Abstract: Sensing device(s) may be installed in a medical environment to captures images of the medical environment, which may include an ultrasound probe and a patient. The images may be processed to determine, automatically, the position of the ultrasound probe relative to the patient's body. Based on the determined position, ultrasound image(s) taken by the ultrasound probe may be aligned with a 3D patient model and displayed with the 3D patient model, for example, to track the movements of the ultrasound probe and/or provide a visual representation of the anatomical structure(s) captured in the ultrasound image(s) against the 3D patient model. The ultrasound images may also be used to reconstruct a 3D ultrasound model of the anatomical structure(s).

Abstract: A system obtains scene context data characterizing the environment. The scene context data includes data that characterizes a trajectory of an agent in a vicinity of a vehicle up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations, and generates, for each of a plurality of target locations that each corresponds to one of the initial target locations, a respective predicted likelihood score that represents a likelihood that the target location will be an intended final location for a future trajectory of the agent. For each target location in a first subset of the target locations, the system generates a predicted future trajectory for the agent given that the target location is the intended final location for the future trajectory. The system further selects, as likely future trajectories of the agent, one or more of the predicted future trajectories.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing a perspective view range image generated from sensor measurements of an environment. The perspective view range image includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional grid and including, for each pixel, (i) features of one or more sensor measurements at a location in the environment corresponding to the pixel and (ii) geometry information comprising range features characterizing a range of the location in the environment corresponding to the pixel relative to the one or more sensors. The system processes the perspective view range image using a first neural network to generate an output feature representation. The first neural network comprises a first perspective point-set aggregation layer comprising a geometry-dependent kernel.

Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.

Abstract: A workpiece mounting system comprising a chuck and a base is disclosed. The emissivity of the base is increased to allow more heat transfer from the chuck to the base. In some embodiments, the emissivity of the base may be controllable so that for ion beams with lower power levels, the emissivity remains low, enabling the chuck to reach the desired temperature quickly. For ion beams with higher power levels, the emissivity may increase to allow more heat transfer to the base, allowing the chuck to maintain the desired temperature. High emissivity coatings may be applied to the top surface of the base. In other embodiments, a set of movable shields may be disposed between the chuck and the base. The position of the shields may be a function of the power level of the incoming ion beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for curing polymeric dental appliances comprised of partially cured photopolymerizable components, especially for additively manufactured denture base and artificial tooth components utilized in the production of full and partial dental prostheses. In particular, the invention relates to methods of utilizing a curing apparatus having one or more controllable heating sources and one or more controllable LED light sources to achieve specific preheating and light curing conditions for more effectively converting partially cured photopolymerizable components from a partially cured state to a final cured state.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved medical devices, systems, and methods, with exemplary embodiments providing improved cooling treatment probes and cooling treatment methods and systems. In some embodiments, freezing of the skin may be desirable to effect the hypopigmentation of the skin of the patient. Generally, embodiments may limit supercooling of the skin of the patient during a cooling treatment. Additionally, embodiments may limit adverse side effects such as hyperpigmentation. It has been found that the freezing behavior (frequency and time to freeze) can be modified by adjusting the thermal parameters of the cooling applicator. Accordingly, in some aspects of the invention, a method of treating the skin may be provided where the thermal parameters of the cooling applicator are adjusted during treatment.

Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, a new approach for transferring content between applications is proposed. Generally speaking, in operation, a user can select an area on a user interface in order to cover content that the user wants to transfer. In response, the type of the content in the selected area will be identified. One or more options are then provided on the user interface based on the identified type, and each option may link to one or more applications. Upon a user's selection of an option, an application associated with the selected option is launched to process the content. In this way, the content can be effectively and efficiently processed across different applications, which will significantly improve the processing efficiency and user experience.
