Abstract: An approach is provided for point-based map matchers using machine learning. The approach involves retrieving points collected within proximity to a map feature represented by a link of a geographic database. The probe points are collected from sensors of devices traveling near the map feature. The approach also involves determining a probe feature set for each probe point comprising probe attribute values, and determining a link feature set for the link comprising link attribute values. The apparatus further involves classifying, using a machine learning classifier, each probe point to determine a matching probability based on the probe feature set and the link feature to indicate a probability that each probe point is classified as map-matched to the link. The machine learning classifier is trained using ground truth data comprising reference probe points with known map-matches to respective reference links, and comprising known probe attribute values and known link attribute values.

Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for percutaneously treating atherosclerotic plaques within blood vessels. Atherosclerotic plaques cause significant morbidity and mortality by narrowing the arteries, which adversely affects blood flow, and by acting as a source for thrombi and emboli thus causing acute organ ischemia. Current treatments include open surgery with its inherent drawbacks, and stenting, which is less invasive but leaves the plaque material in the artery, which promotes restenosis. The present invention combines the advantages of both approaches. In general, the invention provides tools that enable percutaneously dissecting the plaque from the arterial wall and removing it from the body.

Abstract: A process of preparing an adhesive haemostatic product is provided. The process comprises: (a) coating a porous solid substrate with a coating liquid that comprises an electrophilically activated polyoxazoline (EL-POX) and a solvent to produce a coated substrate; and (b) removing the solvent from the coated substrate. The EL-POX comprises at least 2 reactive electrophilic groups. The process enables the application of an EL-POX coating that leaves the pore structure of the substrate largely intact so that the ability of the porous substrate to absorb body fluids, such as blood, remains essentially unaffected. The EL-POX coated haemostatic product obtained by the present process has excellent adhesive properties due to the presence of electrophilic reactive groups that are capable of reacting with e.g. amine groups that are naturally present in tissue, under the formation of covalent bonds.
