  • Publication number: 20180120947
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying augmented reality clinical movements may use an augmented reality device to display aspects of a clinical movement. The systems and methods may use a motion capture device to capture the clinical movement. A method may include analyzing information about the clinical movement to determine a path of motion representative of at least a portion of the clinical movement. The method may automatically define a path region or a virtual target in an augmented reality environment overlaid on a real environment. The method may display the path region or the virtual target on an augmented reality display.

  • Patent number: 9948973
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for receiving a broadcast stream is provided. The apparatus is configured to receive key information and additional information through the broadcast stream, select one of a plurality of predetermined functions based on the additional information, and perform the selected function in response to a control signal identified by the key information. The additional information may include link information such as a URL or telephone number, and the function may be selected based on a type of the link information. In some embodiments, the link information may be extracted from audio-visual data of a selected programme, using optical character recognition. The apparatus may connect to a secondary device to transmit information to the secondary device, and may receive information relating to the selected programme from the secondary device.

  • Publication number: 20180096111
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for evaluating or predicting therapy adherence are generally described herein. A system may include a display and a processor connected to the display to provide a user interface, including a calendar with a plurality of activities of a protocol. The plurality of activities may include exercises, education, questionnaires, etc., which may be presented on particular days or at particular times. Patient adherence to the protocol may be determined, and the display may provide information related to the patient adherence to a clinician. The display may provide a prediction about future patient adherence. The processor may, based on a determination about future patient adherence or past patient adherence, automatically modify the protocol. After the protocol is modified, the calendar may be updated and the display may show the updated calendar.

  • Patent number: 9885285
    Abstract: A nacelle for a turbofan gas turbine engine is provided. An inner wall of the nacelle defines an air intake which directs air into the fan section of the engine. The intake has, in flow series, an intake lip, a throat and a diffuser. The diffuser has, in flow series, first and second flow conditioning sections over both of which the flow cross-sectional area of the diffuser increases with increasing downstream distance from the throat. In addition, over the second section the nacelle inner wall lies substantially on a surface of an oblique circular cone having an apex which is offset from the centerline of the engine.

  • Patent number: 8785524
    Abstract: A spray coatable adhesive composition used for bonding silicon dies to a rigid substrate, preferable a silicon substrate is disclosed. The adhesive composition includes an epoxy based resin, a thermal acid generator, a photoacid generator and a solvent. The epoxy based resin includes a mixture of a solid bisphenol A epoxy resin and a liquid or semi-liquid hydrogenated bisphenol A epoxy resin at a weight ratio ranging from about 80:20 to about 65:35. The adhesive composition has a low viscosity which allows it to be spray coated on a rigid substrate and form thin film adhesive which allows silicon dies to be bonded with precise placement on the silicon substrate.
