Patent number: 11357573Abstract: A technique relates to coronary reconstruction. Angiogram data associated with cardiac catheterization of an artery for a subject is received, where a contrasting agent is used during the cardiac catheterization. Frames that match from the angiogram data are selected, the frames being from different views. Two-dimensional ordered point clouds for the frames are formed. A three-dimensional ordered point cloud of a reconstructed coronary artery for the subject from the two-dimensional ordered point clouds of the frames is formed. Observed contrast motion caused by the contrasting agent onto the reconstructed coronary artery is mapped, the reconstructed coronary artery thereby providing a three-dimensional model of the artery of the subject during the cardiac catheterization.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew Rawlinson, Kerry Halupka, Stephen Michael Moore, Sergiy Zhuk

Patent number: 11263815Abstract: A system for adapting virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) content for learning based on a user's interests includes a personalization engine that determines a user's interests and knowledge level regarding a topic, a content modifier that modifies VR or AR content related to the topic according to the users interests and knowledge level, an object selector that selects VR and AR models used to teach the topic during a VR or AR session and modifies the VR and AR models with the modified content based on the user's interests and knowledge level; a VR engine that renders the modified VR and AR models into VR or AR images, and a VR display that displays the VR or AR images. The user's engagement is measured during interaction with the VR display and used to refine and improve an understanding of the user's interest and knowledge level regarding the topic.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Nebula Alam, Simon Harris, Shaila Pervin, Andrew Rawlinson, Wanita Sherchan

Patent number: 10425787Abstract: A mobile unit in a housing facility for mobile units may be tracked by activating a first reading device at a first location of the housing facility upon detecting a first mobile unit arriving at or departing from the first location, wherein the first mobile unit has a first tag having an identification code (ID) readable by the first reading device. A set of readings may be performed by the first reading device to read a set of tag IDs during a time interval. Upon an ending of the time interval, tag IDs, in the set of tag IDs, that correspond to the first tag ID are identified based on the set of readings. A record is updated to associate the first tag ID with the first location.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: International Busines Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Rawlinson, Xing Zhi Sun, Ziyuan Wang
