  • Publication number: 20240099564
    Abstract: An imaging system for use in a patient is provided. The system includes an imaging probe, a rotation assembly, and a retraction assembly. The imaging probe collects image data from a patient site and includes an elongate shaft with a proximal end and a distal portion, with a lumen extending therebetween. A rotatable optical core is positioned within the elongate shaft lumen and an optical assembly is positioned in the elongate shaft distal portion. The optical assembly directs light to tissue at the patient site and collects reflected light from the tissue. The rotation assembly connects to the imaging probe and rotates the optical assembly. The retraction assembly connects to the imaging probe and retracts the optical assembly and the elongate shaft in unison.

  • Publication number: 20240092267
    Abstract: A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally adjustable about a mirror support. The mirror head includes a video display device disposed rearward of a prismatic mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector. A touch sensor is disposed at the prismatic mirror reflective element and is associated with circuitry at a flexible printed circuit of the video display device. The video display device is operable to display video images captured by a rearward viewing camera of the vehicle. Light emitted by the video display device passes through the transflective mirror reflector for viewing of displayed video images by the driver of the vehicle viewing the prismatic mirror reflective element. The reflective region of the transflective mirror reflector of the prismatic mirror reflective element reflects at least 40 percent of visible light incident at the front side of the prismatic mirror reflective element.

  • Patent number: 11500999
    Abstract: An approach is provided that retrieves organization information that pertains to a computer system operated by an organization and a set of current cyber security threat data that pertains to the organization. A security simulation is generated based on the current cyber security threat data and the organization data with the simulation including any number of decision-linked simulation segments. The simulation is then performed during which a user makes decisions based on the decision-linked simulation segments. The result of the simulation is an evaluated cyber security threat that corresponds to the organization's computer system.

  • Patent number: 11494681
    Abstract: A compiler for a gate-based superconducting quantum computer compiles hybrid classical/quantum algorithms for quantum processing cells with different configurations. The compiler inputs the algorithm and outputs code in a target language executable by a quantum processing cell of a quantum processing system that can execute the algorithm. The compiler includes various functionality, such as: parsing, analyzing control flows, addressing, compressing, and translating. The compiler optimizes algorithms in various manners using the functionality. Some optimizations include addressing efficiently, compressing based on simulations, and translating for efficient execution of parametric functions. The compiler may function in the environment of a cloud quantum computing system. The cloud quantum computing system may receive algorithms from remote access nodes for execution on local classical and quantum computing systems.

  • Patent number: 11010145
    Abstract: A compiler translates programs for execution on a quantum processing system. To facilitate portability of quantum programs across differently configured quantum processors, the compiler accepts a specification of the quantum processor as input along with a quantum program for compilation. A specification may include information about the type of each qubit device in the quantum processor, the number of qubits, the qubit topology, coherence times of individual qubits, and operations that the quantum processor supports. The compilation process may include manipulating operations of the input program to generate equivalent operations that can be performed by the quantum gates and qubit devices on the quantum processor for which the program is being compiled.
