  • Patent number: 11710246
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of medical procedure using augmented reality for superimposing a patient's medical images (e.g., CT or MRI) over a real-time camera view of the patient. Prior to the medical procedure, the patient's medical images are processed to generate a 3D model that represents a skin contour of the patient's body. The 3D model is further processed to generate a skin marker that comprises only selected portions of the 3D model. At the time of the medical procedure, 3D images of the patient's body are captured using a camera, which are then registered with the skin marker. Then, the patient's medical images can be superimposed over the real-time camera view that is presented to the person performing the medical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20190116465
    Abstract: A location swapping application running on a first client device scans for location information broadcast by other client devices in proximity to the first client device, the first client device having current location information comprising first location coordinates and a first timestamp. The first client device receives shared location information from a second client device, the shared location information comprising second location coordinates and a second timestamp and compares the second timestamp to the first timestamp. If the location swapping application determines that the second timestamp is more recent than the first timestamp, the application updates the current location information to replace the first location coordinates with the second location coordinates.

  • Patent number: 10232222
    Abstract: A kit includes a pair of items of footwear; wherein each item of footwear includes a brace that is arranged to be releasably secured to at least part of a wearer's leg and/or foot; a platform that is operably connected to the brace; and a securing mechanism for releasably securing a balancing member, or a stack of balancing members, underneath the platform. The kit includes balancing members for each item of footwear so that one balancing member can be replaced with another balancing member that has a smaller ground-contacting area, or so that it can have another balancing member with a smaller ground-contacting area stacked underneath it.

  • Patent number: 9867011
    Abstract: A proximity detector miming on a server receives a request from an origin device to identify a proximity history of the origin device with one or more target devices and retrieves context information from the origin device and from the target devices. The proximity detector compares the context information from the origin device to the context information from the target devices that is within a time threshold of the context information from the origin device and generates a list of a subset of the target devices that satisfy a proximity threshold with respect to the origin device based on comparing the context information that is within the time threshold. The proximity detector generates an ordered list of events, each event indicating when a target device satisfies the time threshold and the proximity threshold with respect to the origin device, and provides the ordered list of events to the origin device.

  • Patent number: 9232829
    Abstract: A combination of a ski boot and a training aid (110) attached thereto that is suitable for training a user to focus pressure on the sweet spot of a ski; wherein the training aid (110) comprises a balancing member (122) positioned underneath the ski boot at a location that would be vertically aligned with the sweet spot of a ski if the training aid were fitted to the ski boot; the training aid (110) allowing the user wearing a pair of ski boots, without skis and with a training aid attached to each boot, to pivot about the balancing members (122) until a desired balancing position is reached, whereby pressure is focussed at a spot corresponding to said sweet spot.

  • Patent number: 4911158
    Abstract: A centrally apertured vertically slidable pedestal supports a foldable intraocular lens implant in predetermined orientation. A blade tipped arm, axially oriented with respect to the pedestal, is protrudable from within the pedestal in diametric orientation with the supported intraocular lens implant upon downward movement of the pedestal. By contacting diametrically opposed sides of the intraocular lens implant with the jaws of forceps followed by downward movement of the pedestal to protrude the blade tip of the arm, the intraocular lens implant becomes folded within the grasp of the forceps and ready for implantation.
