Review the patent and write brief summary of the finding
Patent #7,828,438 Method and apparatus for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's using non-invasive eye tomography by Terahertz, provides a proposed method of detection and possible diagnosis for early stage Alzheimer's Disease (AD) through a noninvasive scan of the eye to compare the amyloidal plaque in the eye to a control. The findings of the patent is that the method may prove a viable method of detecting plaque deposits in eyes which have been shown in other research to simultaneously deposit on the lenses of the eyes as well as the key areas of the brain which are affected by Alzheimer's
Review the "claims" and present the details of what the patent claims
The system is novel in that it does not use laser light, but instead claims to use a form of light that is non-damaging and can record layered images of the eye scan and then amalgamate them together to form a complete picture of the plaque deposits in the eyes (terahertz waves). The claims of the patent are that the particular method will provide a three dimensional picture of the lens of the eye, through various terahertz technology scanning recording and refining that will be easily utilized and non-invasive to detect AD in stages early enough to facilitate early stage treatment, the most promising forms of current treatment for the disease. The patent also notes in history that most other forms of detection require surgical intervention and that all other present forms of non-invasive detection only detect late stage abnormalities in the brain.
c. Think of how you would design a similar product without infringing the patent claims
A similar product might be developed that used differing light technologies, i.e. magnetic resonance imaging specific to the fine details of the lenses of the eye. Other forms of light that are recordable might also be tried to develop a similar...

Biomedical Statement of Purpose -- Biomedical The potential for using advanced technologies to treat the most problematic, persistent diseases humans face shows great potential in improving the quality of life globally. This is especially true in nations that have high birth rates and not enough medical facilities for the entire population, as is the case in many nations in Asia. The rapid growth of biomedical engineering and its many facets from clinical
The end result is that biomedical technology is an area of science and research that is of greater benefit to all of mankind, which helps to ease of suffering for human beings worldwide. While many argue that certain advances in biomedical technology verge on the science fiction creation of some human clone cyborg hybrid, this is not an unusual reaction. Great change is always accompanied by fear. Stock has an
