Latest Patents

Hu’s patent for a hybrid manufacturing apparatus describes a system that combines additive and subtractive processes. Material from a magazine passes through a chamber, where a cutting head shapes it before a deposition nozzle places it according to instructions derived from a digital model. The model is divided into constructs that guide the creation and placement of physical sections.

Another patent, “Motion Correction for PET Medical Imaging Based on Tracking of Annihilation Photons,” describes systems and methods for correcting motion during medical imaging. A detector tracks annihilation photons from external sources placed on the person being imaged or from an object of interest in the body. The resulting motion information is used with recorded image data to form a motion-corrected image.
