Abstract: A processing system provides two-way communication between an electroanatomic navigation and mapping system (EAMS) and a head-mounted display (HMD). A user wearing the HMD can use hands-free or touch-free actions to interact with a user interface for EAMS information displayed by the HMD (e.g., 3D augmented reality graphics) or by a display monitor (e.g., 2D graphics). For example, the processing system updates the position of a cursor on the display monitor to track a gaze direction of the user as determined by the HMD.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system receives data from a first electromagnetic sensor coupled to a head-mounted display (HMD) and detecting an electromagnetic field generated by an electromagnetic reference source coupled to an ultrasound probe. The system receives data from a second electromagnetic sensor coupled to a medical instrument and detecting the electromagnetic field. The system determines a position of the HMD relative to the ultrasound probe. The system determines a position of the medical instrument relative to the ultrasound probe. The system generates a visualization of a path of the medical instrument oriented relative to an ultrasound image plane. The system provides a graphic for display by the HMD to a user wearing the HMD, where the graphic includes the visualization and image data captured by the ultrasound probe displayed on the ultrasound image plane.

Abstract: To accelerate the curing of epoxide resins by particular curing agents, i.e., polyamines, polyaminoamides, polycarboxylic acids, or polycarboxylic acid anhydrides, there is employed an aliphatic or araliphatic monocarboxylic acid group at least two halogen atoms chosen from fluorine and chlorine atoms, or a salt thereof, such as magnesium trifluoroacetate and magnesium trichloroacetate.

Abstract: To accelerate the curing of epoxide resins by aromatic, heterocyclic, or cycloaliphatic polyamines there are employed salts of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.

Abstract: To accelerate the curing of an epoxide resin by means of an aromatic or cycloaliphatic polyamine there is incorporated magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese, cobalt, or nickel perchlorate. Typically, from 0.2 to 2 parts by weight of the perchlorate is used per 100 parts of the combined weights of the epoxide resin and the polyamine.
