  • Software for Use With Deformity Correction
    Publication number: 20210077149
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to software used in planning the correction of bone deformities preoperatively or postoperatively, and in particular relates to virtually manipulating rings and struts of an external fixation frame in order to plan the steps for making a desired correction to two or more bone portions of a patient. The software can be used prior to surgery, allowing a user to virtually define a bone deformity, and virtually add and manipulate fixation rings and struts to the bone deformity. Based on the virtual manipulations, a correction plan can be generated that describes length adjustments that should be made to the plurality of model struts over a period of time to correct the bone deformity. The software can also be used after surgical fixation of the fixation frame and struts to the deformed bone.

  • Blocking plate structure for improved acoustic transmission efficiency
    Patent number: 10911861
    Abstract: An acoustic matching structure is used to increase the power radiated from a transducing element with a higher impedance into a surrounding acoustic medium with a lower acoustic impedance. The acoustic matching structure consists of a thin, substantially planar cavity bounded by a two end walls and a side wall. The end walls of the cavity are formed by a blocking plate wall and a transducing element wall separated by a short distance (less than one quarter of the wavelength of acoustic waves in the surrounding medium at the operating frequency). The end walls and side wall bound a cavity with diameter approximately equal to half of the wavelength of acoustic waves in the surrounding medium. In operation, a transducing element generates acoustic oscillations in the fluid in the cavity.

  • BINARY STATIC ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION STRUCTURE TO IDENTIFY VULNERABILITIES
    Publication number: 20200410107
    Abstract: Described are methods and devices to identify vulnerabilities in a software package that includes two or more build files. The build files include at least an application file and one or more resource files. The method includes scanning the build files to identify strings. Strings that appear in one of the resource files and are not referenced in the application file are labelled orphaned. Strings that appear in the application file and are node defined in any of the resources files are labelled hardcoded. The identity of hardcoded and orphaned strings is output as potential vulnerabilities or data leakage points.
