  • SYSTEM, METHOD AND SOFTWARE PROGRAM FOR AIDING IN POSITIONING OF A CAMERA RELATIVE TO OBJECTS IN A SURGICAL ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20190321126
    Abstract: Systems, methods and software are provided for aiding in positioning of a camera relative to objects in a surgical environment. The camera has a 3D field of view and senses positions of the objects in the field of view. A controller is coupled to the camera and defines a first zone and a second zone within the field of view. Each zone defines a range of acceptable positions for one of the objects relative to a position of the camera. The controller receives the position of the objects. A graphical user interface displays image representations of: the field of view, the first zone relative to the field of view, the second zone relative to the field of view, the position of one object relative to the first zone, and the position of another object relative to the second zone.

  • MEMS sensor compensation for off-axis movement
    Patent number: 10421659
    Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor includes a MEMS layer that includes fixed and movable electrodes. In response to an in-plane linear acceleration, the movable electrodes move with respect to the fixed electrodes, and acceleration is determined based on the resulting change in capacitance. A plurality of auxiliary electrodes are located on a substrate of the MEMS sensor and below the MEMS layer, such that a capacitance between the MEMS layer and the auxiliary loads changes in response to an out-of-plane movement of the MEMS layer or a portion thereof. The MEMS sensor compensates for the acceleration value based on the capacitance sensed by the auxiliary electrodes.

  • ORTHOSIS FOR DEFORMITY CORRECTION
    Publication number: 20190262160
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of correction of spinal deformity that overcome current limitations by utilizing a dynamic, multi-segment torso orthosis that allows motion during wear. The disclosed embodiments utilize a series of elastically coupled segments that conform to the circumference of the torso of a patient. Adjustable elastic coupling mechanisms are utilized to create and alter forces and moments that are applied to the torso through the segments. These elastic coupling mechanisms also allow each circumferential segment to move relative to the other segments giving the brace dynamic capability.

  • MINERAL INSULATED COMBINED FLUX LOOP AND B-DOT WIRE
    Publication number: 20190214155
    Abstract: A combination flux loop and B-dot probe comprising a single mineral insulated cable having an outer sheath of, e.g., stainless steel or the like, and three (3) conductors positioned within the sheath and embedded in a mineral insulator such as, e.g., MgO. One of the conductors forms a flux loop having a single loop and second and third conductors forming a B-dot probe comprises a single wire having a double loop. The combination probe is configured to prevent twisting of the conductors along a curved bend as the combined probe is fashioned into a curved shape. To prevent twisting, the conductors may be formed as ribbon wires having a generally flat, rectangular shaped cross-section and/or the sheath may have a generally oval or rectangular shaped cross-section.

  • MEMS SENSOR WITH OFFSET ANCHOR LOAD REJECTION
    Publication number: 20190162538
    Abstract: A MEMS sensor includes a MEMS layer, a cap layer, and a substrate layer. The MEMS layer includes a suspended spring-mass system that moves in response to a sensed inertial force. The suspended spring-mass system is suspended from one or more anchors. The anchors are coupled to each of the cap layer and the substrate layer by anchoring components. The anchoring components are offset such that a force applied to the cap layer or the substrate layer causes a rotation of the anchor and such that the suspended spring-mass system substantially remains within the original MEMS layer.
