Publication number: 20240167524Abstract: A medical system includes a head having an end arranged to face a reference plane and a multistage slide mechanism coupled with the head. The multistage slide mechanism includes a coarse-float mechanism configured to enable movement of the head relative to the reference plane, and to prevent movement of the head toward the reference plane while allowing movement of the head away from the reference plane. A one-way brake associated with the coarse-float mechanism is configured to transition between a locked state and an unlocked state in response to a presence of or an absence of a first triggering event. In the locked state, the one-way brake prevents movement of the head toward the reference plane and simultaneously allows movement of the head away from the reference plane. In the unlocked state, the one-way brake allows movement of the head toward the reference plane and movement of the head away from the reference plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Guy Holland, Ryan Johnson, Virginia Lin, Wesley W. Lummis, Scott D. Paterson, Ferenc Raksi, Nathan Sangalang

Patent number: 11969286Abstract: A system for visualization and quantification of ultrasound imaging data according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a display unit, and a processor communicatively coupled to the display unit and to an ultrasound imaging apparatus for generating an image from ultrasound data representative of a bodily structure and fluid flowing within the bodily structure. The processor may be configured to estimate axial and lateral velocity components of the fluid flowing within the bodily structure, determine a plurality of flow directions within the image based on the axial and lateral velocity components, differentially encode the flow directions based on flow direction angle to generate a flow direction map, and cause the display unit to concurrently display the image including the bodily structure overlaid with the flow direction map.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Hua Xie, Shiying Wang, Sheng-Wen Huang, Francois Guy Gerard Marie Vignon, Keith William Johnson, Liang Zhang, David Hope Simpson
