Patent number: 11894943Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting remote network devices. In one embodiment, the method comprises detecting an event and a) transmitting a message requesting a response from one or more remote network devices, the message comprising a first network identification code, and b) determining whether a response to the message has been received, the response transmitted by a remote network device after receiving the message and determining that the first network identification code matches a second network identification code stored within the remote network device, the response comprising identification information of the remote network device. If c) a response has not been received, terminating the method for detecting remote network devices if a pre-determined time period has elapsed since transmitting the message. If d) a response has been received, storing identification information associated with the responding remote network device and repeating steps a-d until no further responses are received.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Ecolink Intelligent Technology, Inc.Inventors: George Seelman, Michael Lamb, Michael Bailey, Jay Stone

Patent number: 10952687Abstract: A catheter and related X-ray imaging system for detection, tracking, and virtual image reconstruction is disclosed. The catheter and imaging system allow for the visualization of the catheter or a part of the catheter such as the tip during procedures that would otherwise obscure the catheter or part of the catheter from view. An example of such a procedure is the deployment of a coil in an aneurysm where the radiodense nature of many coil materials would otherwise make detection and tracking of the catheter tip difficult or impossible. The catheter has detectable markers that provide information to an imaging system regarding the coordinates of the catheter or catheter tip and the direction of the catheter tip during clinical procedures.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2016Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: University of RochesterInventors: Jonathan Jay Stone, Brenton Joseph LaRiccia
