  • Patent number: 10412594
    Abstract: A telecommunication network planning method, system, and computer readable medium support accessing point cloud data and a corresponding image of a location. The point cloud data indicates positions of physical objects visible in the image. A network planning function may be performed. The network planning function may include modifying an outside plant asset object visible in the image, obtaining a metric of an outside plant asset object visible in the image, and adding a virtual outside plant asset to a location. The point cloud data may be associated with the image within an interface that depicts the image to facilitate visualization of the outside plant assets in the surrounding environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080015435
    Abstract: A system for the destruction of adipose tissue utilizing high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) within a patient's body. The system comprises a controller for data storage and the operation and control of a plurality of elements. One elements is a means for mapping a human body to establish three dimensional coordinate position data for existing adipose tissue. The controller is able to identify the plurality of adipose tissue locations on said human body and establish a protocol for the destruction of the adipose tissue. A HIFU transducer assembly having one or more piezoelectric element(s) is used along with at least one sensor wherein the sensor provides feed back information to the controller for the safe operation of the piezoelectric element(s). The sensor is electronically coupled to the controller, and the controller provides essential treatment command information to one or more piezoelectric element(s) based on positioning information obtained from the three dimensional coordinate position data.
