  • Patent number: 11947735
    Abstract: A head-worn computer includes a camera system positioned to capture a surrounding environment in front of a user, a processor that identifies a position of a plurality of light emitters mounted on a hand-held controller from images captured by the camera system and tracks the position of the plurality of light emitters as the hand-held controller moves in the surrounding environment and interprets the tracked position as positional changes of the hand-held controller. The processor uses the position of the plurality of light emitters as markers in three dimensional space, the markers used as an anchor for virtual content presented in a see-through display of the head-worn computer.

  • Publication number: 20240099570
    Abstract: Devices for maintaining a telescope during a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique such as laparoscopy or thoracoscopy. A telescope maintenance assembly is comprised of a disc and a dome. The disc is absorbent and includes a central aperture. The dome is hollow and includes an inlet port, a lower protrusion, and outlet ports which abut against the disc when attached thereto. To prepare the assembly for use, the disc is secured about a proximal port of a trocar and the lower protrusion is inserted through the central aperture, and an anti-fog solution is transmitted into and through the dome to wet the disc. After the disc is wetted, the wetted disc can be used by a surgeon or assistant to wipe debris from a lens or other optical component of the telescope without needing to remove the telescope from the trocar.

  • Publication number: 20240103118
    Abstract: A method for mapping a surface using signals transmitted from a single transmitter comprises: receiving signals transmitted from the single transmitter, where each signal has a different propagation path; determining a motion of an antenna of the receiver; generating phasor sequences, where each phasor sequence represents a hypothesis based on antenna motion and a direction of arrival estimate for each received signal; compensating the received signals, local signals, or correlation results from correlating the received signals with the local signals using the phasor sequences based on the hypotheses to generate compensated correlation results; determining a preferred hypothesis in the hypotheses for each received signal that optimizes each correlation result; identifying a direction of arrival for each received signal using the determined hypothesis; determining a point of reflection from the direction of arrival of each received signal; and combining the points of reflection into one or more reflective surf

  • Publication number: 20240095718
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling facilities to implement techniques to determine when users are in possession of items when located within and/or exiting the facilities. For instance, a system may use one or more sensors to determine locations of a user that navigated through a facility. Additionally, the system may use one or more sensors to determine locations of an item while the item was located within the facility. The system may then determine a probability that the user was in possession of the item when in the facility and/or when exiting the facility based at least in part on the locations of the user and the locations of the item. If the system determines that the user was in possession of the item when exiting the facility, the system may charge a payment instrument of the user for a price of the item.
