Publication number: 20190087990Abstract: A method can include receiving data identifying an industrial asset. The method can also include receiving data characterizing one or more sensors configured to detect a first property of the asset. The method can further include determining a first graphical representation of the asset based on the received data identifying the industrial asset, and a second graphical representation of a first sensor of the one or more sensors based on the received data characterizing one or more properties of one or more sensors. The method can further include rendering, in a graphical display space, the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation. One or more visual properties of the second graphical representation can be indicative of one or more properties of the first sensor and/or the detected first property of the asset.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Bobby Dale Hournbuckle, JR., Matthew Harvey Krohn, Mark Rosenberg, Tara Merry, Naren Pradyumna Dasu, Mary Campos, Williams Garcia, Grigory Nudelman

Patent number: 9622799Abstract: A system and method are provided that use a formable bone plate and a clamping apparatus for small bone reconstruction. The formable bone plate includes a plate body having a plurality of nodes separated by internodes. Each node includes a hole formed therein for receiving a screw, wire, tack, or other fixation device screwed or placed into a bone.

Patent number: 8388689Abstract: A prosthesis is provided for replacing a portion of a bone making up a joint. The prosthesis is adapted, intraoperatively, to optimize the anatomical alignment of the prosthesis in the joint. In particular, a jig is used to identify the axis of rotation of the joint intraoperatively and to align a portion of the prosthesis with the identified axis. The angle of the head of the prosthesis is adjusted to optimize contact with the appropriate corresponding portions of the joint, at which point the position of the head is fixed to prevent further rotation of the head relative to the remainder of the prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Skeletal Dynamics, LLCInventors: Jorge L.
