Patent number: 10416427Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an image of object, for example an optical section of a sample, are disclosed. The image includes a plurality of scan lines to be acquired. The method includes, for a current one of the scan lines to be acquired, a step of determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line. The method also includes a step of acquiring the current scan line along a scan path in accordance with a variable scan speed profile including at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component elsewhere along the scan path.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: INSTITUT NATIONAL D'OPTIQUEInventors: Rob Brown, Jean-Pierre Bouchard

Publication number: 20140006055Abstract: A machine-based system for managing a medical evaluation is provided that includes a memory that has stored a first image taken by a user. A provider views the first image to conduct a medical evaluation. A processor is communicatively coupled to the memory and sends a request to the user to provide a second image for purposes of further conducting the medical evaluation after viewing of the first image by the provider. In some arrangements, the memory may store a condition history.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Inventors: Mark Seraly, Larry Eakin, Scott Focer, Martin Shelly, Mark Lotter, Melissa Kovach, John Catlos, Phil Kossler, Rob Brown, Ben Ritter, Donald Lee Steward, Ed Digregory, James Hanlon

Publication number: 20090163920Abstract: A medical device, method and system are provided for stabilizing and/or for fusing bone material, such as vertebra of the spine. The medical device (fusion device) has a pair of clamp members and an optional anchor member that cooperate to securely attach the fusion device to a facet joint of the spine. The fusion device may slide down a guide wire and driven into facet bone material of a facet joint. The clamp members may be pivoted together to grip adjacent bone facets and promote their fusion. Further features include injecting flowable bone fusion material between adjacent bone facets gripped by the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: Stephen Hochschuler, Dennis Colleran, Scott Schorer, Rob Brown
