Patent number: 11986240Abstract: A system for guiding an ophthalmic procedure is disclosed. The system includes a housing assembly with a head unit configured to be at least partially directed towards a target site in an eye. An optical coherence tomography (OCT) module and stereoscopic visualization camera are at least partially located in the head unit and configured to obtain a first set and a second set of volumetric data, respectively. A controller is configured to register the first set and second set of volumetric data to create a third set of registered volumetric data. The third set and second set of registered volumetric data are rendered, via a volumetric render module, to a first and second region. The first region and the second region are overlaid to obtain a shared composite view of the target site. The controller is configured to extract structural features and/or enable visualization of the target site.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Alcon Inc.Inventors: Ashok Burton Tripathi, George Charles Polchin, Maximiliano Ramirez Luna, Patrick Terry, Thomas Paul Riederer

Publication number: 20170236299Abstract: A hand-held mobile 3D scanner (10) for scanning a scene. The scanner (10) comprises a range sensor (11) that is arranged to sense the location of surface points in the scene relative to the scanner (10) and generate representative location information, a texture sensor (12) that is arranged to sense the texture of each surface point in the scan of the scene and generate representative texture information, and a position and orientation sensor (13) that is arranged to sense the position and orientation of the scanner (10) during the scan of the scene and generate representative position and orientation information. A control system (14) is also provided that is arranged to receive the information from each of the sensors and generate data representing the scan of the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Robert Jan Valkenburg, David William Penman, Johann August Schoonees, Nawar Sami Alwesh, George Terry Palmer

Publication number: 20160286713Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for travelling over a ground surface, the apparatus including detection means for detecting an area of the ground surface (or sub-ground surface) which has had a deposition of excreta, and treatment means for treating the area with at least one substance. The apparatus may preferably be automated. In a preferred embodiment, the excreta being detected may be cattle urine and the substance(s) used to treat the area of deposition of urine may be a nitrate inhibitor and/or a urease inhibitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2014Publication date: October 6, 2016Applicant: PASTORAL ROBOTICS LIMITEDInventors: Geoffrey James BATES, Bertram Francis Charles QUIN, George Terry PALMER, Raymond Andrew SIMPKIN

Publication number: 20050123118Abstract: Responding to a telephone call made by a calling party includes receiving a first telephone call and identifying an account associated with the telephone number to which the first calling party directed the first telephone call. Configuration data related to the account is accessed. A first identity associated with the account is identified based on the configuration data accessed. A first electronic communication is sent to a computer of a first called party associated with the first identity. The first called party may respond to the first electronic communication by dynamically and manually inputting a call redirection telephone number, sending an e-mail, or sending an instant message. If a call redirection telephone number is inputted, the first telephone call may be redirected to the call redirection telephone number.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: George Terry, Bradford Spencer, David Trueman

Patent number: 5908521Abstract: The apparatus includes a two-stage mixer formed within a single housing and including a first high shear mixer and a second low shear mixer. Plaster slurry is formed in the first mixer. A partition is laid on a first fixing sheet, a portion laid on a second fixing sheet, and the remainder discharged to the second mixer. In the second mixer, foam is added and the formed slurry is laid on the unformed slurry on the first fixing sheet. The unformed slurry in the second fixing sheet is brought to the formed slurry to join the product.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: June 1, 1999Assignee: BPB Industries Public Limited CompanyInventors: John Ainsley, John James Bradshaw, Arthur George Terry Ward
