  • Publication number: 20220354738
    Abstract: Techniques and devices for extending a piston and/or compression unit, for example connected to a medical device such as a mechanical CPR device, to accommodate different sized patients, are described herein. In some cases, a piston of a mechanical CPR device may include an inner piston at least partially slidable into an external piston sleeve. In one aspect, some aspects, the piston includes sleeves which can move relative to each other to extend the piston. In additional aspects, the compression mechanism may also extend downward toward the patient. In all aspects, the change in length of the piston may be detected and used to modify movement of the piston, for example to more safely perform mechanical CPR.

  • Patent number: 11449189
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system is described that enables users to create, model, and visualize augmented reality experiences at physical, real-world locations, without needing to physically be at the location for which the augmented experience is being modeled. In one example, the VR system includes a head-mounted device (HMD), an augmented reality content development system, and a rendering engine. The HMD is configured to output VR content representing a physical environment for an augmented reality experience. The augmented reality content development system is configured to identify, based on an input, augmented reality content with which to augment the physical environment for the augmented reality experience. The rendering engine is configured to render, via the HMD, the VR content representing the physical environment, augmented with the augmented reality content.

  • Patent number: 11385789
    Abstract: Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for interacting with displayed items. A contact point can be established with a surface of a contact panel and the contact panel can be operated in a navigation mode during which a selection element, for selecting one or more items of a user interface (UI) in a display of a second device, is maintained at a determined location in the display. The UI can be moved in the display relative to the selection element as the selection element is maintained at the determined location, by moving the contact point on the surface of the contact panel in the navigation mode. At least one item of the UI that is moved within a selection threshold of the selection element can be selected by removing the contact point with the contact panel.

  • Patent number: 10792215
    Abstract: A mechanism attached to a mechanical CPR device can be automatically attached to the patient's torso. The mechanical CPR device can extend the mechanism to a first position at which the mechanism comes into contact with the patient's torso. The mechanism can be further extended until a first threshold is reached. The mechanism can be retracted to the first position. The mechanism can be further retracted from the first position until a second threshold is exceeded. The mechanism can then be extended to a second point at which the second threshold is no longer exceeded. The mechanism may comprise a suction cup or sticker plate, and may be attached to an end of a piston of the mechanical CPR device.
