Abstract: The present disclosure is for a system and a method for artificial intelligence (AI) based review of radiologic images as they are being read by a radiologist. The AI review is performed through the use of screen sharing and screen capture approaches allowing an AI model to analyze images without direct access to the raw image files. The AI review may compare user documented findings with AI model-based findings in order to identify discrepancies between the two. The discrepancies can be used as feedback for retraining the model and/or as feedback to the user to aid in education or track and/or improve an individual's review characteristics.

Abstract: A system and method to adaptively generate a program model. Source code of a program to be tested for code issues, and a set of predefined patterns to be tested in the source code are received. Feature configuration data is generated by determining a set of features corresponding to the received set of predefined patterns. A set of program models is identified by selecting, for each feature in the set of features, a program model from among a plurality of program models that is optimized for the feature. A dynamic program model is built based on the identified set of program models, the dynamic program model being adapted to resolve each of the patterns included in the received set of predefined patterns. And the source code is tested for code issues by extracting from the dynamic program model instances of each of the set of predefined patterns.

Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular and/or peri-urethral tissue ablation includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes which expand with open ends around a central axis to engage the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the injection an ablative fluid for ablating tissue, and/or nerve fibers in the outer layer or deep to the outer layer of the vessel, or in prostatic tissue. The system also includes means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the ablative fluid into and beyond the tissue of the vessel wall. The preferred embodiment of the catheter includes structures which provide radial and lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes open uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened injection needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall.

Abstract: A system is configured to track and provide objective behavioral data of employees based upon an employee's engagement with communications, resources, tools, and other content distributed via an organization's information systems and software. This behavioral data may be combined into an employee profile that includes employee demographic and employment information and may be analyzed by an artificial intelligence or expert function to provide a quantitative metric that describes the likelihood that the employee will depart an organization during an upcoming time period. A dashboard is provided that summarizes and visualizes quantitative metrics and other employee information and provides tools for creating a retention plan for particular employees. When selecting actions for a retention plan, an employee profile is updated to reflect the action and re-analyzed to provide a quantitative metric describing the net effect of the action on employee retention.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for implementing a Level 0 cache within a cache subsystem. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a cache subsystem comprising a Level-0 cache; a scheduler to schedule a load operation indicating data to be loaded; and a load hit predictor to predict whether the data indicated by the load operation is stored in the LO cache and to generate a wakeup signal to the scheduler in response to predicting that the data is stored in the LO cache. Some implementations perform store forwarding in response to load operations using a multi-step approach in which a partial linear address check is performed to determine load operations which are eligible for store forwarding. A full address check is performed for those load operations which are eligible in which the address of the load is compared against the address of a youngest older store operation.

Abstract: A camera tracking system for computer assisted navigation during surgery. Operations identify locations of markers of a reference array in images obtained from tracking cameras imaging a real device. Operations determine measured coordinate locations of a feature of a real device in the images based on the identified locations of the markers and based on a relative location relationship between the markers and the feature. Operations process a region of interest in the images identified based on the measured coordinate locations through a neural network configured to output a prediction of coordinate locations of the feature in the images. The neural network has been trained based on training images containing the feature of a computer model rendered at known coordinate locations. Operations track pose of the feature of the real device in 3D space based on the prediction of coordinate locations of the feature of the real device in the images.
