| 20120270173 | ALIGNERS FOR INCREMENTALLY MOVING TEETH, AND METHODS AND APPARATUS OF MAKING AND USING SUCH ALIGNERS - Apparatus for repositioning teeth from an initial tooth arrangement to a final tooth arrangement, comprising a series of individual appliances comprising an introductory appliance that conforms to the initial tooth position, and remaining appliances of the series designed to incrementally reposition the teeth from an initial tooth arrangement, through a plurality of intermediate tooth arrangements (if there are any), and to a final tooth arrangement. | 10-25-2012 |

| 20110201935 | 3-D ULTRASOUND IMAGING - In an ultrasound imaging system (UIS), an ultrasound scanning assembly (USC) provides volume data (VD) resulting from a three-dimensional scan of a body (BDY). A feature extractor (FEX) searches for a best match between the volume data (VD) and a geometrical model (GM) of an anatomical entity. The geometrical model (GM) comprises respective segments representing respective anatomic features. Accordingly, the feature extractor (FEX) provides an anatomy-related description (ARD) of the volume data (VD), which identifies respective geometrical locations of respective anatomic features in the volume data (VD). In a preferred embodiment, a slice generator (SLG) generates slices (SX) from the volume data (VD) based on the anatomy-related description (ARD) of the volume data (VD). | 08-18-2011 |

| 20120123267 | THREE DIMENSIONAL FETAL HEART IMAGING BY NON-ECG PHYSIOLOGICAL GATED ACQUISITION - An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system acquires 3D data sets of the fetal heart by use of a gating signal synthesized from detected motion of the fetal heart. A sequence of temporally different echo signals are acquired from a location in the anatomy where motion representative of the heart cycle is to be estimated, such as a sample volume in the fetal carotid artery or an M line through the fetal myocardium. A heart cycle signal is synthesized from the detected motion and used to gate the acquisition of fetal heart image data at one or more desired phases of the fetal heart cycle. In an illustrated embodiment 3D data sets are acquired from multiple subvolumes, each over the full fetal heart cycle, then combined to produce a live 3D loop of the beating fetal heart. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20130103086 | SPINOUS PROCESS MOUNTED SPINAL IMPLANT - A spinal implant includes two plates that are connected together by a post. The implant is configured for each plate to be positioned on outer lateral sides of spinous processes with the post extending through the interspinous space. One of the plates includes a channel that receives the post. The channel is configured so that the plate can be assembled over the post from a direction normal to the post's axis. This configuration allows the plate to be added in a posterior to anterior direction for the typical situation, without having to first locate the plate laterally outboard of the post's tip. As such, the spinal implant allows for a more compact surgical site to be used for the spinal implant implantation procedure. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20100109938 | ADAPTIVE RADAR - A method of classifying items from reflected signals returned from said items is disclosed, the method comprising: processing said return signals to discriminate between a first set of signals indicative of items of interest and a further set of signals indicative of clutter; identifying items from said first set of signals and classifying them as a first class of item; processing said further set of signals to identify a second set of signals indicative of further items of interest; identifying items from said second set of signals and classifying them as a second class of item. | 05-06-2010 |
