Publication number: 20200245061Abstract: A waveguide (1) comprising a shell (11, 12) having an inlet opening (110, 120) intended to receive acoustic energy and an outlet opening (111, 121) for emitting acoustic energy; and a phase plug (13, 14) located into the shell (11, 12) so as to define therebetween a pathway (W) for the acoustic energy from the inlet opening (110, 120) to the outlet opening (111, 121). The acoustic pathway (W) has a longitudinal extension direction (D) between the openings (110, 120, 111, 121) and the directions of all longitudinal splines (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6) of the pathway (W) are perpendicular to the inlet opening (110, 120) at the inlet opening (110, 120) on one ideal longitudinal surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: STEVEN DESROSIERS, GEOFFREY PETER McKINNON, ZHAO ZUO

Publication number: 20200196885Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods directed to detecting positions of a catheter relative to cardiac regions of a patient are disclosed herein. In some implementations, an ablation system can include a cardiac catheter and a catheter interface unit in communication with one or more electrodes and/or sensors on the cardiac catheter. The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure can identify regions of the heart based on one or more signals from the respective one or more electrodes and/or sensors. In these and other implementations, the devices, system, and methods can display visual indicia based on an identified cardiac region.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2018Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Doron Harlev, Paul B.

Publication number: 20200197095Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to generating three-dimensional surface representations of an anatomic structure such as a heart cavity. More specifically, a three-dimensional surface representation of the anatomic structure is constrained relative to one or more anchor portions corresponding to received input regarding the location of anatomic features of the anatomic structure. The resulting three-dimensional surface representation includes salient features of the anatomic structure and, therefore, can be useful as visualization tool during any of various different medical procedures, including, for example, cardiac ablation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Doron Harlev, Geoffrey Peter Wright

Patent number: 10687549Abstract: Shown is an apparatus and method for cracking stone fruit nuts. The apparatus includes a frame (2) supporting a set of spaced apart jaw including a first jaw (4) and a second jaw (5) defining between them a gap (6), which is tapered down from the inlet (7) to the outlet (8). The first jaw (4) is adjustably secured to the frame (2) for adjustment of the size of the gap (6). The second jaw (5) is movably supported by the frame (2) and secured to drive means configured to rotatably move the second jaw (5) relative to the first jaw (4) with a tangential motion resulting in the continuously change of the size of the gap (6). To crack the shell, the stone fruit nut is located between the jaws and repeatedly pressed and rolled between the jaws from the inlet (7) to the outlet (8).Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: JANON TRADING PROPRIETARY LIMITEDInventors: Anthony Walter Berlein, Geoffrey Peter Harwood

Patent number: 10475236Abstract: Systems and methods present multiple images of a three-dimensional model, including a three-dimensional representation of an anatomic structure and a representation of a medical device relative to the anatomic structure, on a graphical user interface. The multiple images correspond to different views (e.g., in multiple, different planes) of the three-dimensional model to provide complementary spatial information regarding a position of the medical device relative to the anatomic structure during a medical procedure performed on the anatomic structure. Such complementary spatial information can, for example, provide spatial context to facilitate controlling the position of the medical device relative to the anatomic structure during the medical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Affera, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Peter Wright, Doron Harlev

Publication number: 20190043108Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to techniques generating a database of virtual families for real-time generation of part numbers for configurable products. For instance, certain example embodiments may include receiving a search request for part numbers and determining virtual families including entities matching the search request. The number of matching products matching the search request and the part numbers may be determined based on the virtual families and the independent groups stored in the virtual families that match the search request. The part numbers may be determined based on allowed characters, number and/or symbols for the part number positions defined in the independent groups of the virtual families including the entities matching the one or more configurable properties of the user input search request. Facet counts for the configurable product may also be determined based on the results of the user input search request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Lukasz Marcin RESZCZYNSKI, Geoffrey Peter LAYCOCK

Publication number: 20190045305Abstract: Adaptive performance software, operating on a computing device, may be used to control an adaptive loudspeaker system within a venue. In some embodiments, the adaptive performance software may receive a selection of a target area within the venue. The adaptive performance software may then determine a smallest affected zone that includes the target area, and may present the smallest affected zone to the user to indicate what the affected area for the requested changes would be. In some embodiments, the adaptive performance software may take the shape of the venue, the capabilities of the loudspeaker array as configured and flown in the venue, and/or the specific setting changes which are desired in order to determine the smallest affected zone that includes the selected area.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: LOUD Audio, LLC.Inventors: Geoffrey Peter McKinnon, Nathan Butler, Adam David Maxwell Shulman
