  • Publication number: 20240153644
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for multi-schema analysis of patient specific anatomical features from medical images. The system may receive medical images of a patient and metadata associated with the medical images indicative of a selected pathology, and automatically classify the medical images using a segmentation algorithm. The system may use an anatomical feature identification algorithm to identify one or more patient specific anatomical features within the medical images by exploring an anatomical knowledge dataset. A 3D surface mesh model may be generated representing the one or more classified patient specific anatomical features, such that information may be extracted from the 3D surface mesh model based on the selected pathology. Physiological information associated with the selected pathology for the 3D surface mesh model may be generated based on the extracted information.

  • Publication number: 20240138927
    Abstract: A registration fixture for use with a surgical navigation system for registration of medical images to a three-dimensional tracking space includes a base frame adapted to be mounted over a flat panel detector of an x-ray medical imaging device, and a side frame having optical tracking markers mounted to the base frame. The base frame includes a first set of radiopaque markers embedded therein in a first predetermined pattern and arranged on a plane, and a second set of radiopaque markers embedded therein in a second predetermined pattern also arranged on another plane, which is spaced from the first set of radiopaque markers. The side frame has a plurality of optical tracking markers and is configured to detachably mount to the base frame.

  • Patent number: 11972050
    Abstract: Instances of a single brain computer interface (BCI) system can be implemented on multiple devices. An active instance can control the associated device. The instances can each communicate with a neural decoding system that can receive neural signals from a user, process the neural signals, and output a command based on the processed neural signals. A device running the active instance of can be in communication with the neural decoding system to receive a command. The device can include a display, a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run an instance of a control program; and execute the task based on the command.

  • Publication number: 20240117529
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a process for producing polymer fibers, typically polyacrylonitrile-based fibers, the properties of which are controlled by certain parameters of the process, such as the amount of jet stretch, the amount of wet stretch, and the amount of hot stretch employed. The present disclosure also relates to a process for producing carbon fiber from such polymer fibers.

  • Patent number: 10783753
    Abstract: An electronic gaming table executes player-versus-player playing card games. The gaming table has a display screen where at least one random virtual playing card is virtually delivered to individual player positions for each of the multiple players. The electronic gaming table includes the display screen, a processor associated with memory, player input controls and a playing card masking element at each player position. The playing card masking system at each player position is positioned over an individual position that is a portion of the display screen where the processor directs delivery of the at least one random virtual playing card virtual face down. The playing card masking system includes a three-dimensional element having a visible light transmissive line of sight between the individual position and a player at the individual player position, while excluding visible light transmission to player positions across from or adjacent to the individual player position.
