Patent number: 11911003Abstract: A computer-assisted surgical system simultaneously provides visible light and alternate modality images that identify tissue or increase the visual salience of features of clinical interest that a surgeon normally uses when performing a surgical intervention using the computer-assisted surgical system. Hyperspectral light from tissue of interest is used to safely and efficiently image that tissue even though the tissue may be obscured in the normal visible image of the surgical field. The combination of visible and hyperspectral images are analyzed to provide details and information concerning the tissue or other bodily function that were not previously available.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc.Inventors: Ian E. McDowall, Jeffrey M. DiCarlo, Brian D. Hoffman, William Jason Culman

Publication number: 20220240861Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for classifying SpO2 levels using smartphones are described. A wideband light source (e.g., a flash) may be used to illuminate a finger. A wideband imaging sensor (e.g., a camera) may be used to capture images of the illuminated finger. The smartphone may apply per-color channel gain adjustments to the captured images. The adjusted pixel data may be used as the basis of input to a classifier (e.g., a deep learning model). The classifier may be trained on ground truth data, such as from an induced hypoxia study. The classifier may output an SpO2 level blood in the finger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2021Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicants: University of Washington, The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Jason Hoffman, Shwetak N.

Patent number: 9690267Abstract: A power plant controller (36) is described. The power plant controller (36) controls a power generation system (10) having one or more power generators (12) and an energy storage system (22), and provides a utility grid or transmission system operator with the capability to select the droop response provided by the power generation system. Accordingly, an operator can request a specific generator droop response in order to provide appropriate frequency and grid control services. The power plant controller (36) operates in real time determining one or more power characteristics of the power generation system (10). Based on these characteristics and an indication of a future predicted power output for the power generation system, the power plant controller can take the necessary steps to ensure that the power generation system is capable of responding with the selected droop response, or can advise the operator that a different droop is preferred.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: VESTAS WIND SYSTEMS A/SInventors: Mohamed Haj-Maharsi, Jason Hoffman

Patent number: 9466034Abstract: Embodiments for determining an optimal configuration for a renewable energy power plant are provided. The power plant, which may be a virtual power plant, includes one or more generator devices and one or more energy storage devices that may be operated to undertake one or more operating applications. Data indicative of the power output of the power plant and the voltage level at the energy storage system connection point is received as an input. Using this data, combinations of energy storage devices and operating applications stored on a database are processed and, for each energy storage and operating application pair, a value indicative of the profitability of undertaking the operating application is determined. These values are used to rank the combinations of energy storage devices and operating applications according to their profitability, which in turn is used to select the most efficient or profitable application/energy storage pair.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Vestas Wind Systems A/SInventors: Daniel Viassolo, Sridhar Sahukari, Gerald Murphy, Bo Hesselbæk, Jianhui Zhang, Aditya Upadhye, Yonatan Abebe, Jason Hoffman, Juan Santos, Brett Rollow
