Method and Apparatus for Automatic Monitoring, Tracking and Cataloging of Behaving Animals in Home Cages

Unmet NeedIn neurobehavioral analysis, many test mechanisms have been developed to allow for accurate assessment. Monitoring mouse social behaviors is one of the more important neurobehavioral analyses. However, classical behavioral testing of disease models is time-consuming and labor intensive while also being vulnerable to human handling error. There...

Catheter Ultrasound Transmission Element (CUTE) Catheter

Unmet NeedApproximately 48.5 million couples are infertile worldwide. In the US, more than one million couples seek infertility treatment each year, and spend more than $3 billion in pursuit of babies. Unfortunately, current infertility treatments, including artificial insemination and embryo transfer approaches, can’t offer both an effective and economic...

Active Echo Fishing Lure

More and more fishing hobbyists use boat sonar to detect fishes and underwater structure. These sonars operate on the same principle as medical ultrasonography systems. They fire ultrasound pulses and receive the echo signal. Based on the signal time-of-flight (TOF) and phase, the image is reconstructed. These sonars work at a frequency between 100k...
