System and method for the validation and quality assurance of computerized contours of human anatomy
Patent number: 11324968Abstract: A system and method for validating the accuracy of delineated contours in computerized imaging using statistical data for generating assessment criterion that define acceptable tolerances for delineated contours, with the statistical data being conditionally updated and/or refined between individual processes for validating delineated contours to thereby adjust the tolerances defined by the assessment criterion in the stored statistical data, such that the stored statistical data is more closely representative of a target population. In an alternative embodiment, a system and method for validating the accuracy of delineated contours in computerized imaging using machine learning for assessing delineated contours, with the machine learning training data being used to generate geometric attributes, and the geometric attributes used to construct intra- and interstructural geometric attribute distribution models to automatically detect contouring errors.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Washington UniversityInventors: Hsin-Chen Chen, Sasa Mutic, Jun Tan, Michael Altman, James Kavanaugh, Hua Li -

Patent number: 9908181Abstract: A compact oldham-type floating reamer holder with holder and reamer portions which transfer torque therebetween via a floating member. The floating reamer holder includes an elastic element which axially biases the holder and reamer portions. In an operative position, the floating reamer holder is configured to automatically enable angular misalignment, parallel misalignment and axial translation between the holder and reamer portion axes. In a non-operative position, the reamer portion axis is co-aligned with the holder portion axis. And the elastic element at least partially overlaps the reamer portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Iscar, Ltd.Inventors: Evgeny Samoilov, Michael Altman

Patent number: 9439525Abstract: A cup includes two compartments in a unitary structure: an upper compartment that holds the liquid drink and a lower compartment that has a configured slot to slide onto the edge of a plate. The upper compartment has an open top-end and a closed bottom-end just like any other cup. The open top-end is larger than the closed bottom-end so as to permit stacking multiple cups together. The lower compartment is connected below the closed bottom-end of the first compartment. The second compartment defines a configured slot or cut-out that is shaped to receive the edge of a plate and contact the bottom of the plate. The cut-out starts with a wide slot at the wall of the cup that transitions to a narrow slot within the cup. The narrow slot is intended for the edge of the plate. The wider slot contacts the bottom of the plate.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Inventor: Michael Altman
