  • Publication number: 20240382104
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to facilitate intra-operative procedures and planning. A method can include storing tracking data in memory, the tracking data being generated by a tracking system to represent a location of an object in a tracking coordinate system of the tracking system. The method can also include storing a patient-specific implicit model in memory, the patient-specific implicit model being generated based on image data acquired for the patient to define geometry of an anatomical structure of the patient. The method can also include registering the tracking data and the patient-specific implicit model in a common three-dimensional coordinate system. The method can also include generating an output visualization representing a location of the object relative to the geometry of the anatomical structure of the patient in the common coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 12109005
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aiding, supplementing, and/or increasing the monitoring capabilities of responsible persons over a supervised person are disclosed herein. In some implementations, the system includes one or more controlling persons, one or more supervising persons, a supervised person, and a cloud server. Each of the controlling persons and the supervising persons can have a personal electronic device. The supervised person can have a wearable electronic device. The electronic devices allow the controlling persons and the supervising persons to actively communicate with the cloud server to upload data related to the supervised person that is accessibly stored in the cloud server. In turn, the wearable device can include one or more sensors to measure and communicate various bioindicators to the cloud server. The system allows the controlling persons to monitor the health of, development of, and/or current control over the supervised person.

  • Patent number: 12100282
    Abstract: An occurrence of one or more “care events” is detected by an electronic device monitoring environmental data and/or user data from one or more sensors. The electronic device transmits one or more alerts regarding the detected occurrence to at least one other electronic device. In some cases, the electronic device may cooperate with at least one other electronic device in monitoring, detecting, and/or transmitting. For example, the electronic device may detect the occurrence based on sensor data received from a cooperative electronic device or such data in combination with the electronic device's sensor data. By way of another example, the electronic device may detect the occurrence and signal a cooperative electronic device to transmit one or more alerts.

  • Publication number: 20240066174
    Abstract: A diffuser made of thermoform molded pulp in a desired shape, such as a hanging ornament, having features to secure a wicking part of the diffuser to a rounded bottle opening filled with an oil fragrance. To insert the diffuser, a cap is unscrewed from a bottle filled with oil fragrance, and the wicking part is inserted through the opening of the bottle until it rests on the interior bottom of the bottle. A rotatable capping feature is featured at the top of the wicking part, which is closed during insertion of the wicking part to prevent accidental spillage and loss oil due to evaporation. The wicking element draws the oil fragrance into the ornamental diffusing part by capillary action.
