  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUGMENTED REALITY BASED SURGICAL NAVIGATION
    Publication number: 20250099187
    Abstract: A computer-based surgical planning system determines locations of surgical instruments or implants relative to a coordinate system determined for a 2D or 3D model of at least a portion of a patient's anatomy. The planning system generates data, such as files or objects, from which holograms of the surgical instruments may be generated by a Mixed Reality (MR) or Augmented Reality (AR) device. The MR/AR device registers the patient's anatomy and anchors the holograms to the patient's anatomy relative to the coordinate system determined for the 2D or 3D model. The holograms include holograms of trajectories of screws for securing an implant to the patient's anatomy.

  • Breath Signal Estimation Using Point Cloud Data
    Publication number: 20250098987
    Abstract: Respiration data is measured from point cloud data containing points associated with an upper body of a user. A device may receive the point cloud data via a wired or wireless connection or may generate it from one or more image sensors integrated into the device. Movement of points associated with the upper body, or within a region of interest, may be measured to estimate a breath signal. The estimated breath signal may be further processed to derive values representative of the breath signal. The breath signal may be then provided to a given application or location.

  • AUTOMATICALLY LOCATING AND TRACKING A TRANSIENT OBJECT IN A HYDROCARBON WELL CONDUIT
    Publication number: 20250101862
    Abstract: A machine learning-based system for automatically locating and tracking a transient object in a conduit of interest associated with a hydrocarbon well operation. The system may train a machine learning model using pressure data received from a conduit monitoring system that operates by introducing a pressure wave into the fluid within a conduit and using a sensor to measure the magnitude of pressure waves reflected by a transient object in the conduit. The pressure data can be filtered to remove noise and focus on a frequency range of interest prior to being used to generate a training dataset for training the machine learning model. The machine learning model may be trained to generate a predictive model that can predict the location and movement of a transient object in a conduit of interest based on new pressure measurements associated with the conduit of interest.
