  • Publication number: 20230081244
    Abstract: A surgical system for computer assisted navigation during surgery, includes at least one processor that obtains a 3D radiological representation of a targeted anatomical structure of a patient and a set of fiducials of a registration fixture. The operations attempt to register locations of the set of fiducials in the 3D radiological representation to a 3D imaging space tracked by a camera tracking system. Based on determining one of the fiducials of the set has a location that was not successfully registered to the 3D imaging space, the operations display at least one view of the 3D radiological representation with a graphical overlay indicating the fiducial has not been successfully registered to the 3D imaging space, receive user-supplied location information identifying where the fiducial is located in the 3D radiological representation, and register the location of the fiducial to the 3D imaging space based on the user-supplied location information.

  • Patent number: 9796526
    Abstract: A waste collection receptacle, for example a receptacle in compliance with Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) regulations concerning the disposal of controlled substances, includes a housing and a waste-collection container therein. A chute directs waste deposited through an aperture in the housing into the waste-collection container. A fill sensor monitors the fill level of the waste-collection container. When the waste-collection container reaches a fill threshold, a controller sends a signal that electronically locks the aperture, thereby preventing additional waste from being deposited into the receptacle.
