Patent number: 11872005Abstract: A system and process is provided for dynamically positioning or repositioning a robot in a surgical context based on workspace and task requirements, manipulator requirements, or user preferences to execute a surgical plan. The system and method accurately determines and indicates an optimal position for a robot with respect to a patient's anatomy before or during a surgical procedure. Optimal positions for a robot are intuitively indicated to a user. surgical procedures can illustratively include surgery to the knee joint, hip joint, spine, shoulder joint, elbow joint, ankle joint, jaw, a tumor site, joints of the hand or foot, and other appropriate surgical sites.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Think Surgical Inc.Inventors: Saleh Tabandeh, Joel Zuhars, Daniel Patrick Bonny, Timothy Pack, Randall Hanson, Michael Hoppe, Nathan A.

Patent number: 11263358Abstract: Introduced herein is a platform with multiple graphical user interfaces (GUI) for rapidly designing, editing, and sharing of a three-dimensional (3-D) design. A GUI can include a menu with add-on elements and a display interface to depict the 3-D design. A user can select add-on elements to build a 3-D design, view the environment at different angles, and interact in other ways with the 3-D design. Additionally, the platform enables multiuser collaboration within a collaboration GUI to allow for input from multiple users. The platform generates a join code which can be shared with multiple users and is associated with the collaboration GUI. A user can join the multiuser collaboration to view and edit the 3-D design simultaneously with multiple users. Each user can view the 3-D at their own angle and view each other's edits in real time.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: GEOPOGOInventors: Michael Hoppe, George Dean, David Don Alpert

Publication number: 20180187912Abstract: A user interface for an HVAC controller includes an electronic display and a proximity sensor for sensing a position of a user relative to the electronic display. A display controller is operably coupled to the electronic display and the proximity sensor and is configured to display one or more display elements on the electronic display. In some embodiments, a location of one or more of the display elements on the electronic display may be based, at least in part, on the position of the user sensed by the proximity sensor. In some embodiments, a size of one or more of the display elements on the electronic display may be based, at least in part, on the position of the user sensed by the proximity sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Michael Hoppe, Daniel Murr, Patrick Hudson
