  • Patent number: 11969273
    Abstract: A medical imaging system for detecting ionizing radiation. The system includes one or more pixilated imagers positioned to acquire patient image data and one or more position sensors positioned to acquire patient position data. Once the patient image data and patient position data are acquired, one or more processors operably connected to each of the one or more pixilated imagers and one or more position sensors calculate a three-dimensional mass distribution based on patient image data and patient position data.

  • Patent number: 11948692
    Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to enabling determination of a predicted surgical efficacy of a proposed surgical intervention and a predicted pattern of post-operative recovery for the patient. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a system that can analyze the patient data of a plurality of patients data, generate analytics data indicating the post-operative recovery of the plurality of patients, and store the analytics data in association with the biological traits of the patients and the types of surgical interventions that the patients had. Subsequently, the system can analyze the patient traits and activity data of a patient, and output, based on the previously generated analytics data, a prediction of how efficacious a given surgical intervention might be for that patient and/or how the patient might recover from the given surgical intervention.

  • Patent number: 10921611
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a display system that may comprise a retro-reflective screen configured to reflect incident light along a direction that is opposite to the direction of propagation of the incident light, and a projector that may project light characterizing an image or video to the retro-reflective screen. An array of optical elements or an individual optical element may be positioned between the retro-reflective screen and the projector. The array of optical elements or individual optical element may direct the light from the projector to the retro-reflective screen in a manner such that the image or video is viewable by a user at an observation angle of at least about 2 degrees.

  • Patent number: 10775625
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to enable significant improvements in display systems utilizing projectors and a retro-reflective (RR) screen through use of transparent or semi-transparent RR material. An aspect of the present disclosure provides methods for optimization of optical properties of the RR material to achieve desired optical transparency parameters. Another aspect of the present disclosure provides methods for specific use cases for flexible, transparent and semi-transparent RR display systems.

  • Publication number: 20200241408
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a display system comprising a retro-reflective screen having retro-reflective screen elements that reflect incident light. Each of the retro-reflective screen elements can include three intersecting planes. At least one of the three intersecting planes intersects an adjacent plane at an angle that is 90° with an offset greater than 0°. The display system can further include at least one projector that projects the light onto the retro-reflective, which light characterizes an image or video. The retro-reflective screen having the retro-reflective screen elements can reflect the light at a cross-talk that is decreased by at least 10% and/or an intensity that is increased by at least 5%, as compared to a retro-reflective screen with retro-reflective screen elements having planes that each intersects an adjacent plane at an angle of 90° without the offset.

  • Patent number: 10142620
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide a retro-reflective screen covered with a screen material. The retro-reflective screen has a plurality of retro-reflective screen elements positioned within the screen material. At least one of the plurality of retro-reflective screen elements is oriented so as to have an incident angle that is less than 45 degrees. Additionally, a portion of the screen material that corresponds to the at least one screen element has an incident angle that is greater than the incident angle of the at least one screen element. Additionally, the system also comprises at least one projector that (i) generates light characterizing an image or video and (ii) projects the light onto the retro-reflective screen.
