Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110125303METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING A REPRESENTATION OF A PRODUCT OR PROCESS - A product lifecycle management system cannot interact with 3D models and data representing a product or process that lacks information for creating a three-dimensional model in a seamless and uniform manner. Such incompatible data includes legacy and conceptual data. Accordingly, a method and corresponding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention are provided to create from such data, an intermediary representation that is compatible with the three-dimensional model domain but differs from a three-dimensional model that has real-world geometry of the product or process. The intermediary structure is formed in a manner that enables the product lifecycle management system to interact with the intermediary representation and three-dimensional models in a seamless and uniform manner, and is capable of being updated with real-world geometry of the product or process.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110202746PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE - The invention is directed towards a processing apparatus for a portable communication device. The apparatus includes: a central processing unit, first and second digital signal processing units, a first dual port memory unit adapted to store data shared between the central processing unit and the first digital signal processing unit, and a second dual port memory unit adapted to store data shared between the central processing unit and the second digital signal processing unit. The first dual port memory unit is adapted to store data shared between the first and second digital signal processing units without using the central processing unit.08-18-2011

20100324407SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROCESS AN ACQUIRED IMAGE OF A SUBJECT ANATOMY TO DIFFERENTIATE A PORTION OF SUBJECT ANATOMY TO PROTECT RELATIVE TO A PORTION TO RECEIVE TREATMENT - A system and method to process an acquired image to differentiate a portion of subject anatomy to protect relative to a portion of anatomy to receive treatment is provided. The system includes a controller with program instructions to perform the steps of receiving an instruction to indicate a zone interest of the imaged anatomy to protect associated with treatment of the subject anatomy; calculating a first set of image elements associated with a first circulatory network in communication to supply a first zone of interest to treat and not in communication to supply a second zone of interest to protect; calculating a second set of image elements of the acquired image associated with a second circulatory network in communication to supply the second zone of interest to protect; and creating a display that differentiates the second set of image elements from a remainder of the acquired image.12-23-2010

20080247616SYSTEM AND METHOD OF NAVIGATING AN OBJECT IN AN IMAGED SUBJECT - A system to navigate an image-guided object traveling in an area of interest of an imaged subject in relation to an acquired image of the imaged subject as created by an imaging system is provided. The system includes a navigation system to track movement of the object in the imaged subject in spatial relation to a navigation coordinate system, and a controller. The controller is operable in detecting an image of the object in the at least one image of the imaged subject, calculating a spatial relation between the location of the image of the object and a tracked location of the object, and modifying the spatial relation of the image coordinate system relative to the navigation coordinate system so as to reduce the difference between the location of the image of the object and the tracked location of the object by the navigation system.10-09-2008

20090088629Dynamic reference method and system for interventional procedures - An interventional device configured for placement in or near an internal organ or tissue is provided. The interventional device includes a reference portion having three or more sensor elements. In one implementation, the interventional device and associated sensor elements provide dynamic referencing of the internal organ, tissue or associated vasculature after registration of the sensor data with images and/or volumetric representations of the internal organ or tissue.04-02-2009
