  • Publication number: 20220406829
    Abstract: An integrated sensor includes a substrate made of a first semiconductor material having a first optical refractive index. The substrate includes a pixel array, wherein each pixel has a photosensitive active zone formed by an index contrast zone including a matrix of the first semiconductor material and a periodic structure embedded in the matrix. The periodic structure extends from the backside of the substrate and has a two-dimensional periodicity in a parallel plane with the backside. A value of the periodicity is linked with the wavelength of the optical signal and with the first refractive index. Elements of the periodic structure are formed of a second optically transparent material having a second refractive index less than the first refractive index. These elements are positioned at locations defined by the periodicity except for at one location defining a region, preferably central, that is devoid of a corresponding one of the elements.

  • Patent number: 11529134
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for a syndesmosis treatment construct configured to be placed into a cinched configuration that presses a first bone against a second bone. The syndesmosis treatment construct comprises a proximal fixator to contact the first bone and a distal fixator to contact the second bone. A first suture and a second suture are parallelly looped through the distal fixator. A free splice slidably rides on proximal ends and distal ends of both of the first and second sutures. The distal ends are looped through the proximal fixator and bound within a stitch splice. The proximal ends are passed outside of the stitch splice and through the proximal fixator. The free splices compress and seize the proximal ends during pulling of the proximal ends by a practitioner so as to maintain the cinched configuration.

  • Patent number: 11527105
    Abstract: A system and method for performing distributed facial recognition divides processing steps between a user engagement device/robot, having lower processing power, and a remotely located server, having significantly more processing power. Images captured by the user engagement device/robot are processed at the device/robot by applying a first set of image processing steps that includes applying a first face detection. First processed images having at least one detected face is transmitted to the server, whereat a second set of image processing steps are applied to determine a stored user facial image matching the detected face of the first processed image. At least one user property associated to the given matching user facial image is then transmitted to the user engagement device/robot. An interactive action personalized to the user can further be performed at the user engagement device/robot.
