  • Patent number: 11977678
    Abstract: A medical robotic system includes a viewer for displaying an image of a work site, a gaze tracker for tracking a gaze point of a user on the viewer, and a processor. The processor is configured to: draw an area or volume defining shape, overlaid on the image of the work site, in a position determined by the gaze tracker; assign a fixed virtual constraint to the shape and constrain movement of a robotic tool according to the fixed virtual constraint; receive a user selected action command selecting an image of patient anatomy; and superimpose the selected image of the patient anatomy over the image of the work site within the shape. The selected image of the patient anatomy is registered to the image of the work site.

  • Publication number: 20240142371
    Abstract: In one illustrative configuration, an air quality monitoring system may enable wide-scale deployment of multiple air quality monitors with high-confidence and actionable data is provided. Further, the air quality monitoring system may enable identifying a target emission from a plurality of potential sources at a site based on simulating plume models. The simulation of plume models may take into consideration various simulation parameters including wind speed and direction. Further, methods of determining a plume flux of a plume of emissions at a site, and methods of transmitting data from an air quality monitor are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240082108
    Abstract: Prescription medications, especially opioids, are often abused. The present invention provides a pill dispensing device that is designed to reduce misuse, diversion, and pilfering or prescribed opioids or other medications that may require regulated dispensing. The device of the present invention securely holds a repository of pills and dispenses a single pill only after the allotted prescribed time interval and only after verification of the correct user through the biometric ID device. The dispensing device includes a locked tamper-resistant outer housing, a biometric ID device, a display for alerting the user to critical information, (such as time to the next pill and number of pills remaining) and a secure mechanical pill dispensing mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20090183669
    Abstract: A label arrangement is outfitted upon a beverage container. The label arrangement comprises a plurality of dynamic zones, each of which is provided with a select thermochromic ink or paint. Each select thermochromic ink or paint is chosen and arranged within the dynamic zones such that a temperature change through a range will effect a series of successive and sequential color or visual changes in the ink or paint media. In other words, as the beverage container changes temperature, the label arrangement will progress through a series of successive and/or sequential color changes as set apart by zones within the label arrangement to effect a visually dynamic temperature indicator.

  • Patent number: 7047423
    Abstract: The analysis system is a collection, configuration and integration of software programs that reside on multiple interconnected computer platforms. The software, less computer operating systems, is a combination of sensor, analysis, data conversion, and visualization programs. The hardware platforms consist of several different types of interconnected computers, which share the software programs, data files, and visualization programs via a Local Area Network (LAN). This collection and integration of software and the migration to a single computer platform results in an approach to LAN/WAN monitoring in either a passive and/or active mode. The architecture permits digital data input from external sensors for analysis, display and correlation with data and displays derived from four major software concept groups. These are: Virus Computer Code Detection; Analysis of Computer Source and Executable Code; Dynamic Monitoring of Data Communication Networks; 3-D Visualization and Animation of Data.
