  • Patent number: 11432619
    Abstract: One aspect of this disclosure is a method comprising: receiving, from a camera, a video feed depicting a pair of feet and a scaling object; capturing, with the camera, images of the feet and the scaling object based on the video feed; identifying foot features in each captured image; determining camera positions for each captured image by triangulating the foot features; generating a point cloud in a three-dimensional space by positioning each foot feature in the three-dimensional space based on the camera positions; scaling the point cloud based on the scaling object; segmenting the point cloud into at least a right-foot cluster and a left-foot cluster; fitting a first three-dimensional morphable model to the right-foot cluster according to first foot parameters; and fitting a second three-dimensional morphable model to the left-foot cluster according to second foot parameters. Related systems, apparatus, and methods also are described.

  • Patent number: 11406519
    Abstract: An aneurysm bridging device can be placed in the neurovasculature of a patient by advancing the aneurysm bridging device in a small-diameter configuration a delivery catheter to a target region within the neurovasculature and securing the distal region of the aneurysm bridging device to the neurovasculature. While the distal region of the aneurysm bridging device is secured to the neurovasculature, the proximal region of the aneurysm bridging device can be advanced to permit the aneurysm bridging device to expand from the small-diameter configuration and to deform and twist in a central region of the aneurysm bridging device. The proximal region of the aneurysm bridging device can be secured within the neurovasculature to maintain the central region of the aneurysm bridging device in a deformed state.

  • Publication number: 20210321035
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method performable with an imaging device comprises selecting a frame from a video feed output with the imaging device during a movement of the imaging device relative to a body part and detecting the body part in the frame. If the body part is detected, a first process is performed comprising: calculating an azimuth angle of the imaging device relative to the body part, calculating a metering region for the body part, and measuring a motion characteristic of the movement. The method also involves qualifying the frame based on at least one of the azimuth angle and the motion characteristic. If the frame is qualified, a second process is performed comprising: adjusting a setting of the imaging device based on the metering region, capturing an image of the body part with the imaging device based on the setting, identifying a location of the image relative to the body part based on the azimuth angle, and associating the image with a reference to the location.

    Abstract: Techniques for developing software applications that call a virtualized computing environment are described. A graphical user interface is rendered that is operable to graphically depict a representation of an input, output, and operation based on user input data. Graphical depictions of the representation of the input, output, and operation are rendered. The rendered graphical depictions are associated with related executable code operable to execute functionality implementing the input, output, and operation and call services in the virtualized computing environment.
