Patent number: 11931201Abstract: The invention provides a method for making anatomical measurements using a captured ultrasound image representative of the anatomical region of interest. The method comprises receiving (20) data representative of a set of points selected by a user within the image and interpreting from the points a particular anatomical measurement type which the user is intending to perform. In particular, the points are processed to identify (24) a pattern or other geometrical characteristic of the points, and the location (22) of at least one of the points within the image is also identified. These two characteristics are used to identify from the set of points which measurement the operator is performing. Once the measurement is identified, an appropriate measurement template (26) is selected and applied in order to derive (30) from the set of points an anatomical measurement.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Nicole Schadewaldt, Cristian Lorenz, Alexander Schmidt-Richberg, Tobias Klinder

Patent number: 10786694Abstract: An air-supply device for supplying breathing air into a breathing-air region. An inflow opening connected to an outflow region via an interior. An outflow region connected to the outflow region via the interior. The outflow region formed on a flexible, air-permeable material. For flexible use of the air-supply device and to avoid significant adverse effect to a user, provision is made for the air-supply device to have a sheet-like, flexible portion, which has a first flat side and a second flat side, located opposite the first. The outflow region arranged on the first flat side. The interior formed between the first flat side and the second flat side. In the interior, at least the outflow region has arranged on it at least one spacer, which prevents the outflow region from butting against the second flat side.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Avea Capital Ltd.Inventors: Peter Jud, Alexander Lorenz, Mark Ital

Patent number: 10724189Abstract: A walk-behind apparatus and method for cutting non-linear trenches in concrete includes a frame supported by fixed direction wheels at a front end on a fixed axis of rotation, and multi-directional wheels at a rear end to rotate on movable axes of rotation, to permit the frame to rotate about a vertical axis passing through the frame. A handle is engageable by a user walking behind the frame for pushing the apparatus forward and/or for steering. A cutting wheel has a diameter of 5-20 inches and a cutting portion having a width of 0.5-1.5 inches. The cutting rotates on an axis parallel to the fixed axis and which extends notionally through the fixed direction wheels. The cutting wheel is disposed within a protective shroud viewable by the user to permit the user to visually align and guide the cutting wheel along a non-linear path on the ground while steering.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventor: Alexander Lorenz

Patent number: 10494859Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to insulating glass (IG) units including three substantially parallel spaced apart glass substrates, wherein at least two of the surfaces include low-emissivity (low-E) coatings and at least some of the non-low E coated surfaces have antireflective (AR) coatings disposed thereon. In certain example embodiments, low-E coatings are provided on the second and fifth surfaces of the IG unit, and each internal surface of the IG unit that does not support a low-E coating does support an AR coating. Additional AR coatings may be provided on one or both of the outermost surfaces in certain example embodiments. In some cases, the center substrate need not be heat treated because of the reduced absorption enabled by providing the low-E coatings on the two outermost substrates, as well as the reduced heat accumulation in the center lite itself and in the two adjacent spacers.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: GUARDIAN GLASS, LLC.Inventors: Marcus Frank, Brent Boyce, Hartmut Knoll, Alexander Lorenz, Uwe Kriltz

Patent number: 10246837Abstract: A portable apparatus and method for cutting linear trenches in a concrete ground surface includes two bars extending in parallel spaced relation along the concrete with an elongated track removably fastened and extending orthogonally thereto. A trolley supporting a motor-driven cutting wheel is movably engaged with the track. A depth adjuster alternately lowers and raises the cutting wheel to engage and disengage the concrete while the trolley follows contours of the concrete to cut a kerf of uniform depth. The track is selectively movable to spaced locations along the lengths of the two bars to cut a first plurality of parallel kerfs in a first direction. The apparatus is rotatable about a vertical axis to cut a second plurality of parallel kerfs oriented in a second direction at a predetermined angle, e.g., 90 degrees, to the first direction, to form a simulated tile pattern in the concrete.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Inventor: Alexander Lorenz
