  • Publication number: 20230252672
    Abstract: A method for use in the spatial registration of first and second objects comprises fixing the first and second objects to the same motion control stage in an unknown spatial relationship, using an imaging system to acquire an image of the first object, determining a position and orientation of the first object in a frame of reference of the motion control stage based at least in part on the acquired image of the first object, using the imaging system to acquire an image of the second object, and determining a position and orientation of the second object in the frame of reference of the motion control stage based at least in part on the acquired image of the second object.

  • Patent number: 10140893
    Abstract: A wristband device that is permanently installed over the human wrist until disassembled or destroyed by removing portions of multiple layers of removable tab layers of the wristband device. The device is composed of multiple layers of removable tab layers which have removable portions of the multiple layers that may be removed to disassemble the band in an intentional step by step fashion. Upon each removable portion of each layer to be removed, information is indicated on each side to provide regimented, step-by-step information to the wearer. At the end of the regimented endeavor, removal of the final removable portion of the removable tab layer or base band layer segments the band into two discrete edges signifying the end use of the device.
    Type: Grant
