  • Publication number: 20220175462
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accurate determination of the position of an anatomic part of a subject in robotic assisted image-based surgery, using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to determine the position and orientation of the anatomical part of the subject. The intrinsic drift of the IMU, which would make the IMU position measurements inaccurate, can be reset to zero regularly, at points of time when the subject's body is stationary. This can be achieved when motion from the subject's breathing and from the heartbeat are essentially zero. Such positions occur respectively when the respiratory signal shows the position of the breathing cycle to be at the end of the expiration phase, and the heartbeat signal represents a time in the diastole period of the subject's electrocardiographic cycle. When these two signal moments coincide, the IMU is essentially stationary, and its drift reset to zero.

  • Publication number: 20220151714
    Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic retraction of tissues in a surgical field. Two retractor mechanisms are used on either side of an incision. Each retractor is adapted to be held by a robotic arm, which applies force on the retractor mechanism to pull dissected tissue away from the incision, thus revealing the operative field. A force sensor is employed to measure the force on the retractor, an optional tracking sensor may be used to measure the extent of tissue retraction in two or three dimensions, and both sources of information provided to the robotic controller. By monitoring feedback from either the force sensor or the tracking sensor, the system is able to maintain equal retraction on both sides of the incision. The retractor elements incorporate mechanisms that move down the tissue as the retractors are pulled laterally.

  • Patent number: 11330012
    Abstract: System, method, and device of detecting identity of a user and authenticating a user; as well as detecting a possible attacker or impostor, and differentiating among users of an electronic device or of a computerized service. A mobile or portable electronic device is utilized to capture a self-taken image or video of a user, which is utilized as a user-authentication factor. The accelerometer and gyroscope or device-orientation sensor of the mobile device, sense and measure spatial and physical device properties during, before or after the submission of the self-taken image or video. Based on such spatial and physical device properties, in combination with computer-vision analysis of the content shown in the self-taken image or video, the system determines liveness of the user and freshness of the submitted self-taken image or video, and differentiates between a legitimate user and an attacker.

  • Patent number: 11269977
    Abstract: System and method of collecting and processing data in electronic devices. A sensors data collector collects measurements from at least an accelerometer and a gyroscope of an electronic device. A data-loss prevention module operates to pass these measurements, immediately upon their collection, to a supplemental locally-running processing thread which retains the measurements even after a refresh of a web-page in which the measurements were collected, and which transmits the measurements to a remote server even after refresh of the web-page in which the measurements were collected. Non-global scope of functions is utilized, to reduce security exposure. An asynchronous SharedWorker module is utilized, to alleviate congestion of computing resources of the electronic device. Data obfuscation and encoding is utilized to maintain anonymity of user-entered data while still allowing a remote server to ensure the integrity of data received from the electronic device.
