  • Patent number: 11974819
    Abstract: A method comprising segmenting at least one vertebral body from at least one image of a first three-dimensional image data set. The method comprises receiving at least one image of a second three-dimensional image data set. The method comprises registering the segmented at least one vertebral body from the at least one image of the first three-dimensional image data set with the at least one image of the second three-dimensional image data set. The method comprises determining a position of the at least one surgical implant based on the at least one image of the second three-dimensional image data set and a three-dimensional geometric model of the at least one surgical implant. The method comprises overlaying a virtual representation of the at least one surgical implant on the registered and segmented at least one vertebral body from the at least one image of the first three-dimensional image data set.

  • Publication number: 20220360737
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for determining an image resource allocation for displaying content within a display area. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to other objects in the space. The viewing distance between the user and the display area (e.g., the display device) may be monitored and processed to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area. Prioritization data associated with the content may be used to determine and/or adjust the image resource allocation for content displayed within the display area.

  • Patent number: 11312015
    Abstract: A system and method for moving an object against a working surface of a finishing machine that is set in a fixed position. The object is moved in a precise movement pattern while following a precise contact pressure pattern. The object is moved against the working surface of the finishing machine using a robot with an articulating arm. Other movement is provided by a dynamic platform upon which the robot rests. The dynamic platform includes a linear slide that enables the robot to reciprocally move. The dynamic platform also includes an active contact flange that acts upon the linear slide. The active contact flange is programmable and imparts the contact pressure pattern to the object through the linear slide and the robot. A rotary table can also be provided that selectively rotates the robot, the linear slide and the active contact flange.
