  • Publication number: 20210205160
    Abstract: An airbag cushion assembly includes an airbag cushion and an inflation-deflation apparatus that communicates with the airbag cushion. The airbag cushion includes a plurality of sub-airbags, and an airbag gap is formed between adjacent sub-airbags. The inflation-deflation apparatus is provided with an exhaust port, the exhaust port is provided in the airbag gap, and the inflation-deflation apparatus is configured to inflate and deflate the airbag cushion. For the airbag cushion assembly, the exhaust port is provided in the airbag gap, air exhausted by the airbag cushion takes away damp air accumulated between a patient and the airbag cushion, to reduce humidity of the contact area between the patient and the airbag cushion, thereby achieving a pressure sore prevention effect.

  • Patent number: 10945709
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media relate to generate an integrated image based on strain data and elastic model. The method may include determining, by a processor, a range of probe positions for placement of an ultrasound probe with respect to a patient based on strain data, the range of positions including a first position, a second position, and one or more positions there between. The method may also include acquiring 3D TRUS images of the patient at each of the one or more positions of the range and generating a patient specific biomechanical model based on the 3D TRUS images. The method may further include integrating the patient specific biomechanical model, the 3D TRUS images and MR images to generate an integrated image of the prostate. The methods, systems, and computer readable media can improve efficiency and accuracy of 3D TRUS and MR image registration, e.g., for image-guided interventions.

  • Patent number: 9705309
    Abstract: A terminal protection method that is applied to a terminal is provided. In the method, an air pressure change value collected by an air pressure sensor is obtained; the air pressure change value is compared with a preset air pressure change threshold; and when the air pressure change value exceeds the preset air pressure change threshold, a break instruction is generated, where the break instruction is used to break a power supply circuit of a mainboard circuit of the terminal. According to the terminal protection method provided in the present invention, the power supply circuit of the mainboard circuit of the terminal can be timely broken when the terminal falls into water, thereby solving a problem of a short circuit that occurs on the mainboard circuit of the terminal after the terminal falls into water.
