  • Procedures for vascular occlusion
    Patent number: 10548748
    Abstract: A method of reducing blood flow within an aneurysm includes: injecting a contrast agent into a blood vessel including an aneurysm; expanding a stent, from a delivery device, across the aneurysm; and confirming that a stagnated area forms in the aneurysm. The stagnated area can form a crescent shape, a mushroom shape, a hemispherical shape, and/or a flat side. Upon confirming that the stagnated area forms in the aneurysm, the delivery device can be withdrawn from the blood vessel. The stagnated area can include the contrast agent. If the stagnated area does not form in the aneurysm, a second occluding device may be deployed. After withdrawing the delivery device, substantially all of the aneurysm progressively thromboses.

  • Method and system of real-time analysis and marking of a target surface using a digital camera coupled marking device
    Patent number: 10513400
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and/or a system for real-time analysis and marking of a target surface using a digital camera coupled marking device. In one embodiment, a master controller receives a real-time digital camera signal from the digital camera of a marking device communicatively coupled to the master controller. The master controller analyzes the digital camera signal using an image recognition algorithm, a machine vision algorithm, and a database and archives a visual state and an object design parameter of an object. The master controller compares the visual state of an object with a library of known visual states in the database to extract an associated marking pattern and a desired marking location of the object. The master controller generates and sends a marking command to a pin marker of the marking device. The pin marker engraves the marking pattern onto the object in real time.

  • Binary target acoustic trigger detecton
    Patent number: 10460729
    Abstract: A method for selective transmission of audio data to a speech processing server uses detection of an acoustic trigger in the audio data in determining the data to transmit. Detection of the acoustic trigger makes use of an efficient computation approach that reduces the amount of run-time computation required, or equivalently improves accuracy for a given amount of computation, by using a neural network to determine an indicator of presence of the acoustic trigger. In some example, the neural network combines a “time delay” structure in which intermediate results of computations are reused at various time delays, thereby avoiding computation of computing new results, and decomposition of certain transformations to require fewer arithmetic operations without sacrificing significant performance.
