Sensors And Control For An Interventional Catheter
US Patent:
8347738, Jan 8, 2013
Filed:
May 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/151963

Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01L 1/22
US Classification:
73862
Abstract:
This invention provides small position sensors for applications where localized sensing in a small volume of space is needed but where measurement of large relative displacement is also necessary. The invention enables a surgeon to accurately position the tip of a catheter during minimally invasive therapy. The current invention further improves the quality of tactile feedback to a physician during catheter-based surgeries with an axial force sensor at the tip of the catheter that allows for the transmission of force information to the physician. One embodiment of this invention is a position sensor for active interventional catheters, where the sensor may be laser-machined shape memory alloy (SMA), and the catheter actuators may be heated SMA or wire-pulleys. Providing position feedback from a catheter during minimally invasive therapy allows for closed-loop control of the catheter tip position under computer-aided guidance and enable force feedback to the physician.
Device And Process For Manipulating Real And Virtual Objects In Three-Dimensional Space
US Patent:
7466303, Dec 16, 2008
Filed:
Feb 10, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/776421
Inventors:
Dingrong Yi - Toronto, CA
Graham Arnold Wright - Toronto, CA

Graham Arnold Wright - Toronto, CA

Assignee:
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center - Toronto, Ontario
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345156, 345157, 345158, 606 1
Abstract:
A device and software system with input and output capability for manipulating real and virtual objects in 3-dimensional space. The device consists of a six degree-of-freedom mechanical armature that has sensors to determine the location and orientation of a stylus and planar surface. In the input mode, manipulation of the physical armature will result in a corresponding two-dimensional, virtual image of the stylus and surface on a computer screen. The armature also has motors to automatically change the armature location and orientation in order to generate a physical representation in the real world of the location and orientation of a virtual object. The armature is built so that it maintains balance at any location and orientation to statically maintain the armature location and orientation without drifting to a null rest position.
Short Bore-Length Asymmetric Electromagnets For Magnetic Resonance Imaging
US Patent:
6064290, May 16, 2000
Filed:
May 21, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/316530
Inventors:
Hao Xu - Sunnyvale CA
Steven Conolly - Palo Alto CA
Bob S. Hu - Stanford CA
Steven Conolly - Palo Alto CA
Bob S. Hu - Stanford CA
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01V 300
US Classification:
335296
Abstract:
A homogeneous field electromagnet having at least two coils in each of two regions. One region has a smaller inner radius than the other region so that the magnet is asymmetrical. The magnet has coils with a smaller radius on one side compared to the other side. This provides the benefit of allowing the magnet to be shorter for a given field of view size (compared to a uniform-radius cylindrical magnet). In a preferred embodiment the magnet is short enough so that a patient's heart can be located within the field of view (FOV) while visual access is provided to the patient's face. Specific dimensions are given for the two regions, including lengths, inner radii, and outer radii. The magnet can also include gradient coils and RF electronics for magnetic resonance imaging.
