Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to encoding of junction area information in map data. In particular, the encoding may include organizing vehicle paths that traverse through a junction area according to path groups and organizing contentions that influence behavior of vehicles traveling along the vehicle paths according to contention groups. In addition, the encoding may include generating direction data structures that associate respective path groups with one or more of the contention groups. In these or other embodiments, the map data that corresponds to the junction area may be updated with direction data structures.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for activity goal personalization are described. A user device may receive physiological data associated with a user from a wearable device. The user device may compute a recovery metric for the user based at least in part on the received physiological data. The user device may receive an input adjusting a baseline activity level for the user within an application running on the user device and associated with the wearable device. The user device may compute a target activity level for the user based at least in part on the adjusted baseline activity level and the computed recovery metric for the user, and cause a graphical user interface (GUI) of the user device running the application to display the computed target activity level for the user.

Abstract: Described herein are various systems and methods for directing endoscopy instruments to varying positions at a target site. In one aspect, at least one instrument channel has multiple exit points at the distal end of the guide tube, and the position of an instrument delivered through the channel may be switched between the different exit points. In another aspect, an instrument channel splits into multiple branches at the distal end of the guide tube, and the position of an instrument at the target site may be changed by selectively directing the instrument into a different channel branch. In yet another aspect, the guide tube, or a portion thereof, may be rotated to reposition an instrument at the target site. The capability of changing the instrument positions during a procedure would enable a physician to examine or treat multiple target sites within an operative field, without necessitating the full retraction of the instruments or the guide tube from the operative field.
