  • Patent number: 11918380
    Abstract: A minimally invasive examination device for assisting in the positioning of an interventional instrument in the body of a patient. The device allows improved positioning of an interventional instrument in the body of a patient. The device comprises: a coupling element on which at least one first sensor is arranged and that is coupled to a proximal end of the interventional instrument, as a result of which the first sensor is connected to the interventional instrument (16) via the coupling element, a signal detection and processing device that is connected to the first sensor in a wireless or wired manner so as to transmit signals, wherein the signal detection and processing device (20, 34) is designed to process the signals from the first sensor, and a display device that is designed to visually display processing results from the signal detection and processing device.

  • Publication number: 20220182688
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to video stream signal analysis are described herein. In a method, a first video stream configured with a first plurality of signals associated with inserting content may be determined. The first plurality of signals may be extracted from the first video stream and temporally compressed. A second video stream may be configured with the compressed first plurality of signals. Based on whether the compressed first plurality of signals caused any errors in processing the second video stream, it may be determined whether the uncompressed first plurality of signals are expected to cause any errors in processing the first video stream configured with the uncompressed first plurality of signals.

  • Patent number: 10237621
    Abstract: A method of operating a video services receiver involves the processing of video data for presentation on a display element associated with the video services receiver. During presentation of the video event, a screenshot command is received at the video services receiver. The screenshot command originates from a remote control device assigned to the video services receiver. In response to receiving the screenshot command, a currently displayed image on the display element is captured as a saved screenshot. The method continues by providing a screenshot sharing user interface for presentation on the display element. The user interface includes at least one interactive control to facilitate sharing of the saved screenshot from the video services receiver. The method continues by outputting the saved screenshot from the video services receiver in association with a selected sharing application.

  • Patent number: 5992587
    Abstract: A motorcycle disk brake rotor in the shape of an annular ring is (i) mounted to the motorcycles rear wheel at the outside of its annulus and (ii) swept by the yoke of a disk brake caliper that is mounted to the inside of the annulus. A belt pulley affixes at its exterior circumferential region--either rigidly or "floating"--the exterior annular region of the disk brake rotor which is in the shape of the annular ring. A motorcycle disk brake caliper assembly is anchored at one mounting point to the motorcycle's rear axle shaft, and at a second mounting point to the motorcycle's suspension swingarm, engages the disk brake rotor from the inside of its annulus. The combined disk brake and belt pulley assembly is compact and visually regularly appearing. It may suitably be stylized with the same pattern as are the wheels of the motorcycle.

  • Patent number: 5964312
    Abstract: A motorcycle's running, turn and/or stop lights are located in cavities at the ends of each leg of a "U" shape rear suspension swing arm. Lenses to each light are preferably integrated with the exterior contours of the swing arm, presenting illumination preferably to both the rear and the sides of the motorcycle. Connective wiring is preferably within the swingarm. The lenses are removable to expose both (i) axle nuts and (ii) axle adjustment screws, permitting full adjustment of both. The integrated swingarm and light assembly is completely compatible with, and may suitably be retrofitted to, existing motorcycles where it serves to present a sleek, smooth and compact appearance.
