Patent number: 11961952Abstract: A secondary battery is provided for cycling between a charged and a discharged state, the secondary battery including a battery enclosure, an electrode assembly, carrier ions, a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte within the battery enclosure, and a set of electrode constraints. The set of electrode constraints includes a primary constraint system having first and second primary growth constraints and at least one primary connecting member, the first and second primary growth constraints separated from each other in the longitudinal direction, wherein the primary constraint array restrains growth of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction such that any increase in the Feret diameter of the electrode assembly in the longitudinal direction over 20 consecutive cycles of the secondary battery is less than 20%.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Enovix CorporationInventors: Robert S.

Patent number: 11954243Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) device can be configured to generate a virtual representation of a user's physical environment. The AR device can capture images of the user's physical environment to generate or identify a user's location. The AR device can project graphics at designated locations within the user's environment to guide the user to capture images of the user's physical environment. The AR device can provide visual, audible, or haptic guidance to direct the user of the AR device to explore the user's environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: Amy Dedonato, James Cameron Petty, Griffith Buckley Hazen, Jordan Alexander Cazamias, Karen Stolzenberg

Patent number: 11952001Abstract: Driving simulations may be generated based on driving log data and used to validate autonomous vehicle safety systems. A driving simulation system may receive driving log data from autonomous vehicles and determine events which caused a vehicle to diverge from a planned trajectory. Driving simulations may be generated based on the driving log data, and executed using a simulated vehicle that follows the initial planned trajectory of the autonomous vehicle. The driving simulations may be analyzed to detect potential collisions and near misses, and to determine success conditions for the behaviors of vehicle safety systems. Driving simulations and associated success conditions may be aggregated and used in validation suites for vehicle controllers and/or vehicle safety systems, thereby providing more comprehensive and robust autonomous vehicle validation based on real-world driving scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ZOOX, INC.Inventors: Chuang Wang, Leonardo Poubel Orenstein, Tod Cameron Semple, James Graham Dolan, Takahiro Baba, Matthew Lotocki

Patent number: 11944325Abstract: A system for robotic surgery makes use of an end-effector which has been configured so that a drill connected thereto is guided in its trajectory and limited in its advancement into an associated anatomical feature by a drill guide. The drill guide may be adjusted manually to engage a corresponding surface of the drill after its advancement by a pre-selected amount. The drill guide likewise includes features to guide the drill during trajectories having oblique angles relative to the surface of the anatomical feature associated with the medical procedure.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Hayden Cameron, Spiros Mantzavinos, Neil R.

Patent number: 11877872Abstract: A cable retraction system, useful at least in vital signs monitoring systems, rolls sensors cables and tubes on rotary spring spools, inside a protective enclosure, for storage. The cables and tubes along with the sensors can easily be pulled out for use and then retracted back into the enclosure as required. This eliminates tangled cables and tubes and provides protection for the sensors by not being on dangling long cables when not in use.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Inventor: James Cameron Dodds

Patent number: 11741917Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a cursor and a focus indicator associated with real or virtual objects in a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environment by a wearable display device are disclosed. The system can determine a spatial relationship between a user-movable cursor and a target object within the environment. The system may render a focus indicator (e.g., a halo, shading, or highlighting) around or adjacent objects that are near the cursor. The focus indicator may be emphasized in directions closer to the cursor and deemphasized in directions farther from the cursor. When the cursor overlaps with a target object, the system can render the object in front of the cursor (or not render the cursor at all), so the object is not occluded by the cursor. The cursor and focus indicator can provide the user with positional feedback and help the user navigate among objects in the environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: MAGIC LEAP, INC.Inventors: John Austin Day, Lorena Pazmino, James Cameron Petty, Paul Armistead Hoover, Chris Sorrell, James M.
