  • Publication number: 20240070863
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining anatomy directly from raw medical acquisitions using a machine learning system. One method includes obtaining raw medical acquisition data from transmission and collection of energy and particles traveling through and originating from bodies of one or more individuals; obtaining a parameterized model associated with anatomy of each of the one or more individuals; determining one or more parameters for the parameterized model, wherein the parameters are associated with the raw medical acquisition data; training a machine learning system to predict one or more values for each of the determined parameters of the parametrized model, based on the raw medical acquisition data; acquiring a medical acquisition for a selected patient; and using the trained machine learning system to determine a parameter value for a patient-specific parameterized model of the patient.

  • Patent number: 8118241
    Abstract: A surface cleaner system includes a base assembly having a housing movable along a surface, a pump supported by the housing and operable to pressurize a fluid, and a prime mover supported by the housing. The prime mover is coupled to the pump to drive the pump. The surface cleaner system also includes a spray assembly coupled to the housing. The spray assembly is operable to discharge fluid from the pump toward the surface. The surface cleaner system further includes a spray gun in fluid communication with the pump to receive pressurized fluid from the pump. The spray gun includes an outlet portion that is connectable to the base assembly to direct the pressurized fluid from the pump into the spray assembly. When the outlet portion is disconnected from the base assembly, the spray gun discharges the pressurized fluid from the pump toward the surface without directing the pressurized fluid into the spray assembly.
