Publication number: 20240171932Abstract: A handheld electronic device may include a microphone for receiving voice commands, a speaker for providing audio feedback, a display for providing visual output and receiving touch input, and a motion sensor for receiving gesture input. The handheld electronic device may include control circuitry that processes voice commands differently depending on the application running on the handheld electronic device and the icon being displayed on the display. The control circuitry may determine the location of the handheld electronic device and may provide content based on the location. For example, a remote control interface for controlling an external device may be displayed when the handheld electronic device approaches the external device. A head-mounted device may display virtual images based on the location of the handheld electronic device. The virtual images may include a live video feed from a video call, virtual images associated with voice commands, or other virtual images.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Per Haakan Linus Persson, Seung Wook Kim, William D. Lindmeier, Paul G. Puskarich, Peter C. Tsoi

Patent number: 11135028Abstract: A method is provided for making an appendage of a soft surgical tool, including: receiving a set of mechanical constraints for a surgical procedure; calculating a set of articulation states based on the set of mechanical constraints; generating a plurality of print commands for printing an appendage configured to form the set of articulation states based on the calculation; and printing an appendage based on the plurality of print commands. Multiple printed appendages can be formed into an orienting assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: CHILDREN'S NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTERInventors: Peter C. Kim, Justin D. Opfermann, Axel Krieger

Patent number: 10675040Abstract: Described herein are an apparatus and methods for automating subtasks in surgery and interventional medical procedures. The apparatus consists of a robotic positioning platform, an operating system with automation programs, and end-effector tools to carry out a task under supervised autonomy. The operating system executes an automation program, based on one or a fusion of two or more imaging modalities, guides real-time tracking of mobile and deformable targets in unstructured environment while the end-effector tools execute surgical interventional subtasks that require precision, accuracy, maneuverability and repetition. The apparatus and methods make these medical procedures more efficient and effective allowing a wider access and more standardized outcomes and improved safety.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Children's National Medical CenterInventors: Peter C Kim, Axel Krieger, Yonjae Kim, Azad Shademan, Simon Leonard

Patent number: 7617297Abstract: A data processing system for providing archiving of individual mail content while maintaining a single copy mail store can include a mail application enabled to maintain a single copy mail store, a primary data store configured for high data throughput and acting as a single copy mail store for the mail application, and a secondary data store configured for mass storage and having a lower data throughput than the primary data store. The system further can include at least one archive implementation of an archive interface, the archive interface defining an archive task and a restore task. In one aspect of the embodiment, the system can include each of a content table, a content map table and a restore queue. Furthermore, the system can include a map view of archived content for a specified user, the map view providing a user interface for activating the restore task.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Buford L.
