  • Publication number: 20200294232
    Abstract: A system for creating decision support material indicating damage to an anatomical joint of a patient. The system is configured to: i) receive a series of radiology images of at least a part of the anatomical joint; ii) obtain a three-dimensional image representation of the at least part of the anatomical joint; iii) identify tissue parts of the anatomical joint using image analysis; iv) determine damage to the anatomical joint by analyzing said image representation; v) mark damage to the anatomical joint in the obtained three-dimensional image representation; and vi) generate decision support material. The analysis comprises: detecting an irregular shape of a contour of a tissue part; and/or detecting that the intensity in an area within or adjacent to bone and/or cartilage parts differs from a predetermined value; and/or comparing at least one identified tissue part with a template representing a predefined damage pattern for an anatomical joint.

  • Patent number: 10746325
    Abstract: Insert half for sealing around a cable, pipe or wire. The insert half includes a body with a first and a second end, a first side intended to be arranged towards a corresponding first side of a substantially identical insert half, and a groove arranged in the first side and extending between the first and second end along an axis A. A number of recesses extending transverse to axis A are formed in the groove along axis A. At least one insert is removably arranged within the groove. The insert is formed by at least two elements bonded to each other and arranged side by side along axis A. The insert has an outside shape corresponding to the shape of the groove and the recesses such that the insert could be arranged anywhere along the groove. Each element includes a semi-circular passage with different radius co-axial to axis A.

  • Patent number: 10480948
    Abstract: A method performed by a boundary estimation system for estimating a boundary of a road on which a vehicle is positioned and which comprises at least a first lane marking. The system monitors surroundings of the vehicle, detects one or more positions of the at least first lane marking, and approximates a geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking based on one or more of the detected positions of the at least first lane marking. The system further detects one or more positions of a road boundary of the road, approximates a relative lateral offset between the geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking and the detected road boundary, and defines a fictive outer boundary of at least a section of the road based on laterally shifting at least a section of the geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking the relative lateral offset.
