  • Patent number: 12337792
    Abstract: Access to a vehicle is controlled by detecting gestures pointing to a virtual keypad. A setup mode preconfigures a sequence of touchpoints as a security key, wherein an administrant performs a timed series of distinct gestures according to a chosen number and location of touchpoints which are detected by the vehicle using captured real-time images. Touchpoints during a plurality of repetition trials provide respective sets of datapoints for each one of the distinct gestures in the series. A respective deviation contour is determined for each respective set and then expanded to represent regions of validity for respective touchpoints corresponding to the sequence of touchpoints. The expanded deviation contours are accepted as defining the sequence of touchpoints for the security key if there is no overlap between any expanded deviation contours to complete the setup mode.

  • Publication number: 20250127573
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include systems and methods for planning and/or performing an ablation procedure. Volumetric image data including a needle, such as a physical ablation needle or a virtual needle, can be analyzed to segment the needle within the volume. A first cross-sectional, two-dimensional view of the volume showing a first plane in which an axis defined by the needle lies can be generated and displayed. The view can be manipulated to display a generated second cross-sectional, two-dimensional view of the volume showing a second plane through the volume in which the longitudinal axis defined by the virtual needle lies, wherein the second plane is different from the first plane. Additional segmented features such as lesions in the image data, treatment regions, isotherms, and the like can be included in views to be analyzed from a plurality of views that include the needle.

  • Patent number: 12193169
    Abstract: An improved electromagnetic field generating antenna is compatible with fluoroscopic imaging and can be placed under, above or anywhere around the patient. The antenna includes one or more antenna elements laid out on a single or multi-layer PCB with current conducting metal traces used for creating electromagnetic fields for tracking sensors. An antenna enclosure is made with a polymer or other non-conductive material. The antenna does not have to be moved for allowing medical imaging during various procedures. An X-ray filter may be made out of similar sub-components as a full antenna assembly with the sole purpose of reducing the radiation dose to the patient during medical procedures without negatively affecting the image quality.
