  • Publication number: 20240111290
    Abstract: A system for detecting and engaging a refuse can includes at least one sensor positioned on a refuse collection vehicle and configured to detect objects on one or more sides of the refuse vehicle, an actuator assembly configured to actuate to engage the refuse can, and a controller configured to detect, using a single-stage object detector, the presence of the refuse can based on first data received from the at least one sensor, determine, based on the first data, a position of the refuse can with respect to the refuse collection vehicle, generate a first trajectory from the refuse collection vehicle to the position of the refuse can, generate a second trajectory for the actuator assembly, and initiate a control action to move at least one of the refuse collection vehicle along the first trajectory or the actuator assembly along the second trajectory to engage the refuse can.

  • Patent number: 11922736
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes multiple systems, each system including a sensor. The refuse vehicle also includes an automated check system. The automated check system includes processing circuitry configured to obtain sensor data from the sensor of each of the multiple systems, determine which of the multiple systems require manual inspection based on the sensor data, and operate a display screen to prompt a technician to manually inspect one or more of the multiple systems.

    Abstract: An orthopaedic prosthetic component includes a manufactured acetabular shell component having an outer wall and an additively manufactured augment coupled to the outer wall. The augment includes an outer surface that defines a customized patient-specific negative contour shaped to conform to a positive contour of a patient's bone. A method for manufacturing the prosthetic component is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230277331
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to systems to intraoperatively determine prosthetics (such as femoral stems) or a combination of prosthetics (such as a femoral stem used in combination with other prosthetics) that meet target parameters (such as leg length). The system may determine, for a patient, a plurality of leg lengths, where each leg length may correspond to a distinct digital prosthetic template in a set of digital prosthetic templates, and where each digital prosthetic template may be associated with a distinct prosthetic in a set of prosthetics. In response to a received target leg length for the patient, the system or method may determine prosthetics that when implanted in the patient would yield the target leg length and may display corresponding prosthetic information. The target length may be input using slider on a graphical user interface and the system may interactively update the prosthetics that would yield the target leg length.

  • Publication number: 20220354594
    Abstract: Technologies for monitoring impaction and predicting impaction state during an orthopaedic surgical procedure include one or more impaction sensors that generate sensor data. The surgical procedure includes impaction of an orthopaedic implement such as a surgical instrument or a prosthetic component. An impaction analyzer generates an impaction state prediction with a machine learning model based on the sensor data. The impaction state prediction may include an unseated state, a seated state, and a fracture state. An impaction state user interface outputs the impaction state prediction. A model trainer may train the machine learning model with labeled sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20130345751
    Abstract: A suture anchor insertion apparatus includes an insertion device having an insertion sheath. The insertion sheath includes an inner chamber and a distal end. The distal end is adapted to penetrate bone of a subject, and the distal end defines an opening in communication with the inner chamber. An anchoring device is carried by the insertion sheath within the inner chamber. The anchoring device includes a distal surface adapted to engage the bone of the subject when the distal end of the insertion sheath penetrates the bone of the subject. The anchoring device is adapted to pass through the opening to detach from the insertion sheath and couple to the bone of the subject. A suture is coupled to the anchoring device and is adapted to couple to soft tissue of the subject.
