  • Publication number: 20260111094
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for selecting a point-of-view (POV) for displaying an environment. In some implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a first view of a target located in a graphical environment, wherein the first view is associated with a first rig. In some implementations, the method includes detecting a change in the graphical environment. In some implementations, the method includes, in response to detecting the change in the graphical environment, switching from the first rig to a second rig that provides a second view of the target that is different from the first view.

  • Patent number: 12582781
    Abstract: An injection system comprising a syringe barrel; a first sealing element and a second sealing element moveably disposed in the syringe barrel; an injection chamber between them; a puncture element extending from the first sealing element to deliver an injection agent from the injection chamber into a biological space, wherein one or more of the syringe barrel, the first or the second sealing element are configured to prevent proximal movement of the first sealing element past a pre-selected location, while allowing the second sealing element to come in contact with the first sealing element, the system is configured such that, when a force is applied on the second sealing element in a distal direction, in response to a first opposing force, the puncture element advances and in response to a second opposing force, the puncture element remains stationary and the injection agent is conveyed through the puncture element.

  • Patent number: 12499599
    Abstract: In some implementations, the method includes: obtaining a plurality of animations; determining initial and end motion states for each of the plurality of animations; generating an animation graph including nodes for each of the plurality of animations by connecting, with a directional edge, a first node with an end motion state to a second node with an initial motion state that matches the end motion state of the first node; generating a transitional animation that is not included among the plurality of animations from an initial reference motion state to a target motion state that corresponds to a path that traverses the animation graph from a third node associated with the initial reference motion state to a fourth node associated with the target motion state; and updating the animation graph by removing one or more nodes from the animation graph based at least in part on the transitional animation.

  • Patent number: 12474814
    Abstract: A device obtains a request to display a graphical environment. The graphical environment is associated with a set of saliency values corresponding to respective portions of the graphical environment. A POV for displaying the graphical environment is selected based on the set of saliency values. The graphical environment is displayed from the selected POV on the display.

  • Publication number: 20250342658
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of presenting a scene content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a definition of a scene based on a model of an environment, wherein the definition includes a constraint that defines a spatial relationship between a first asset and a second asset that corresponds to one or more objects in the environment. The method includes generating, based on application of the definition of the scene to first and second environments, first and second instances of the scene that satisfy the constraint with the first asset in the spatial relationship with a first one and a second one of the one or more objects in the first and second environments, respectively. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first and second instances of the scene.

  • Patent number: 12394146
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of composing a scene content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a definition of a scene based on textual or speech input and a model of a physical environment, wherein the definition includes a constraint that defines a spatial relationship between a virtual asset and an anchor asset that corresponds to one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes generating, based on the definition of the scene and the model of the physical environment, a first instance of the scene that satisfies the constraint with the virtual asset in the spatial relationship with a first one of the one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first instance of the scene.

  • Publication number: 20250152365
    Abstract: A bioabsorbable textile for the restoration of the joint function whereas the joint is affected by partial thickness tears, small to medium full-thickness tears, large to massive full-thickness tears, acute and chronic/degenerative tears. The bioabsorbable textile may comprise polymeric yarns interconnected to form a weave or knitted configuration, wherein said bioabsorbable textile provides a combined mechanical and biological augmentation in the target joint tissue. The bioabsorbable textile may be implanted in combination with fixation tools during open, mini-open or arthroscopic repair/augmentation procedures of joint tissue tears.

  • Publication number: 20240197523
    Abstract: System and methods for injection into a cavity are provided. In some embodiments, an injection system includes an injection assembly comprising a syringe barrel defining a lumen between proximal and distal ends and a second sealing element moveably disposed within the lumen to dispense an injection agent from an injection chamber defined in the syringe barrel. A puncture element delivers the injection agent into a space in a tissue. The tissue is less permeable to the injection agent than the space. The injection system also includes a support platform to support the injection assembly and anchor it relative to a site of injection, a drive assembly to operate the injection assembly, one or more sensors to monitor one or more forces on the injection assembly, and a controller in communication with the one or more sensors to receive information about the one or more forces on the injection system.
