  • Patent number: 11961193
    Abstract: Method for controlling a display of a mixed reality display device, wherein source and target point clouds representing a treatment objects surface are generated from image data and from medical imaging data of the treatment object. A number of segmentation masks are determined in the point clouds by applying semantic segmentation. A transformation between the source point cloud and the target point cloud is determined using the segmentation masks, and at least a part of the medical imaging data is superimposed on the treatment object using the determined transformation.

  • Patent number: 8242376
    Abstract: A circuitized substrate in which two conductive layers (e.g., electroplated copper foil) are bonded (e.g., laminated) to an interim dielectric layer. Each of the two foil surfaces which physically bond to the dielectric are smooth (e.g., preferably by chemical processing) and include a thin, organic layer thereon, while the outer surfaces of both foils are also smooth (e.g., preferably also using a chemical processing step). One of these resulting conductive layers may function as a ground or voltage plane while the other may function as a signal plane with a plurality of individual signal lines as part thereof. An electrical assembly and an information handling system utilizing such a circuitized substrate are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080111655
    Abstract: This disclosure discusses a means of generating a magnetic field around a device such that it can interact with the geomagnetic field of the earth in such a manner to develop a net lift against the pull of gravity. A flow of electric current is directed in a manner that exposes only a part of the magnetic field while the balance is sequestered within the device and shielded from exposure to the geomagnetic field. Hence an object can be lifted off the surface of the earth by electromagnetic means alone without the need for interacting with the atmosphere, as in airplanes, or the need for the expulsion of material as in chemical rockets. The magnetic flotation device can be likened to a gas-filled balloon except that the buoyancy is provided by the interaction of magnetic fields, not gas density.

  • Patent number: 6618940
    Abstract: A high density printed wiring board is prepared by applying an essentially solid material into plated through holes such that the metallized layers within the through hole are unaffected by chemical metal etchants. In this manner, lateral surface metallized layers can exclusively be reduced in thickness by use of said chemical agents. These thinned lateral surface metallized layers are ultimately converted into fine pitch, 25 to 40 microns, circuitry, thereby providing high density boards. Since the through hole wall metallization is unaffected by the etching process, excellent electrical connection between the fine line circuitry is obtained. Various printed wiring board embodiments are also presented.

  • Patent number: 6547974
    Abstract: A printed circuit board is produced by patterning a resist layer according to a circuit mask that defines desired circuit paths. The resist pattern layer is formed by removing the resist from the board in the desired circuit paths and a conductive material is plated onto the board in the resist voids defined by the circuit mask so that the height of the conductive material relative to the substrate equals or exceeds the height of the resist layer relative to the substrate. A low-reactive solution is applied over the conductive material and removes a surface portion of the conductive material. As the solution removes the conductive layer, it forms a film barrier and the solution composition changes, both of which substantially inhibits any further removal of the conductive material. Next, the film barrier is removed from the board allowing another film barrier to form stimulating the removal of further conductive material.
