals by effecting a comparison between stored information regarding the medical condition and the data provided by the monitoring to determine if an undesired medical condition exists and, if so, communicating such result. The cycle is repeated at predetermined intervals which may be short or prolonged. The method may be employed for a wide variety of medical conditions and preferably is employed with frequent cyclic monitoring for conditions such as miosis, carbon monoxide poisoning, and blood flow related conditions. A related apparatus is provided.

Non-invasive ocular dynamic monitoring assessment method and associated apparatus

An antenna is disclosed that has windings that are contrawound in segments on a toroid form and that have opposed currents on selected segments. An antenna is disclosed that has one or more insulated conductor circuits with windings that are contrawound around and over a surface, such as a spherical surface, a generally spherical surface, a multiply connected surface, a toroidal surface, or a hemispherical surface. The insulated conductor circuits may form one or more endless conductive paths around and over the surface. The windings may have a helical pattern, a generally helical pattern, a partially helical pattern, a poloidal peripheral pattern or may be constructed from a slotted conductor on the toroid. Poloidal loop winds are disclosed with a toroid hub on a toroid that has two plates that provides a capacitive feed to the loops, which are selectively connected to one of the plates.

Contrawound antenna

A method for measuring color of objects comprises storing in a computer memory values representative of measurements of the color of an object over a range of angular positions with respect to a photosensor, selecting a measurement area of the object, determining a geometrical structure of the measurement area, and adjusting the measured color in response to the stored values. An associated apparatus is also provided.
