Title: Systems and methods for simulating spine and skeletal system pathologies
Inventor: SCHMIDT JOHN
IPC: A61B34/10
Filed: 2018-10-01
Granted: 2023-11-09
Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for rapid generation of simulations of a patient's spinal morphology that enable pre-operative viewing of a patient's condition and to assist surgeons in determining the best corrective procedure and with any of the selection, augmentation or manufacture of spinal devices based on the patient specific simulated condition. The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition. Other anatomical structures in the patient's skeletal system are likewise simulated by morphing a generic normal skeletal model, as applicable, particularly those skeletal entities that are connected directly or indirectly to the spinal column.

Filed: 2019-06-17
Granted: 2021-06-10
Abstract: A system and method are provided for forming energy filters layers or shutter components, 
including energy/light directing/scattering layers that are actively electrically switchable. The 
energy filters or shutter components are operable between at least a first mode in which the 
5 layers, and thus the presentation of the shutter components, appear substantially transparent 
when viewed from an energy/light incident side, and a second mode in which the layers, and 
thus the presentation of the energy filters or shutter components, appear opaque to the incident 
energy impinging on the energy incident side. The differing modes are selectable by 
electrically energizing, differentially energizing and/or de-energizing electric fields in a 
10 vicinity of the energy scattering layers, including electric fields generated between a pair of 
transparent electrodes sandwiching an energy scattering layer. Refractive indices of 
transparent particles, and the transparent matrices in which the particles are fixed, are tunable 
according to the applied electric fields.

Title: Mesh network addressing
Inventor: TURON MARTIN A
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2019-08-02
Granted: 2020-09-17
Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing for duplicate address detection, an end 
device of the mesh network can generate an address identifier that includes an address 
and time-based information associated with the end device, which is attached to a router 
device for communication in the mesh network. The address identifier is maintained by 
the router device as a tuple state of the end device. The end device or the router device 
can initiate an address query requesting that mesh network devices in the mesh network 
having a designated address respond with the tuple state that corresponds to the 
designated address. The end device or router device receives the tuple state of mesh 
network devices having the designated address in response to the address query, and 
can then detect a duplicate address of a mesh network device based on the time based 
information.

Granted: 2010-12-22
Abstract: A cooling system for turbomachinery includes a compressor bleed air passageway (42) for supplying bleed cooling air to a plurality of circumferentially spaced, generally axially extending passages (44) in communication with a cavity (38) within the inner barrel (39) in which the flanges (34, 36) of the turbine and compressor rotors are secured to one another. The exit ends of the passages have swirl devices (50) for turning the flow from the general axial direction to a tangential direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the combined rotors. A leakage seal (48) is provided between the rotor and the stationary component to provide a pressure drop across a plenum and cavity to increase the velocity of air flowing into the cavity. Consequently, cooling air is supplied the cavity at a tangential velocity approaching the rotor velocity with reduced windage and lower temperature, thereby improving the performance of the turbomachinery.  <IMAGE>
