Patent number: 11651706Abstract: Airway management virtual reality (VR) training systems and methods are provided, which use relatively simple and passive physical patient models to train users in performing airway management procedures. Patient models may include a respiratory tract, a moveable head and an openable jaw, which are anatomically realistic; and electromagnetic sensors that measure the movements of parts of the physical model and movement of tools used to handle the model. The parameters of the medical procedure being performed are sensed, tracked and displayed, providing the trainee with a continuous, detailed and coherent VR representation of the training situation in a realistic scene, utilizing and modifying a sensors' hierarchy to focus the VR representation on key features of the training and to yield interactivity of the VR patient and assessment of the trainee's performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: SIMBIONIX LTD.Inventors: Amnon Harel, Niv Fisher, Kostya Sydoruk, Leonid Notkin, Yishaiya Garfinkel

Patent number: 11125904Abstract: A detector assembly includes a hollow body in which a printed circuit board, a resistive plate, a drilled board, a drift volume, and a cathode are disposed. A surface of the printed circuit board exposed to the resistive plate includes printed circuit lines for measuring first and second coordinates of a charge event. The hollow body can include a sealable opening to remove contaminants outgassed from one or more components of the detector assembly and to fill the hollow body with an operational gas. The sealable opening can be fluidly coupled to a gas and vacuum system to reduce the concentration of the outgassed contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Lingacom Ltd.Inventors: David Yaish, Yosef Kolkovich, Amnon Harel, Adam Yona Elbaz

Patent number: 10393893Abstract: Methods of detecting high atomic weight materials in a volume such as a truck or cargo container are disclosed. The volume is scanned with an X-ray imaging system and a muon detection system. Using the output data of the muon detection system, the exit momentum and incoming and outgoing tracks of each muon are reconstructed. A muon scattering statistical model is calculated using the muon exit momentum and the incoming and outgoing tracks of the muon. A most likely scattering density map is determined according to the muon-scattering statistical model and an X-ray statistical model. A visual representation of the most likely scattering density map is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Lingacom Ltd.Inventors: David Yaish, Yosef Kolkovich, Amnon Harel
