  • Patent number: 12193755
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products for planning of a cutting boundary for removal of a diseased region of an anatomy, such as a bone tumor. A cutting surface is placed relative to the diseased region in a virtual model. An optimization algorithm specifies an optimization criterion that minimizes an amount of healthy region to be removed by the cutting surface and initializes candidate solutions to influence characteristics of the cutting surface. The optimization algorithm identifies a candidate solution that satisfies the optimization criterion and modifies characteristics of the cutting surface based on the identified candidate solution. The cutting boundary is defined relative to diseased region in the virtual model based on the modified cutting surface. The cutting boundary can be registered to the anatomy for constraining operation of a surgical tool in response to interaction of the surgical tool with the registered cutting boundary.

  • Patent number: 8808850
    Abstract: A fire retardant intumescent coating composition is disclosed, which includes expandable graphite, an aromatic polyamine resin, and a phosphorous-containing compound. An overlay for applying to a wood substrate is also disclosed, which includes a core layer comprising a substrate and a resin composition, a top layer on one side of the core layer comprising the fire retardant intumescent coating composition, and an optional bottom layer on the opposite side of the core layer from the top layer. A process of forming the overlay is also disclosed, which includes applying the resin composition to the core layer substrate to form a resinated core layer, and applying a coating composition on the resinated core layer, directly or indirectly, to form the top layer; wherein the coating composition comprises expandable graphite, an aromatic polyamine resin, and a phosphorous-containing compound.
