Patent number: 11779846Abstract: A method for analyzing a virtual object in a virtual environment includes obtaining an image of a first real-world object and transmitting, to a data processing system, the image of the first real-world object. The method includes creating a digital representation of the first real-world object and assigning local attributes to one or more portions of the digital representation corresponding to elements of the first real-world object. The method includes obtaining an image of an updated configuration of the first real-world object and transmitting, to the data processing system, the image of the updated configuration. The method includes creating, by the data processing system, a digital representation, of the updated configuration. The method includes comparing, by the data processing system, the digital representation of the first real-world object and the digital representation of the updated first real-world object to identify rearranged parts and assign local attributes.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: LEGO A/SInventors: Morgan James Walker, Jonathan B. Bennink, Henrik Munk Storm

Patent number: 10986989Abstract: A laryngoscope insertion section comprising a tube guide including at least an inferior tube guiding member and a superior tube guiding member, wherein the thickness of the insertion section in a first region is less than the external diameter of the largest diameter endotracheal tube in an operating range of endotracheal tube sizes plus the thickness of the inferior tube guiding member plus the thickness of the superior tube guiding member. Typically, the insertion section comprises an elongate member and the tube guide is lateral of the elongate member. Typically, an endotracheal tube is retained within the tube guide in flexural tension.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Aircraft Medical LimitedInventors: Matthew John Ross McGrath, Morgan James Walker

Patent number: 10524651Abstract: A laryngoscope insertion section for a laryngoscope, which is typically a video laryngoscope, includes a lateral tube guide configured to retain an endotracheal tube in a plane. A viewing port for a camera or other image collector is laterally displaced from the plane of the endotracheal tube. The said plane of the endotracheal tube is aligned substantially in the same plane as a patient's median plane and the tube can be advanced into the larynx using a natural curving motion similar to the motion used to introduce an endotracheal tube using a convention laryngoscope. In a preferred embodiment, the distal tip of the insertion section and a retained endotracheal tube will be located in the patient's median plane during intubation. As the tube guide retains endotracheal tubes substantially in a plane, lateral curvature is avoided, reducing resistance to advancement of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Aircraft Medical LimitedInventors: Matthew John Ross McGrath, Morgan James Walker
