Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus related to dynamic distribution of an artificial neural network among multiple processing nodes based on real-time monitoring of a processing load on each node. In one approach, a server acts as an intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) gateway. The server receives data regarding a respective operating status for each of monitored processing devices. The monitored processing devices perform processing for an artificial neural network (ANN). The monitored processing devices each perform processing for a portion of the neurons in the ANN. The portions are distributed in response to monitoring the processing load on each processing device (e.g., to better utilize processing power across all of the processing devices).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for continuous training of an object detection and/or classification model. A first image including a depiction of an environment based on a first set of conditions is identified. Object data associated with an object detected in the first image is obtained based on one or more outputs of a machine learning model. A determination is made of whether a level of confidence that an object corresponds to an object class satisfies a level of confidence criterion. If so, a first set of conditions corresponding to the environment depicted in the first image. One or more noise characteristics associated with a second image including a depiction of the environment is determined based on a difference between the first set of conditions and a second set of conditions of the second image. The first image is augmented based on the one or more determined noise characteristics to generate a third image.

Abstract: For personalizing a vessel stent, images associated with a subject generated by various imaging modalities are aggregated. The images are then processed for identifying Regions of Interest (ROIs) and various parameters associated with the ROIs. Further, a model and a composition of the vessel stent to be administered to the subject to alleviate the condition in the vessel are computed. Thereafter, the model is verified for compatibility using information derived from patient stratification parameters. Upon successful verification of the model, a format of the model is generated that can be used directly for fabricating the vessel stent using additive manufacturing processes known in the art.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to method and device for determining at least a portion of an anatomy from a set of medical images. Thereafter, the image acquisition protocol associated with the medical images is determined automatically based on the determined anatomy. The image acquisition protocol is automatically determined by extracting one or more features associated with the medical images characterizing the acquisition protocol. Thereafter, the medical images are classified based in the features. Further, the medical images are assigned with an acquisition protocol label based on the classification of the medical images. The medical images are displayed with the respective protocol labels. Further, medical images acquired with an identified image acquisition protocol at different time instances are displayed for comparative analysis.

Abstract: In order to install a ground loop for a geothermal heating and/or cooling system in ground material, a drilling machine having a drill bit connected to an end of first tubing may be used to create an borehole in the ground material. After the borehole is created, grout may be pumped into the borehole through the first tubing as the first tubing is removed from the borehole. This allows the borehole to be grouted from the bottom towards the top. Thereafter, second tubing may be inserted into the grout in order to create the ground loop. This eliminates the need for a “tremie” pipe to insert the ground loop and pump grout into the borehole, while still allowing for the borehole to be grouted from the bottom towards the top to reduce the likelihood of voids.

Abstract: The embodiments relate to a method and device for determining plaque deposits in coronary arteries. According to the method, a coronary angiography radiography image of a subject is obtained using an imaging modality. The obtained radiography image is calibrated for further analysis of the radiography image.

Further, an inner lumen width and an outer vessel width are computed based on the processed radiography image. Further, a level of plaque deposition is determined based on the inner lumen and outer vessel dimensions. Further, the result based on the analysis is displayed to the user. The result includes the level of plaque deposits within the lumen on the vascular structure and possible risks posed by the plaque deposits to a subject.
