Publication number: 20240148438Abstract: A system for surgical planning and assessment of spinal deformity correction is provided that has a spinal imaging system and a control unit. The spinal imaging system is configured to collect at least one digitized position of one or more vertebral bodies of a subject. The control unit is configured to receive the at least one digitized position, and calculate, based on the at least one digitized position, an optimized posture for the subject. The control unit is configured to receive one or more simulated spinal correction inputs, and based on the inputs and optimized posture, predict an optimal simulated postoperative surgical correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Alex Turner, Jeffrey Harris

Publication number: 20240125421Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter generally relates to recyclable insulation material for shipping containers, groceries bags, etc., machines for making the recyclable insulation material, and methods for the making the recyclable insulation material. In one aspect, a method of forming an insulation product may include forming a continuous sheet of paper into a plurality of flexible loops defining a plurality of air channels extending in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with a machine direction of the continuous sheet of paper. The method may also include immediately attaching a first layer of paper and a second layer of paper to the plurality of flexible loops as they are formed so that the continuous sheet of paper retains the plurality of flexible loops between the first layer and the second layer and that the plurality of flexible loops remain unattached with respect to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James McGoff, Alex Dimen, Daniel Shores, Caleb Meindertsma, Justin Turner-Gonzalez, Charles-Alexandre Archambault Vincent

Publication number: 20240117802Abstract: Devices and methods for operating a diaphragm compressor. Embodiments of the present disclosure comprise an oil piston being driven to pressurize work oil against the diaphragm of the compressor. In embodiments, an injection pump provides a supplemental flow of work oil in the region of pressurized fluid, and such pump may be part of an actively controlled system. In embodiments, a pressure relief valve vents an overpump flow of work oil, and such valve may be variable. Embodiments provide feedback and control mechanisms, including control of the injection pump and the relief valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2021Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Guy Babbitt, Chris Turner, Bryce Whitehill, Michael Sprengel, Noah Schaich, Kyle Palmiscno, Alex Beckerman, Kareem Afzal, Carl T.
