Patent number: 11660157Abstract: A medical navigation system is provided for controlling medical equipment during a medical procedure. The medical navigation system includes a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, an RFID sensor for detecting the passive RFID tag, a controller coupled to the RFID sensor, and a robotic arm having an end effector and controlled by the controller. The RFID sensor provides a signal to the controller indicating presence of an activated passive RFID tag. The passive RFID tag has an antenna, an RFID circuit, and a switching device coupled to the RFID circuit for activating the passive RFID tag. The passive RFID tag is used to control a payload attached to the end effector.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Inventors: Kresimir Franjic, Kai Hynna, Joshua Richmond

Patent number: 11416995Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing patient registration. 3D scan data from a 3D scanner, preoperative image data, first tracking data from a first tracking system, and second tracking data from a second tracking system are mapped to a common coordinate space. The 3D scan data and the first tracking data are mapped to each other using a transformation that is determined based on a calibration relating the 3D scan coordinate space and the tracking coordinate space. The 3D scan data and the preoperative image data are mapped to each other using a surface matching algorithm. The first tracking data and the second tracking data are mapped to each other based on tracking of the patient reference device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: SYNAPTIVE MEDICAL INC.Inventors: Kirusha Srimohanarajah, Dorothy Lui, Gal Sela, Kai Hynna, Shysta Ismaili, Samson Ng, Jakub Jankowski

Patent number: 10575921Abstract: A camera system for providing images with simultaneous high resolution and large depth of field is provided. The system includes: a camera device having a field of view, the camera device configured to automatically acquire: a first image of the field of view at a first numerical aperture; and a second image of the field of view at a second numerical aperture smaller than the first numerical aperture; an image processing unit configured to combine the first image with the second image into a single image by: extracting a higher-resolution in-focus portion of the first image; and replacing a corresponding lower-resolution portion of the second image with the higher-resolution in-focus portion of the first image; and, a display device in communication with the image processing unit, the display device configured to render the single image.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: SYNAPTIVE MEDICAL (BARBADOS) INC.Inventors: Kresimir Franjic, Kai Hynna, Yanhui Bai, Michael Frank Gunter Wood, Michael Peter Bulk, Tammy Kee-Wai Lee
