Publication number: 20250246291Abstract: A surgical exercise performed with a surgical robotic system is sensed by depth cameras, generating 3D point cloud data. Robot system data associated with the surgical robotic system is logged. Object recognition is performed on image data produced by the one or more depth cameras, to recognized objects, including surgical equipment and people, in the operating room (OR). The surgical exercise is digitized by storing the 3D point cloud data of unrecognized objects, a position and orientation associated with the recognized objects, and c) the robot system data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2025Publication date: July 31, 2025Inventors: Blade A. Olson, Bernhard A. Fuerst, Alexander Barthel, Yiming Xu, Giacomo Taylor, Tianyu Song

Publication number: 20250127588Abstract: A medical image viewer can render to a display, a three-dimensional view of patient anatomy, a multi planar reconstruction (MPR) view of the patient anatomy, and an intra-operational view. Some of the views can be synchronized to show a common focal point of the anatomy. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Inventors: Bernhard A. Fuerst, Alexander Barthel, Eric M. Johnson, Risto Kojcev

Publication number: 20240366305Abstract: A system includes a display, and a processor. The processor may be configured to obtain a three-dimensional model of a patient including one or more blood vessels and a mass that is marked for removal, determine a position of each of one or more surgical clips within the three-dimensional model, where blood flow is restricted from a region of the three-dimensional model based on the one or more blood vessels of the three-dimensional model and the position of each of the one or more surgical clips, and present, to the display, the three-dimensional model of the patient including a visual indication of the region and the mass.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Alexander BARTHEL, Ashwath Narayan MURALI, Bernhard FUERST, Risto KOJCEV, Kristina YEVSEYEVA

Patent number: 11534246Abstract: User input devices (UIDs) for controlling a surgical robotic system are described. A UID can include one or more tracking sensors to generate respective spatial state signals in accordance with a pose of the UID. At least one of the tracking sensors can be a camera. In the case of multiple tracking sensors, the spatial state signals are processed by a sensor fusion algorithm to generate a more robust, single tracking signal and a quality measure. The tracking signal and the quality measure are then used by a digital control system to control motion of a surgical robotic system actuator that is associated with the UID. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: VERB SURGICAL INC.Inventors: Bernhard Adolf Fuerst, Pablo E. Garcia Kilroy, Berk Gonenc, Jose Luis Cordoba, Joan Savall, Alexander Barthel

Publication number: 20210259779Abstract: Surgical robotic system includes a surgical robotic arm, a handheld user interface device (UID) having a camera. Images from the camera are processed to detect a marker in the user environment. A pose of the handheld UID is determined based on the detected marker. A movement of the surgical robotic arm is effected based on the pose of the handheld UID.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: Bernhard A.

Patent number: 10289636Abstract: A method and system for accessing database tables that contain binary large objects (BLOBs) is disclosed. The method includes encapsulating BLOB-based tables with virtual tables, which allows a user to access the content of the BLOBs via SQL. In one example, the virtual table has a generic table structure that consists of columns (e.g., class name, field name, and field value) and information regarding what level of an object hierarchy contains an element. In another example, a user can define the structure of the virtual table by identifying which object attributes to report.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Martin Pfeifle, Jan Richter, Alexander Barthel

Patent number: 9160817Abstract: A page server and method of using the page server is described. The page server stores versioned pages. The pages, which are equally sized data chunks, can be stored with identifiers and version data in a relational database, in separate files, or in a single file where pages are concatenated. The page server may be accessed via SQL, a web interface, a proprietary key/value/version interface on top of TCP/IP, or other method. The page server facilitates incremental updates.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventors: Jan Richter, Martin Pfeifle, Christof Kaiser, Peter Skvarenina, Alexander Barthel
