The ultrasound probe includes an ultrasound transducer, ultrasound circuitry, a six degree of freedom (6-DOF) sensor, and a probe housing. The probe housing encases the ultrasound transducer and the 6-DOF sensor. By embedding motion-sensing technology directly within the housing of the ultrasound transducer, the position and orientation of the ultrasound probe can be tracked in an automated manner in relation to an indicator mark on the ultrasound screen. This allows assisting technologies to mitigate human error that arises from misalignment of the transducer indicator.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: THE REGENTS OF UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAInventors: Eric Savitsky, Dan Katz, Gabriele Nataneli

Patent number: 11631353Abstract: Embodiments transform an image frame based on a position of pupils of a viewer to eliminate visual artefacts formed on an image frame displayed on a scanning-type display device. An MR system obtains a first image frame corresponding to a first view perspective associated with a first pupil position. The system receives data from an eye tracking device, determines a second pupil position, and generates a second image frame corresponding to a second view perspective associated with the second pupil position. A first set of pixels of the second image frame are shifted by a first shift value, and a second set of pixels of the second image frame are shifted by a second shift value, where the shift values are calculated based on at least the second pupil position. The system transmits the second image frame to a near-eye display device to be displayed thereon.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventor: Andrew Ian Russell
