  • Publication number: 20230225880
    Abstract: An acetabular cup removal device and method. The removal device can include a mounting ring attachable to an acetabular cup, a rotor rotatably coupled to the mounting ring and rotatable about a first axis, an arm pivotably coupled to the rotor and pivotable about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, an oscillator assembly slidably disposed in a first slit of the arm, and a blade slidably disposed in a second slit of the arm. A rotation of the oscillator assembly causes an oscillation of the blade within the second slit. The removal method includes coupling the device to an acetabular cup, positioning the arm and blade at an initial location, oscillating the blade so as to perform a cut, repositioning the arm at a subsequent adjacent location, repeating the repositioning and oscillating steps until a 360° circumference is cut around the acetabular cup, and removing the acetabular cup.

  • Patent number: 10580397
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for visualizing distractions are described. In one example, audio data is received from microphones in an open space. A human speech distractor presence is identified by one or more of: (a) detecting voice activity from the audio data, (b) receiving motion sensor data from motion sensors in the open space and detecting motion activity from the motion sensor data, or (c) receiving video sensor data from video sensors in the open space and detecting a human presence from the video data. A source location of the human speech distractor presence within the open space is identified utilizing one or more of the audio data, the motion sensor data, or the video data. A distraction index parameter is generated from the audio data. The distraction index parameter is visually indicated on an open space map at the source location of the human speech distractor presence.
