  • Patent number: 12251325
    Abstract: An adjustable trial spacer system used in spinal surgeries. This system addresses the inefficiencies of traditional trial sizers by introducing a trial base that can be combined with disposable trial caps of varying sizes. The trial base is designed to securely attach to a trial inserter, while the trial caps temporarily enclose the trial base to simulate the final implant. The system's modularity reduces the need for multiple spacer bodies, lowers costs, and improves logistical management in the operating room. Various attachment mechanisms ensure secure fitting during surgical procedures, enhancing precision in determining the appropriate implant size.

  • Patent number: 12254717
    Abstract: An interactive portrait system includes a camera configured to capture imagery of an environment and a controller. The controller is configured to analyze the imagery to identify a guest in the environment, instruct an output device to provide an initial output to attempt to interact with the guest, and analyze the imagery to identify a behavior of the guest during the initial output, after the initial output, or both. The controller is also configured to evaluate the behavior of the guest using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms to determine whether the guest responded to the initial output. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the guest responded to the initial output, instruct the output device to provide an additional output to continue to attempt to interact with the guest.
