Patent number: 11996191Abstract: A system includes a remote control device configured to remotely control a device and a safety control device communicating with each other via a wireless connection. The remote control device includes a switch, a motion enable unit configured to generate processed information by processing information using a first secret, and a hand control unit capable of acquiring the processed information only when the switch is in a closed state and configured to transmit the processed information to the safety control device via the wireless connection. The safety control device includes a communication unit configured to receive the processed information via the wireless connection and a safety control unit configured to verify the closed state of the switch by processing the processed information using a second secret that matches the first secret and enable control of the device when the closed state of the switch is verified.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Johannes Stahl, Walter Aguilar

Publication number: 20240165428Abstract: A radiation treatment system may include a gantry configured to rotate around an object, a treatment head moving with the gantry, a plurality of imaging radiation sources configured to emit imaging beams toward the object, and one or more first detectors configured to detect at least a portion of the imaging beams. When the treatment head is delivering a treatment beam to the object, the plurality of imaging radiation sources and the one or more first detectors may be positioned outside at least a portion of a maximum treatment radiation region so as not to interfere with the treatment beam. At least one of the plurality of imaging radiation sources and the one or more first detectors may be positioned at or near an edge of the maximum treatment radiation region.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Jonathan MALTZ, Johannes STAHL, Supratik BOSE, Walter AGUILAR

Patent number: 11058896Abstract: A radiation treatment device may include a first dosimeter and a second dosimeter. Quantum efficiency of the first dosimeter may be lower than quantum efficiency of the second dosimeter. A method for monitoring beam energy may include receiving a first signal generated by a first dosimeter, receiving a second signal generated by a second dosimeter, receiving a third signal generated by the first dosimeter and receiving a fourth signal generated by the second dosimeter. The first signal and the second signal may be associated with a first radiation beam. The second signal and the fourth signal may be associated with a second radiation beam. The method may also include determining whether there is a difference between the beam energy of the first radiation beam and the second radiation beam based on at least one of the first signal, the second signal, the third signal or the fourth signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Jonathan Maltz, Walter Aguilar
