Patent number: 11106283Abstract: Motion detection computing devices may have difficulty determining precise motions of a user who suffers from unintended movement, such as tremors, associated with a physical or medical condition. Aspects described herein relate to motion compensation for detected motion input, e.g., 3D motion, from such users. As described herein, a system may detect the presence of rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics within captured motion input from a user. The system may determine one or more filters to apply to the captured motion input based on the rhythmic motion, other input characteristics, and/or information in a user profile. The one or more filters may be applied to the captured motion input in order to suppress or minimize the effects of the rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics thereby resulting in an enhanced user experience in an interactive system, such as a 3D, virtual and/or augmented reality environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Allen Hall, Edward David Monnerat

Publication number: 20210128869Abstract: Briefly summarized, embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for removing an occlusion from an indwelling catheter. The system can include a pressurized fluid conduit for delivering pressurized fluid to an occlusion site, and ablating the occlusion. A negative pressure source in fluid communication with the catheter lumen can then aspirate the occlusion. The positive pressure source can provide a pulsed pressurized fluid to facilitate ablation. The system can also include tip tracking and tip location systems to ensure the pressurized fluid conduit does not extend beyond the catheter lumen, causing damage to the vasculature. The system can further include an ultrasound transducer, coupled with one of the catheter and the pressurized fluid conduit to provide ultrasonic wave energy to the occlusion to further facilitate ablation thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Michael Davis, Gidon Ofek, Edward David Bell, Samuel Joseph Akins
