  • Exoskeleton for assisting human movement
    Patent number: 11324653
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exoskeleton for assisting human movement, which can be fitted to the user in terms of dimensions, tension and ranges of joint motion, either manually or automatically. The exoskeleton can be fitted to the user in the anteroposterior direction in the sagittal plane, with the user in a horizontal or sitting position, without requiring a functional transfer. The exoskeleton has a modular design which is compatible with human biomechanics and reproduces a natural and physiological movement in the user, with up to 7 actuated and controlled degrees of movement per limb, ensuring that the user maintains equilibrium during locomotion.

  • Systems and methods for detecting and displaying body lumen bifurcations
    Patent number: 11064972
    Abstract: A method for generating an ultrasound image includes receiving a sequence of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) data obtained as an IVUS imager moves through a body lumen; identifying at least one bifurcation of the body lumen from the sequence of IVUS data; determining a bifurcation angle between two branches of the body lumen; and displaying a longitudinal view of the body lumen using the IVUS data and incorporating the bifurcation angle to angularly align portions of the longitudinal view corresponding to the two portions of the body lumen.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NAVIGATING AND VISUALIZING INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND SEQUENCES
    Publication number: 20120283569
    Abstract: A method for processing a sequence of ultrasound frames for display includes receiving a sequence of ultrasound frames; characterizing a morphology of regions within a plurality of the ultrasound frames; determining a frame profile for each of the plurality of ultrasound frames; detecting a plurality of key frames from the plurality of ultrasound frames using the frame profiles of the plurality of ultrasound frames; and displaying at least one of the key frames.
