  • Semantic interior mapology: a tool box for indoor scene description from architectural floor plans
    Patent number: 11367264
    Abstract: A computer implemented method or system including a map conversion toolkit and a map Population toolkit. The map conversion toolkit allows one to quickly trace the layout of a floor plan, generating a file (e.g., GeoJSON file) that can be rendered in two dimensions (2D) or three dimensions (3D) using web tools such as Mapbox. The map population toolkit takes the scan (e.g., 3D scan) of a room in the building (taken from an RGB-D camera), and, through a semi- automatic process, generates individual objects, which are correctly dimensioned and positioned in the (e.g., GeoJSON) representation of the building. In another example, a computer implemented method for diagraming a space comprises obtaining a layout of the space; and annotating or decorating the layout with meaningful labels that are translatable to glanceable visual signals or audio signals.

  • Flange forming device and method of forming a flange on a sheet metal part to reduce surface distortion
    Patent number: 11358204
    Abstract: A method of forming a vehicle panel includes deforming a sheet metal workpiece between stamping tools to form a first and second edges that converge at a corner of the workpiece's main surface. The first edge is defined by a junction of the main surface and a first flange. The second edge is defined the main surface and a second flange. Forming the first and second edges includes deforming the workpiece so that the second flange has a first region bent to a first angle relative to the main surface and an unwinding region bent to an angle that unwinds from the first region as the second flange approaches the corner. The method includes deforming the workpiece between a second set of stamping tools that deform the first flange and the unwinding region of the second flange until the first and second flanges are bent greater than 90°.

  • HEART VALVE PINCH DEVICES AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20220168096
    Abstract: Pinch devices and access systems that can be used to secure a prosthetic heart valve to a heart valve annulus and to treat valvular insufficiency. A pinch device can be a separate expandable element from the prosthetic heart valve that is first advanced to the annulus and deployed, after which an expandable prosthetic heart valve can be advanced to within the annulus and deployed. The two elements can clamp/pinch the heart valve leaflets to hold the prosthetic heart valve in place. The pinch device can have a flexible, expandable annular frame. A combined delivery system can deliver the pinch device and prosthetic heart valve with just a single access point and aid more accurate coaxial deployment. The pinch device can be mounted near distal end of an access sheath, and a catheter for delivering the prosthetic heart valve can be passed through a lumen of the same access sheath.
