  • Patent number: 11900064
    Abstract: A question and answer (Q&A) system is enhanced to support natural language queries into any document format regardless of where the underlying documents are stored. The Q&A system may be implemented “as-a-service,” e.g., a network-accessible information retrieval platform. Preferably, the techniques herein enable a user to quickly and reliably locate a document, page, chart, or data point that he or she is looking for across many different datasets. This provides for a unified view of all of the user's (or, more generally, an enterprise's) information assets (such as Adobe® PDFs, Microsoft® Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, Google Docs, scanned materials, etc.), and to be able to deeply search all of these sources for the right document, page, sheet, chart, or even answer to a question.

  • Patent number: 11887306
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments determine, at an early stage, suitability of an intraoperative image for further intraoperative surgical analysis. The determination of suitability may be made using a first angle (such as a first obturator angle) based on at least three pelvic feature points in a preoperative image, a corresponding second angle (such as a corresponding second obturator angle) based on at least three corresponding pelvic feature points in an intraoperative image, and by comparing the first angle and the corresponding second angle to determine intraoperative image suitability. The first intra-operative image is indicated as suitable for further intraoperative analysis when an absolute value of a difference between the first angle and the corresponding second angle does not exceed a threshold. When the intraoperative image is determined as unsuitable for further intraoperative analysis, an indication of a movement direction for a fluoroscopy camera used to capture the intraoperative image is provided.
