  • Patent number: 12137980
    Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate the planning and performance of hip and other surgeries. A computer model of a hip may be generated and displayed. A template of a hip component that replaces a native portion of the hip may be superimposed on the model. Changes in leg length, offset, or anterior-posterior (AP) position as well as a virtual distance between a landmark on the model and a location on the template may be determined. During surgery, a physical distance corresponding to the virtual distance may be obtained. The template may be moved relative to the model to match the physical distance, and new change values in leg length, offset, or anterior-posterior (AP) position may be determined. The new change values may be evaluated, and the surgery may proceed, or the process may be repeated using templates corresponding to alternative components.

  • Patent number: 12136044
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to dynamically determining a data load process usable with a decision service for responding to requests to the decision service. The data load process may be selected from either a full data load process that loads data needed for all the rules in the decision service, or a selective data load process that loads data needed for a subset of the rules in the decision service according to embodiments. The decision service may determine the data load process to implement based on an evaluation of a decision blueprint in response to receiving the request, where the decision blueprint includes a set of rules interconnected by flow paths. Evaluation of properties of the rules and flow paths based on input data in the request may be used to determine the data load process to implement. Overall, this results in faster execution times in various circumstances.

  • Patent number: 12106849
    Abstract: A first data task station which has a first predetermined data content requirement. A data content receiver receives data content. A first activator enables the data content receiver through a data intake of data task station, to associate with a first data content. Movement of the first data content to an automator site of the first data task station, actuates the screener. A second activator of the computer, by operation of the automator, enables, after the first pre-determined data content satisfies the screen against said first pre-determined data content requirement, a second data task station associated with a second predetermined data content requirement. A disabler, by operation of the automator, after the first pre-determined data content satisfies the screen against the first pre-determined data content requirement, disables the further screen of the first data content of said first data station.
