  • Patent number: 11684337
    Abstract: A tracking, and point-of-view-based imaging, device is configured for deriving a position of, and a direction from, a location at a distal tip of an elongated instrument, for performing coordinate system transformation in accordance with the position and direction, and for forming, from the location and based on a result of the transformation, a local view that moves with the tip. The device can keep, with the movement, a field of view of the local view fixed but the local view otherwise in synchrony with the position and the direction. From real-time ultrasound imaging, the local view and a more overall view that includes the tip but which does not move with said tip can be displayed. The distal tip can be that of a catheter and can be outfitted with a micromanipulator for surgery aided interactively by the combination of dynamic local and overall imaging.

  • Publication number: 20160183911
    Abstract: A tracking, and point-of-view-based imaging, device (300) is configured for deriving a position of and a direction from, a location at a distal tip (106) of an elongated instrument (102), for performing coordinate system transformation in accordance with the position and direction, and for forming, from the location and based on a result of the transformation, a local view (120) that moves with the tip. The device can keep, with the movement, a field of view (128) of the local view fixed but the local view otherwise in synchrony with the position and the direction. 126 From real-time ultrasound imaging, the local view and a more overall view that includes the tip but which does not move with said tip can be displayed. The distal tip can be that of a catheter and can be outfitted with a micromanipulator for surgery aided interactively by the combination of dynamic local and overall imaging.

  • Publication number: 20120179281
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to systems and methods for designing and manufacturing dentures. More particularly, in certain embodiments, the invention relates to a system for preparing a denture base plate. The system includes a user interface and a design application for creating a virtual model, and a manufacturing apparatus for fabricating a denture base plate corresponding to the virtual model. In other embodiments, an apparatus is provided that includes a graphical interface and a design application for selecting a set of virtual denture teeth and placing and adjusting the virtual denture teeth in relation to each other and a virtual denture base plate.

  • Patent number: 7443544
    Abstract: A method and device for accelerating a color conversion process that converts input image data corresponding to a first color space to output image data corresponding to an output color space. A temporary cache stores color information in an array, and performs a conversion calculation for each individual color combination. If a pixel corresponds to a new color combination, the pixel information is stored in a new index of the array. If the pixel repeats a previously processed color, the pixel information is stored in the same index of the array as the previously processed pixel. A color conversion calculation is performed after all pixels within a block of pixels are mapped to the temporary array.

  • Publication number: 20040175943
    Abstract: A system and method is described for detecting the presence of spatial non-randomness in semiconductor wafer map data comprised of a computer or embedded processor with the ability to interpret and extract the two-dimensional position of events defined in the data; a set of sub-regions of the wafer; a program for calculating multiple chi-squared values, each testing the null hypothesis that events counted inside a sub-region are random and in proportion to the area of the sub-region; a method for sending the result values to a destination, either inserted into the original data or as a separate result record; and a mechanism for testing the results to see if they satisfy an alarm condition and generating an appropriate response.
