Patent number: 11980255Abstract: A cleat assembly for a shoe comprising an anchor for anchoring to the shoe, a cleat, a first biasing member circumscribing the anchor and engaged with the cleat, and a second biasing member biasing the first biasing member. The second biasing member can directly engage the first biasing member or a bushing that circumscribes the anchor. So constructed, the cleat assembly provides multiple degrees of freedom. That is, the cleat assembly provides effective axial shock absorbance coupled with 360° tilting of the cleat for enhancing a user's ability to suddenly change direction when wearing a shoe equipped with the cleat assembly, thereby minimizing stress and impact on muscles, joints and ligaments and enhancing the performance of athletes wearing such shoes.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, maintaining the Hospital for Special SurgeryInventors: Hernan Sanchez, Laurence Piturro, Bo Li, Howard Hillstom, Andrew Kraszewski, Mark Drakos

Patent number: 11969265Abstract: Systems and methods for training and implementing a machine learning algorithm to generate feature maps depicting spatial patterns of features associated with osteolysis, synovitis, or both. MRI data, including multispectral imaging data, are input to the trained machine learning algorithm to generate the feature maps, which may indicate features such as a location and probability of a pathology classification, a severity of synovitis, a type of synovitis, a synovial membrane thickness, and other features associated with osteolysis or synovitis. In some implementations, synovial anatomy are segmented in the MRI data before inputting the MRI data to the machine learning algorithm. These segmented MRI data may be generated using another trained machine learning algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignees: The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, Maintaining the Hospital for Special SurgeryInventors: Kevin M.
