  • Patent number: 10398346
    Abstract: Systems and methods for guiding a sensor to locate a source of a propagating wave. The methods involve: presenting an electronic display comprising an image representing an object in which the sensor is placed and a visual indicator representing the sensor; receiving signals generated by electrodes while the sensor resides at a first location in the object; determining a First Recommended Direction of Travel (“FRDT”) for the sensor based on the received signals; using the FRDT to generate a mask that is to cover at least a portion of the image representing a portion of the object that is absent of the source; and modifying the electronic display to include the mask overlaid on top of the image and an arrow showing FRDT.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10398338
    Abstract: Systems and methods for guiding a sensor to a location of a propagating wave source. The methods comprise: receiving, by the computing device, a plurality of signals generated by a plurality of electrodes of the sensor while the sensor resides at the first location in the object; processing, by the computing device, the plurality of signals to determine coordinates of an estimated location of the propagating wave source relative to the first location at which the sensor resides; and providing a visual aid facilitating sensor movement by plotting a dot on a grid overlaid on top of an object image displayed by the computing device.
