  • Laser enhanced reconstruction of 3D surface
    Patent number: 11022433
    Abstract: A method for reconstructing a surface of a three-dimensional object involves a projection of a laser spot pattern onto the surface of the three-dimensional object by a laser, and a generation of a series of endoscopic images as an endoscope is translated and/or rotated relative to the three-dimensional object. Each endoscopic image illustrates a different view of a laser spot array within the laser spot pattern as projected onto the surface of the three-dimensional object by the laser. The laser spot array may be identical to or a subset of the laser spot pattern. The method further involves a reconstruction of the surface of the three-dimensional object from a correspondence of the different views of the laser spot array as illustrated in the endoscopic images.

  • System and method for accurately determining and marking skin incision lines for surgical intervention
    Patent number: 11020184
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of calculating a surgical intervention plan. Based on surface data of the patient, a surface representation of a part of the patient's body is created. From a database, a plurality of surgical methods may be selected and the geometrical parameters of a surgical plan can be adapted based on each individual surgical method. Therefore, the surgeon may easily select, which of the surgical method is appropriate for the planned surgical intervention. Furthermore, the surgical intervention plan which has been adapted according to the finally selected surgical method may then be projected onto the skin of the patient such that a drawing of the incision lines is facilitated. Furthermore, the use of a remotely activatable pen based on the current position of the pen and based on the finally selected surgical plan is presented.

  • Spectral doppler processing with adaptive sample window size
    Patent number: 11020085
    Abstract: A spectral Doppler processor for an ultrasound system produces blood flow velocity estimates by processing a sequence of complex blood flow echo samples with an FFT algorithm. The FFT algorithm is executed with a long window of samples to produce velocity estimates with good velocity precision and is executed with a short window of samples to produce velocity estimates with good time precision. The long window algorithm is used when blood flow velocity is not changing rapidly, and the short window algorithm is used when blood flow velocity is changing rapidly.

  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF TYPE 1 DIABETES
    Publication number: 20210154247
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in mammalian subjects. The compositions include lactic acid fermenting bacteria (LAB) expressing an IL-2 gene and a TID-specific self-antigen (e.g., proinsulin (PINS)) gene. Exemplary methods include: orally administering to a mammalian subject, a therapeutically effective amount of the composition. The composition can be administered to the subject mucosally, resulting in delivery of the LAB into the gastrointestinal tract, where the LAB is released. Bioactive polypeptides expressed by the LAB are thus administered via mucosal delivery. The LAB may be selected to deliver a low-dose of IL-2 to the subject. The methods may not require concomitant systemic anti-CD3 antibody treatment. The methods may be suited for subjects possessing residual beta-cell function, e.g., those with recent-onset T1D.
