Patent number: 11921207Abstract: A light detection and ranging system arranged to scan a scene is provided. A light source outputs light having a first characteristic. A spatial light modulator receives output light from the light source and outputs spatially-modulated light in accordance with computer-generated holograms represented thereon. A light detector receives light having the first characteristic from the scene and outputs a light response signal. A holographic controller is arranged to output a plurality of computer-generated holograms to the spatial light modulator. Each computer-generated hologram is arranged to form structured light having a corresponding pattern within the scene. The holographic controller is further arranged to change the pattern of the structured light formed by at least one of the plurality of computer-generated holograms.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Envisics LtdInventors: Jamieson Christmas, Paul Whiting

Patent number: 10136898Abstract: A narrow profile surgical ligation clip has two legs with clamping surfaces joined by a hinge near the proximal ends, allowing the clip to reversibly open and close. A locking mechanism is proximal to the hinge to bias or lock the clip closed, including first and second jaw structures spaced on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the clip thereby defining a locking space therebetween. In one embodiment, a wedge or buttress body moves by application of an external force applied to a proximal end of the clip towards the hinge to move into the locking space such that one or more outer surfaces or projections of portions of the body fit into or abut against complementary surfaces or other parts of the locking mechanism or clip assembly to bias or lock the clip in a closed position and provide additional closing force to the inner clamping surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: TELEFLEX MEDICAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Philip Schmidt, Dan Monahan, Brad Labarbera, Paul Whiting, Steven Morris, Salvatore Castro, Michael Ramsey, Lynn Willett
