ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,680,945, issued on July 14, was assigned to Trustees of Boston University (Boston).

"Nanosecond-scale photothermal dynamic imaging" was invented by Ji-Xin Cheng (Newton, Mass.), Lu Lan (Allston, Mass.) and Jiaze Yin (Waltham, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods are provided for performing photothermal dynamic imaging. An exemplary method includes: scanning a sample to produce a plurality of raw photothermal dynamic signals; receiving the raw photothermal dynamic signals of the sample; generating a plurality of second signals by matched filtering the raw photothermal dynamic signals to reject non-modulated noise; and ...
