`
`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`Section 1(h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i) to eliminate the requirement
`that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See Revisions to Patent
`Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer providing an initial
`patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to provide a patent term
`adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant approximately three weeks prior
`to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the patent. Any request for reconsideration
`of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term adjustment) should follow the process
`outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1-(888)-786-0101 or (571)-272-4200.

`

`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and Budget
`approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency request to
`collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration date for the
`agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the agency to inform
`the public about the OMB Control Number's legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 30 minutes to complete, including
`gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary depending upon
`the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form and/or suggestions
`for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
`U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT SEND FEES OR
`COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria,
`Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection
`of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
`Privacy Act Statement
`
`The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in connection with your
`submission of the attached form related to a patent application or patent. Accordingly, pursuant to the requirements
`of the Act, please be advised that: (1) the general authority for the collection of this information is 35 U.S.C. 2(b)
`(2); (2) furnishing of the information solicited is voluntary; and (3) the principal purpose for which the information
`is used by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is to process and/or examine your submission related to a patent
`application or patent. If you do not furnish the requested information, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may not
`be able to process and/or examine your submission, which may result in termination of proceedings or abandonment
`of the application or expiration of the patent.
`
`The information provided by you in this form will be subject to the following routine uses:
`1. The information on this form will be treated confidentially to the extent allowed under the Freedom of
`Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C 552a). Records from this system of records may

`9. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to a Federal, State, or local law
`enforcement agency, if the USPTO becomes aware of a violation or potential violation of law or regulation.

`i-Eleat-ifyiag-3-D-dat-a-fer-a-pat-ieat- t-he-3-D-Elat-a-inetufliag-an-eut-er-layer-of-t-lie-pat-ieat--and
`
`multiple inner layers of the patient;
`
`positioning the patient in a different position than the patient was in when the 3D data of
`
`the patient was captured;
`
`deforming the 3D data to match the different position of the patient; and
`
`displaying, in an augmented reality (AR) the AR headset, one of the inner layers of the
`
`patient from the deformed 3D data projected onto the real-time, non-image actual views of the
`
`outer layer of the patient.
`
`25.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`The method as recited in claim 24, wherein:
`
`the positioning includes positioning the patient in a different orientation than the patient
`
`was in when the 3D data of the patient was captured; and
`
`the deforming includes deforming the 3D data to match the different orientation of the
`
`patient.
`

`
`30.
`
`(Currently Amended)
`
`A method for augmenting real-time, non-image actual
`
`views of a patient with three-dimensional (3D) data, the method comprising:
`
`identifying 3D data for a patient, the 3D data including an outer layer of the patient and
`
`multiple inner layers of the patient; and
`
`displaying, in an augmented reality (AR) headset, one of the inner layers of the patient
`
`from the 3D data projected onto real-time, non-image actual views of the outer layer of the
`
`patient, the projected inner layer of the patient from the 3D data being confined within a volume
`
`of a virtual spatial difference [[box]] 3D shape.
`
`31.
`
`(Currently Amended)
`
`The method as recited in claim 30, wherein:
`
`the virtual spatial difference 3D shape is a virtual spatial difference 3D box; and
`
`the virtual spatial difference 3D box includes a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right
`
`side, a front side, and a back side.
`
`32.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`One or more non-transitory computer-readable media
`
`storing one or more programs that are configured, when executed, to cause one or more
`
`processors to perform the method as recited in claim 30.

`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`A method for augmenting real-time, non-image actual
`
`views of a patient with three-dimensional (3D) data, the method comprising:
`
`identifying 3D data for a patient, the 3D data including an outer layer of the patient and
`
`multiple inner layers of the patient;
`
`automatically registering a virtual position of the outer layer of the patient from the 3D
`
`data to align with a real-time position of the outer layer of the patient;
`
`displaying, in an augmented reality (AR) headset, one of the inner layers of the patient
`
`from the 3D data projected onto real-time, non-image actual views of the outer layer of the
`
`patient;
`
`generating a numeric confidence score that the automatic registering is correct; and
`
`displaying, in the AR headset, the numeric confidence score to a user.

`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`The method as recited in claim 33, wherein the numeric
`
`confidence score is a number between 1 and 100 that indicates a level of confidence that the
`
`outer layer of the 3D data matches the outer layer of the patient.
`
`35.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`One or more non-transitory computer-readable media
`
`storing one or more programs that are configured, when executed, to cause one or more
`
`processors to perform the method as recited in claim 33.

`
`A method for augmenting real time, non image actual
`
`views of a patient with three dimensional (3D) data, the method The method as recited in claim
`
`30, further comprising:
`
`identifying 3D data for a patient, the 3D data including an outer layer of the patient and
`
`multiple inner layers of the patient;
`
`displaying, in an augmented reality (AR) headset, one of the inner layers of the patient
`
`from the 3D data projected onto real time, non image actual views of the outer layer of the
`
`patient;
`
`automatically tracking a real-time position of an object with respect to a real-time
`
`position of the outer layer of the patient; and
`
`while a portion of the object is inserted into the patient through the outer layer of the
`
`patient, displaying, in the AR headset, a virtual portion of the object projected into the projected
`
`inner layer of the patient.
`
`37.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`The method as recited in claim 36, wherein:
`
