Publication number: 20190096203Abstract: A security method and apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for providing an alarm for a window by a security apparatus comprises calculating a first distance between a detector mounted within a movable portion of the window and a window frame edge and calculating a second distance between the detector and the window frame edge. The method further comprises determining whether the movable portion of the window has remained stationary for more than a predetermined time period based on the first distance and the second distance and, if the movable portion has remained stationary for more than the predetermined time period, storing the second distance in a memory, placing the security apparatus into an active alarm state, calculating a third distance observed by the detector, determining a change between the third distance and the second distance, determining whether the change exceeds a predetermined distance, and generating an alarm signal if the change exceeds the predetermined distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventors: George Seelman, Michael Bailey, Jay Stone, Michael Lamb, Thomas Thibault

Publication number: 20160256120Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: University of RochesterInventors: Jonathan Jay Stone, Brenton Joseph LaRiccia
