Publication number: 20240156563Abstract: For anatomy measurement in a surgical system, a machine-learned model is used to determine the location or length. For example, in RYGB, the machine-learned model indicates how much of the bowel has been pulled or run. As another RYGB example, the machine-learned model indicates a length along the bowel to a current location. In yet another RYGB example, the machine-learned model indicates a location for incision based on a desired length. Using an image or images, such as a video stream from an endoscope, the artificial intelligence provides the measurement, avoiding running with estimated steps size or use an inserted ruler.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Rami Azmi Nimer Abukhalil, Kenneth Fernandez Prada, Amer G. Ghanem, Mary Lynn Dwyer-Gaddis

Patent number: 10732796Abstract: Techniques are described for obtaining user activity information and navigational mnemonic information. The activity information and navigational mnemonic information can be used to control information presented in displays in a manner that can assist a user in locating an activity using displayed navigational mnemonics. User activity information can include an application identifier and a content identifier. Navigational mnemonic information can include a resource identifier and a relevance identifier. A user can search for activities based on a relationship between a navigational mnemonic and an activity, such as a temporal relationship. Applications can register both activity information and navigational mnemonic information through an interface, and a navigational mnemonic feed service can provide navigation mnemonics that are not directly related to user activity on user computer devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Thomas H. Alphin, III, Kenneth Lynn Crocker, Colleen E. Hamilton, Brian R. Meyers, Michael J. Novak

Patent number: 10671245Abstract: Techniques are described for creating and modifying task records and for controlling information displayed to a user in corresponding task representations. The task records are associated with more or more user activities, where each activity is associated with a record having an identifier for the activity, an application identifier that indicates a software application associated with the activity, and a content identifier identifying content associated with the software application and the activity. The activity records can include activation information. A user can select a task representation and resume one or more activities associated with the task. Tasks records can be shared between different computer devices of the user, and with different users. Task and activity records can be associated with navigational mnemonics. Representations of task and activity records can be displayed proximate representations of associated navigational mnemonics to help a user locate tasks and activities of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Thomas H. Alphin, III, Kenneth Lynn Crocker, Brian R. Meyers, Michael J. Novak, Valerie Louise Wang
