    Abstract: An elongate medical device is adapted to provide adjustable flexibility. The elongate medical device includes an inner coil having one or more inner coil filars extending in a first direction, and an outer coil having one or more outer filars extending in a second direction. A hypotube extends proximally from the inner coil and the outer coil. A cable extends through the inner coil and through the hypotube, where a distal end of the cable, a distal end of the inner coil and a distal end of the outer coil are all secured together at a distal end of the elongate medical device, such that applying a tensile force to the cable, relative to the hypotube, causes the inner coil and outer coil in combination to increase in stiffness.

  • Eye-tracking image viewer for digital pathology
    Patent number: 11747900
    Abstract: Image viewing in digital pathology using eye-tracking. In an embodiment, a position of a user's gaze on a graphical user interface, comprising at least a portion of a digital slide image within a macro view, is repeatedly detected based on an output from an eye-tracking device. After detecting a change of the user's gaze from a first position to a second position on the graphical user interface, a view of the digital slide image within the macro view is automatically panned based on the second position, so as to move a position on the digital slide image that corresponds to the second position on the graphical user interface toward a center of the macro view.
