  • Patent number: 12420368
    Abstract: A method for removing a workpiece from the remainder of the workpiece supported in a bearing plane. The method includes moving the workpiece part, which is clamped between at least one ejector element of an ejection unit and at least one counter-holding element of a counter-holding unit, along a removal direction, and checking whether the workpiece part has been completely separated from the remainder of the workpiece during movement along the removal direction. The method is characterized by reducing or completely canceling the clamping of the workpiece part and subsequently resuming the clamping of the workpiece part if it is determined during checking that the workpiece part has not been completely separated from the remainder of the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20250235272
    Abstract: A method of planning a microwave ablation procedure includes uploading a pretreatment scan to a control system of an energy delivery system, displaying the pretreatment scan on a display of the control system, and analyzing the pretreatment scan and identifying a target tissue region that includes a disorder. The method further includes creating and graphically displaying a digital target area on the pretreatment scan, planning and graphically depicting on the pretreatment scan a target path for one or more planned ablation probes, and creating a planned ablation zone for each planned ablation probe based on user-selected parameters. The method further includes placing one or more actual ablation probes in the subject patient, obtaining a probe scan of the subject patient that detects the actual ablation probes, and assigning the planned ablation zone for the planned ablation probes to the actual probes.
