  • Publication number: 20210228944
    Abstract: A system for physical training of a body part comprises a tracker having a mounting structure configured to fasten the tracker at a particular body part of a user and a sensor unit configured to detect a movement of the body part. The system further comprises a model generation arrangement connectable to the tracker and configured to obtain first sensor data about a sequence of motion detected by the tracker and to generate an individual movement model based on the first sensor data. The system also comprises an analysis arrangement connectable to the tracker and configured to evaluate second sensor data about a current motion of the body part and to check compliance of the second sensor data with respect to the individual movement model.

  • Publication number: 20210093230
    Abstract: A device for determining a parameter of the locomotion of animals has at least one marker with a tracker, and/or at least one sensor and an evaluation unit. The marker and/or the sensor are attached to a jacket provided for dressing the animal. The marker and/or sensor is arranged on the jacket so that the marker is arranged on the animal wearing the jacket having a defined spatial assignment to a parameter-relevant body location of the animal associated to the marker and/or sensor. The evaluation unit determines a parameter of the locomotion on the basis of a motion, detected by the tracker, of the parameter-relevant body location associated to the marker and/or on the basis of a motion, detected by the sensor, of the parameter-relevant body location associated to the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10743940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation system for dental and cranio-maxillofacial surgery, comprising a surgical handpiece (2), an imaging unit (4) which is movably attached to the surgical handpiece (2), and a marker member (6; 44, 46) which is attachable to a cranial bone, a facial bone (26), a tooth or teeth of a patient. The marker member (6; 44, 46) comprises a plurality of marker elements (8, 10; 46) which are detectable by the imaging unit (4). Further, the invention relates to a positioning tool (40) for use with the navigation system, wherein the positioning tool (40) is configured for positioning the marker member (44, 46) on a patient's cranial bone, facial bone (26), tooth or teeth and comprises a die element (42) and the marker member (44, 46).

  • Publication number: 20200046454
    Abstract: A registration and identification tool (1) for an instrument (100), comprising a body (2), a marker member (3) which is optically detectable and provided on the body (2), and a recess (4) in the body (2) which extends from an outer surface of the body (2) into the inside of the body (2), thereby defining an extension direction of the recess (4), wherein the recess (4) has a shape such that a lateral extension of the recess (4) decreases in the direction from the outer surface of the body (2) towards the inside of the body (2).
