Patent number: 11436806Abstract: Systems and methods are described to render a Live Avatar View third-person view as an overlay of a first person Spectator View, as mirrored from a Virtual Reality headset, in a Dual Perspective View. In some embodiments, a clinician tablet may display Dual Perspective View with a full screen Spectator View, to maximize visibility, and render a translucent avatar from Live Avatar View (LAV) to overlay the Spectator View for simultaneous visibility during a therapy session. Spectator View may be critical to monitor for therapy guidance and an LAV conveys valuable movement and safety data. A translucent avatar overlay and activity cues allows monitoring the avatar from Live Avatar View in a way that would not block the Spectator View or occlude other body parts potentially hidden.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: PENUMBRA, INC.Inventor: Howard Steven Katz

Patent number: 10010877Abstract: A process has been developed for preparing a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst precursor and a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst made from the precursor. The process includes preparing a catalyst precursor by contacting a boehmite material with a stabilizer containing vanadium-phosphorus. The boehmite material includes two or more different crystalline boehmites having the same average crystallite size to the nearest whole nanometer and having differing properties selected from surface area, pore volume, density and combinations thereof. The boehmite material is subjected to at least one heat treatment at a temperature of at least 500° C., either before or after the contacting step to obtain a stabilized catalyst support having a pore volume of at least 0.3 cc/g. A catalytic metal or a compound containing cobalt is applied to the stabilized catalyst support to form the catalyst precursor. Finally, the catalyst precursor is reduced to activate the catalyst precursor to obtain the Fischer Tropsch catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Chevron U.S.A.
