  • Publication number: 20240060634
    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heat sink (100) with an elongated inner core (110) and an elongated outer profile (120). The profile (120) forms a cross-sectional periphery and is provided around and at a distance from the core (110) such that an intermediate volume (160) is formed between the core (110) and the profile (120). The heat sink (100) also has abridge (130) connecting the profile (120) to the core (110). The profile (120) has at least one opening (140) exposing the intermediate volume (160) to the ambient. The at least one opening (140) extends in a direction which is non-parallel to the dimension of elongation of the inner core (110).

  • Patent number: 10789730
    Abstract: A method for determining the position of an object includes: using a projector to project a marker pattern to a projection zone such that a first marker feature of the marker pattern is projected on a first surface portion, using a camera to capture an image of a viewing zone which at least partly overlaps the projection zone, and determining the position of said first surface portion by analyzing the captured image, wherein the viewing zone surrounds the camera, and the image of the viewing zone is captured by forming an annular image of the viewing zone on an image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20070032720
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for navigating in real time in a three-dimensional medical image model and to a method thereof. The method includes displaying a orientation view of the medical image model on a display; adjusting a location related to the displayed orientation view of the medical image model based on a pointing device alignment; displaying an inside view related to the location into the medical image model; and adjusting a viewing direction to the inside view of the medical image model based on a detected orientation of the pointing device.
