Abstract: A method for training an eye tracking model is disclosed, as well as a corresponding system and storage medium. The eye tracking model is adapted to predict eye tracking data based on sensor data from a first eye tracking sensor. The method comprises receiving sensor data obtained by the first eye tracking sensor at a time instance and receiving reference eye tracking data for the time instance generated by an eye tracking system comprising a second eye tracking sensor. The reference eye tracking data is generated by the eye tracking system based on sensor data obtained by the second eye tracking sensor at the time instance. The method comprises training the eye tracking model based on the sensor data obtained by the first eye tracking sensor at the time instance and the generated reference eye tracking data.

Abstract: This application includes mixing devices, methods, and systems in which a second fluid can be introduced through a second flow channel to a dispersion member for extrusion through a perforated portion of a dispersion member into a first flow channel for mixing with a first fluid. In some of the present mixing devices, methods, and systems, the second flow channel is substantially perpendicular to the first flow channel, and/or the perforated portion is disposed on a downstream portion of the dispersion member.

Abstract: In a method for determining a total hydrocarbon composition of a multiphase flow including gas and liquid, the method includes taking different samples of the gas and liquid at at least two different thermodynamic states of the multiphase flow. The method further includes analyzing the different samples, and using a molar balance of the different samples at the at least two different thermodynamic states to calculate a gas molar fraction and a liquid molar fraction. The gas molar fraction and liquid molar fraction may be used for deriving an overall composition of the multiphase flow and for deriving the gas and liquid volume fractions.

Abstract: The content of ray cells in cellulose pulp causes problems and therefore these ray cells should be removed from the cellulose pulp to improve the pulp quality. The present invention makes this possible and comprises a method wherein at first an advancing pulp suspension is screened or vortex cleaned, (3) leading to the formation of an accept pulp fraction (4) and a reject pulp fraction (5) and that the reject pulp fraction is cleaned and divided, and that accepted material (pulp fibres and valuable fine material) is brought to further treatment and/or use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to prostheses for treating spinal pathologies, and more specifically to an artificial disc implant. The implant includes an inferior implant for placement on an inferior vertebra and a superior implant for placement on a superior vertebra. The implant also includes an articulating interface that is generally saddle-shaped and ramped from the anterior of the vertebrae to the posterior of the vertebrae.

Abstract: An expandable interbody fusion device for implantation into the intradiscal space between two opposing vertebral bodies of a spine comprises a superior endplate member having an upper surface for engaging a superior vertebral body in a spine, and an inferior endplate member having a lower surface for engaging an inferior vertebral body in the spine. The superior endplate member and the inferior endplate member are releasably coupled and define a cavity therebetween. At least one expansion member is configured to be introduced into the cavity to move the superior endplate and the inferior endplate members relatively apart upon introduction and to thereby decouple the superior endplate member and the inferior endplate member. An inserter may be releasably coupled to the device to facilitate insertion of the device as well as to provide a track for insertion of the expansion members.

Abstract: The present invention features new methods, apparatuses and devices for fixing adjacent bone segments, segments of a bony structure and adjacent vertebrate of a spine. The methods, apparatuses and devices utilize a new apparatus for forming a channel in a surface of the bone or bony structure segments or adjacent vertebra or a channel submerged within the bone or bony structure segments or adjacent vertebra. In more particular embodiments such apparatuses and methods including forming an arcuate channel and which channel can receive therein a curved rod or implant member, which also preferably is arcuate, and avoids the associated problems with prior cage or straight rod and screw systems. Also featured are systems, apparatuses and methods for repairing, replacing or augmenting the nucleus and/or annulus of a disc.
