Abstract: A system described herein may provide a mechanism for decoupling user interfaces from backend input processing systems by receiving user input that was provided to a user interface, identifying a label (e.g., a label that was defined as being associated with an interactive element via which the user input was received) associated with the user input, and identifying one or more actions to perform based on the received label.

Abstract: A case with an integrated or attached credential reader; when a user presents a valid credential (such as a biometric identity like a fingerprint, handprint, or face), the case is unlocked and the user can take items from the case. Sensors in the case such as cameras and weight sensors detect items taken by the user; these are automatically charged to the user or added to the user's shopping cart. The credential reader may be on a door handle so that as the user reaches for the handle the credential is automatically captured. The entire shopping experience may be quick and seamless since the user's credential may be captured automatically and the items the user takes may be accounted for automatically. Embodiments may have a door that opens automatically when the credential is accepted and closes and locks automatically when sensors detect that the user has retracted from the case.

The cutting surface of the cannula may be positioned at or adjacent the distal end, and positioned at least in part radially outward of the outer face of the cannula. The cannula may include a cutting surface positioned at or adjacent the distal end and an occluding geometry that partially occludes the distal end of the cannula adjacent the cutting surface.

Abstract: An automated store that calculates a confidence score for virtual shopping carts of shoppers, and selects carts for manual review based on these scores. Carts with low confidence scores may be more likely to contain errors, so prioritizing manual review of these carts is a cost-effective method of improving overall accuracy. A cart confidence score may be a function of factors such as confidence in the trajectory of the shopper generated by the store tracking system, confidence in the events (such as taking an item from a shelf) that affect the cart, and confidence that events are attributed to the correct shopper. Situations that make tracking, item identification, or attribution more complex may reduce confidence levels. For example, attribution confidence may be low when multiple shoppers are near an event, and item confidence may be low if the probabilistic classifier that identifies the item assigns nontrivial probabilities to multiple items.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for penetrating through cortical layers of bone to expose cancellous bone. Exemplary bone-cutting devices include a cutting tip configured to penetrate bone; and a holder adapted to be associated with the cutting tip. The cutting tip generally includes (i) a first portion that functions to anchor the cutting tip relative to a bone substrate, and (ii) one or more flutes that function to remove bone fragments from the bone substrate. The bone cutting device also generally defines a stop feature to control the depth of insertion of the cutting tip relative to the bone substrate. Clinical advantages are realized, e.g., in instances where a hole is needed to be made in a bone anatomy.

Abstract: In aspects, the present invention discloses a method for replacing a first field device with a second field device using a commissioning tool. The method comprising retrieving a device description file associated with the first field device, analyzing the device description file, generating a first object by mapping a parameters of the second field device to a parameter from the identified one or more parameters based on a first index and a second index, generating a configuration file associated with the second file device based on the device description file and the generated first object, and transmitting the configuration file to the second field device for commissioning operation of the second field device. The step of analyzing the device description file comprises identifying one or more parameters from the plurality of parameters for mapping based on a predetermined criteria.

Abstract: Tools, devices and systems that include a generally cylindrical, hollow shaft, and a suction canister are provided with advantageous interconnectivity features and functions that enable ease of manufacturing, lowered manufacturing costs, and allow for a platform of different shaft embodiments and canister embodiments that may be manufactured in different combinations to form an array of unique instruments.

Abstract: At a marketing platform, an aggregated profile device graph is provided that associates different unique aggregated profile identifiers with different sets of related devices and their associated user identifiers. At least a portion of the aggregated profile device graph also associates user profile data and activity data with each device's user identifier and corresponding aggregated profile identifier. In response to the marketing platform obtaining a report request for a performance metric for a particular user segment, the performance metric is determined from activity data of specific ones of the aggregated user identifiers and their associated sets of related devices. Each of these specific aggregated user identifiers and their associated sets of related devices are associated with user profile data that includes the particular user segment. A report on the performance metric for the particular audience segment is then provided, for example, to the report requester.
