  • Publication number: 20240119608
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a velocity of a fluid or an object are described. Systems and methods include receiving image data of the fluid or the object, the image data comprising a plurality of frames. Each frame comprises an array of pixel values. Systems and methods include creating a frame difference by subtracting an array of pixel values for a first frame of the image data from an array of pixel values for a second frame of the image data. Systems and methods include measuring a difference between a location of the object in the first frame of the image data and the second frame of the image data. Systems and methods include creating a correlation matrix based on the measured difference. Systems and methods include using the frame difference and the correlation matrix to automatically determine the velocity of the fluid or the object.

  • Publication number: 20230147669
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to an interbody device for use in a spinal fusion procedure. The interbody device generally includes a superior endplate opposite to an inferior endplate. Friction elements extend from at least one of the superior endplate and the inferior endplate. In some embodiments, one or more of the friction elements comprise a plurality of teeth. In embodiments, the teeth of one or more of the friction elements are arranged in a row.

  • Publication number: 20070265543
    Abstract: An electrode device for taking a plurality of EEG measurements, and an associated method of taking EEG measurements, whereby a plurality of electrode contact-points configured atop a support member are in electrical communication with, and in relative proximity to, an integrated circuit comprising converter circuitry adapted for converting analog EEG signals measured, having originated from within a patient, into digital signals prior to transmission thereof to a processing unit. The integrated circuit/circuitry (IC) may be supported by the support member or by a lead assembly having wiring for the digital signal transmission. The support member may have a plurality of layers and be generally flexible; as fabricated of any of a number of flexible, generally insulative biocompatible materials to which circuitry may be etched or deposited, exhibiting sufficient structural integrity to decrease likelihood of degradation during surgery or once implanted.
