  • Publication number: 20250120771
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods concerning identifying and classifying target orthopedic joints using one or more deep learning networks and alignment angles, wherein the deep learning networks are configured to identify one or more alignment angles of the identified target orthopedic joint to then classify the target orthopedic joint into one or more classes selected from a set of pre-defined classes. Exemplary systems, apparatuses, and methods may further comprise recommending a type of surgical procedure based on the classification of the identified target orthopedic joint.

  • Patent number: 12033829
    Abstract: An electron beam phase plate is provided where patterned radiation is provided to the phase plate to creates a corresponding electrical pattern, This electrical pattern provides a corresponding patterned modulation of the electron beam. Such modulation can be done in transmission or in reflection. This approach has numerous applications in electron microscopy, such as providing phase and/or amplitude shaping, aberration correction and providing phase contrast.

  • Patent number: 11965780
    Abstract: Improved resolution of a time-varying optical measurement is provided with optical intensity modulator(s) having a bandwidth greater than that of the detector array(s). The modulator configuration can have high photon collection efficiency, e.g. by using polarization modulation to split the incident light into several time-gated channels.

  • Patent number: 11828851
    Abstract: We provide a wide-field time-resolved imaging apparatus using resonant drive. We also identify ideal configurations of electro-optic (EO) modulator crystals for wide-field imaging. These techniques enable compact and low-cost LIDAR imaging devices. Resonant drive affords modulation of various EO modulators at high voltage by means of resonant voltage enhancement. Further, it enables operation of imaging modulators at high frequencies which would otherwise not be possible with conventional pulsed drivers—this leads to improved LIDAR accuracy and dynamic range. Resonant drive uniquely enables Pockels cell LIDAR beyond normal flash mode by allowing for multiple pulses or multiple cycles of amplitude modulated illumination to be present simultaneously in a scene. This corresponds to illumination and modulation waveforms having a defined phase relationship where time-of-flight is encoded in the phase of the returning light waveform.
