  • Publication number: 20240035643
    Abstract: A lighting module includes a heat sink with a sidewall and a partition defining two cavities, a LED light source disposed in one cavity to emit light, a driver module disposed in the other cavity with driver circuitry to provide electrical power to the light source, and an optical assembly to provide a desired emission profile. The optical assembly is field-changeable and includes a cover lens with snap-fit connectors to facilitate removal and replacement. The optical assembly further includes either a reflector coupled to the cover lens or an optical lens coupled to the heat sink via an optic holder. In some examples, the driver circuitry facilitates dimming of the light source. The heat sink also dissipates heat generated by the light source and the driver circuitry to maintain desired operating temperatures and thereby facilitate increased light output.

  • Patent number: 11741672
    Abstract: A system may receive imaging data generated by an imaging device directed at a heart. The system may receive a first input operation indicative of a selected time-frame. The system may display images of the heart based on the intensity values mapped to the selected time-frame. The system may receive, based on interaction with the images, an apex coordinate and a base coordinate. The system may calculate, based on the apex coordinate and the base coordinate, a truncated ellipsoid representative an endocardial or epicardial boundary of the heart. The system may generate a four-dimensional mesh comprising three-dimensional vertices spaced along the mesh. The system may overlay, on the displayed images, markers representative of the vertices. The system may receive a second input operation corresponding to a selected marker. The system may enhance the mesh by adjusting or interpolating vertices across multiple time-frames.
