  • Patent number: 11998282
    Abstract: A medical imaging system comprises a teleoperated assembly including a medical instrument, a first imaging instrument, a second imaging instrument, a tracking fixture, and a processor. The first imaging instrument generates a first image of a field of view of the first imaging instrument and the second imaging instrument generates a second image. The tracking fixture is engageable along at least a portion of the second imaging instrument. The tracking fixture includes one or more features. The medical instrument is attachable to an attachment feature of the tracking fixture to maintain a known configuration of the medical instrument relative to the second imaging instrument. The processor is configured to determine a pose of the tracking fixture based on the one or more features of the tracking fixture and the first image.

  • Publication number: 20240176138
    Abstract: A laminate including: a first ply having a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface is an outer surface of the laminate; a second ply having a third surface facing the second surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface, where the fourth surface is an inner surface of the laminate; an interlayer between the plies; and an enhanced p-polarized reflective coating positioned over at least a portion of a surface of the plies. When the laminate is contacted with radiation having p-polarized radiation at an angle of 60° relative to normal of the laminate, the laminate exhibits a LTA of at least 70% and a reflectivity of the p-polarized radiation of at least 10%. A display system and method of projecting an image in a heads-up display is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240140860
    Abstract: A method of tinting or coloring glass. The following layers are deposited onto the glass: a first dielectric layer, a subcritical metallic layer; a primer layer; and a second dielectric layer. Alternatively, these layers may be deposited onto the glass: a first dielectric layer, a subcritical metallic layer; and a second dielectric layer. Alternatively, the invention is a coated article that includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, an absorbing layer, and a second dielectric layer over the primer layer. The absorbing layer can be Inconel, titanium nitride, cobalt chrome (stellite), or nickel chrome material, and has a thickness in the range of 50 ? to 150 ?.

  • Patent number: 11945682
    Abstract: A lanyard having a locking mechanism is provided. The lanyard locking mechanism actuates between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the lanyard spool is restricted from rotating, and in the unlocked position, the lanyard spool is permitted to rotate with reduced interference from the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes biasing components that bias the locking mechanism to remain stationary unless sufficient force is exerted.

  • Patent number: 7879267
    Abstract: A method for coating hydrogel and silicone hydrogel articles, and articles made by the method, are provided in which the coating is first applied to the molding surface in which an article-forming material will be cured to form the article. The method permits the thickness and uniformity of the coating to be more easily controlled than in known coating methods.
