  • Patent number: 10912449
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an augmented reality surgical system. The system includes an endoscope that captures an image of the region of interest of a patient and an ECG device that records an ECG of the patient. A controller receives the image and applies at least one image processing filter to the image. The image processing filter includes a decomposition filter that decomposes the image into frequency bands. A temporal filter is applied to the frequency bands to generate temporally filtered bands. An adder adds each band frequency band to a corresponding temporally filtered band to generate augmented bands. A reconstruction filter generates an augmented image by collapsing the augmented bands. The controller also receives the ECG and processes the augmented image with the ECG to generate an ECG filtered augmented image. A display displays the ECG filtered augmented image to a user.

  • Patent number: 10908619
    Abstract: A self-localizing apparatus uses timestampable signals transmitted by transceivers that are a part of a distributed localization system to compute its position relative to the transceivers. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are arranged for highly accurate timestamping using digital and analog reception and transmission electronics as well as one or more highly accurate clocks, compensation units, localization units, position calibration units, scheduling units, or synchronization units. Transceivers and self-localizing apparatuses are further arranged to allow full scalability in the number of self-localizing apparatuses and to allow robust self-localization with latencies and update rates useful for high performance applications such as autonomous mobile robot control.

  • Patent number: 10880726
    Abstract: The present invention faces the issue of improving isolation of network slices in network slicing deployments where a centralized User Data Management, which includes subscription information for all users in a network with a plurality of network slices, is shared by the plurality of network slices. To solve this issue, the present invention provides for a distributed slice data repository for handling slice selection data for users equipped with a user equipment, UE, in a network that includes a plurality of network slices. This distributed slice data repository has: a slice user data repository, SDR, per network slice basis and including subscription information for each UE to be served by the network slice, and a slice selection repository, SSR, which is external to any network slice, shared by the plurality of network slices, and only includes slice selection data for every UE in the network.
