  • Patent number: 12016633
    Abstract: An AR headset is described to co-localize an image data set with a body of a person. The image data set of a portion of the body may be identified. The image data set can include a virtual anatomical marker to identify an anatomical location. A spatial location may be identified using a physical pointer object in a field of view of the AR headset. A spatial location of a visible anatomical feature as identified using the physical pointer object may be recorded. The registration may be triggered based on an input that the physical pointer object is located at a visible anatomical feature of the body of the person. Further, the image data set may be aligned with the body of the person using the spatial location recorded for the visible anatomical feature as referenced to the virtual anatomical marker in the image data set.

  • Patent number: 11989338
    Abstract: A technology is described for using a medical implement or a fluoroscopic image with reference to an image data set and a body of a person. A method may include detecting visual image data of a body of a patient and a medical implement. The optical codes on the body of the patient and on the medical implement may be identified. One operation is aligning the image data set with the body of the person using one or more optical codes on the body of the person and the fixed position of an image visible marker with respect to the optical code. A position of the medical implement with respect to the body of the person may be determined using one or more optical codes on the medical implement and the body of the person to reference the medical implement to the image data set and the body of the person.

  • Patent number: 11989341
    Abstract: An AR headset is described to co-localize an image data set with a body of a person. One method can include identifying optical codes with a contrast medium in a tubing on the body of the person using the AR headset. The image data set can be aligned with the body of the person using the fixed position of the image visible marker with the contrast medium in the tubing with respect to the optical code referenced to a representation of the image visible marker. In one configuration, an image data set can be scaled by comparing a measured size of the image visible marker (e.g., gadolinium tubing) in the captured image data set to the known size of the image visible marker. In addition, a center of an optical code may be identified to more accurately align the image data set with a body of a person.

  • Publication number: 20240144497
    Abstract: Technology is described for generating 3D spatial mappings. One operation may be receiving a 2D image of patient anatomy from a medical imaging device. Another operation may be identifying a placement of an imaging device in a 3D coordinate system of an augmented reality (AR) headset when capturing the 2D image. A graphical mark may be received from a user for a point within a body of a person in the 2D image. A 3D coordinate of the point in the 3D coordinate system may be computed using the position and orientation of the imaging device with respect to the AR headset and a depth of the point, in order to generate a 3D spatial mapping.

  • Patent number: 11972013
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for using information in conjunction with a data repository includes encrypting data associated with the information with an encryption key, sending at least the encrypted data to the data repository, and possibly deleting the information. The method also includes receiving a request for the information from a remote device, and sending a request for the encrypted data to the data repository. The method further includes receiving the encrypted data from the data repository, decrypting the encrypted data using the encryption key, and sending the information to the remote device.

  • Patent number: 11948265
    Abstract: A technology is described for aligning an image data set with a patient using an augmented reality (AR) headset. A method may include obtaining an image data set representing an anatomical structure of a patient. A two-dimensional (2D) X-ray generated image of at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient in the image data set and a visible marker may be obtained. The image data set can be aligned to the X-ray generated image by using data fitting. A location of the visible marker may be defined in the image data set using alignment with the X-ray generated image. The image data set may be aligned with a body of the patient, using the visible marker in the image data set as referenced to the visible marker seen on the patient through the AR headset.

  • Patent number: 11897019
    Abstract: A retainer assembly includes a retaining member assembly and a motion assembly. The retaining member assembly is structured to selectively retain at least one shell in a transfer belt assembly belt recess. The retaining member assembly includes a retaining member. The motion assembly is structured to move the retaining member between a first position, wherein the retaining member is spaced from the transfer belt assembly transfer belt, and, a second position, wherein the retaining member is disposed a retaining distance from the transfer belt assembly transfer belt.

  • Publication number: 20240022431
    Abstract: A method for disabling a device associated with a virtual identity may include receiving, from the device, a request to use the virtual identity, where the request that may include a passcode guess and a device identifier. The method may also include determining that the passcode guess does not authorize use of the virtual identity and incrementing a number of incorrect passcode guesses received within a time interval. The method may additionally include determining that the number of incorrect passcode guesses received within the time interval is greater than or equal to a threshold. The method may further include storing an indication that subsequent requests associated with the device identifier should not authorize use of the virtual identity.

  • Patent number: 11872749
    Abstract: A system and method of additively manufacturing a part via salt micro-spheres. The method includes mixing salt micro-spheres with an additive manufacturing material to form an additive manufacturing material mixture. The additive manufacturing material mixture is deposited on a build platform layer by layer and cured so as to create a structure having pores formed by the salt micro-spheres. The salt micro-spheres may then be dissolved and flushed from the pores.

  • Patent number: 11731710
    Abstract: The purpose of this device is to reduce the fuel consumption of heavy trucks by improving airflow past trailer axles. Rather than restrict airflow to the side of the vehicle, diffusers streamline its aerodynamic profile and allow air to flow smoothly beneath. A series of panels mounted to each axle of a truck and trailer forms a substantially continuous surface from the front to the rear axle, promoting laminar flow to the aft of the vehicle, minimizing the effect of suction drag.

  • Publication number: 20230173501
    Abstract: A tool for feeding material into a mill having a roller and forming a nip gap. The tool broadly comprises a baseplate, a guide plate, and a ram. The baseplate is configured to be positioned on the mill over the roller and forms a slot. The guide plate is configured to be positioned in the slot of the baseplate near the nip gap. The guide plate forms a chute for feeding the material into the nip gap. The ram is configured to be inserted into the chute to urge the material into the nip gap while preventing a user's fingers and other foreign objects from nearing the nip gap through the chute.
