  • Publication number: 20240085902
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a handheld controller device includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The housing is configured to be held in the hands of a user. The trigger assembly includes a pair of triggers extending outward from a side of the handheld controller device and configured to move along respective trigger paths. The trigger assembly also includes a guide and coupling assemblies. The guide assembly is disposed inside the housing and includes, for each trigger, a channel that extends at least partially along the trigger path of the trigger. The coupling assembly is disposed inside the housing and is connected to the pair of triggers. The coupling assembly is configured to transfer motion between the pair of triggers such that, when one trigger moves towards the housing along its respective trigger path, the coupling assembly moves the other trigger away from the housing along its trigger path.

  • Publication number: 20240075314
    Abstract: A computing system comprising a central processing unit (CPU), and memory coupled to the CPU and having stored therein instructions that, when executed by the computing system, cause the computing system to execute operations to generate a radiation treatment plan. The operations include accessing a minimum prescribed dose to be delivered into and across the target, determining a number of beams and directions of the beams, and determining a beam energy for each of the beams, wherein the number of beams, the directions of the beams, and the beam energy for each of the beams are determined such that the entire target receives the minimum prescribed dose. The operations further include prescribing a dose rate and optimizing dose rate constraints for FLASH therapy, and displaying a dose rate map of the FLASH therapy.

  • Patent number: 10856130
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses automated discovery of and seamless connection to wireless receivers for mirroring, extending, and/or projecting images, audio, and/or video from a computing device to the wireless receivers. A smart discovery program discovers a specific wireless receiver that matches a location for a meeting and provides the user with an option to wirelessly connect to the matching receiver during the meeting. The smart discovery program may also use a current location of the computing device to provide a user with a list relevant wireless receivers. Relevant receivers may include those receivers that are both available and located near the computing device. When a computing device connects to a wireless receiver, it may store the receiver ID for the connected receiver in a local receiver log so that the computing device may use this information to connect to the same receiver at a later time.
