Publication number: 20240156532Abstract: A spinal surgery navigation system is disclosed for computer assisted navigation during spinal surgery. The spinal surgery navigation system is operative to obtain intra-operative feedback data and/or post-operative feedback data regarding spinal surgery outcome for a plurality of patients, and train a machine learning model based on the intra-operative feedback data and/or the post-operative feedback data. The operations obtain pre-operative patient data characterizing a spine of a defined-patient, generate a spinal surgery plan for the defined-patient based on processing the pre-operative patient data through the machine learning model, and provide the spinal surgery plan to a display device for review by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Mark Weiman, Myles Sullivan, Carly Taubenkraut, Corbett McLaughlin

Patent number: 11973845Abstract: Managing organization disconnections from a shared resource of a communication platform is described. In a sharing approval repository of a communication platform, a shared resource can be associated with a host organization identifier and a non-host organization identifier. In an example, in response to receiving, from a user computing device associated with the host organization identifier or the non-host organization identifier, a resource disconnection request comprising a disconnecting organization identifier and a resource identifier associated with the shared resource, the sharing approval repository can be updated to add a disconnection indication for the resource identifier in association with the disconnecting organization identifier.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Sullivan, Myles Grant, Michael Demmer, Shanan Delp, Sri Vasamsetti

Patent number: 11850161Abstract: A spacer separates bones of a joint using a driver tool having a threaded shaft. The spacer has a superior endplate with inferior facing ramps, and an inferior endplate with superior facing ramps. Two bearings are positioned between the endplates, each bearing has superior facing ramps which mate with the inferior facing ramps of the superior endplate, and inferior facing ramps which mate with the superior facing ramps of the inferior endplate. One bearing has a threaded aperture, and the other a thrust surface. A threaded shaft is threaded into the threaded aperture to push against the thrust surface to drive the bearings apart. As the bearings move apart, the mated ramps slide against each other to drive the superior and inferior endplates apart.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventors: Tyler Hessler, Chad Glerum, Mark Weiman, Albert Hill, Myles Sullivan
