  • Publication number: 20210177446
    Abstract: Retrieval of material from vessel lumens can be improved by electrically enhancing attachment of the material to the removal device. The removal device can have a core assembly that includes a hypotube coupled to a first electrical terminal and a pushwire coupled to a second electrical terminal, the pushwire extending through the hypotube lumen. An insulating layer separates the hypotube and the pushwire, and an interventional element is coupled to a distal end of the pushwire. The interventional element can be disposed adjacent to a thrombus. An electrical signal is delivered to the interventional element to promote adhesion of the thrombus to the interventional element. The electrical signal can optionally be a periodic waveform, and the total energy delivered can be between 0.75-24,000 mJ and the peak current delivered via the electrical signal can be between 0.5-5 mA.

  • Patent number: 11036468
    Abstract: An application can provide a UI that includes UI elements for defining talking points to be discussed in conjunction with slides in a presentation file. The application can also provide a UI for assisting a user while the user is making a presentation using a presentation file for which talking points have been defined. For example, the application can recognize the speech of a presenter during a presentation and identify topics within the recognized speech. The application can then identify the talking points that the presenter has discussed based upon their identified topics. The application can also provide a presenter view UI that includes UI elements that display data identifying the talking points that have not been recognized within the user's speech during the presentation. In this way, a presenter can quickly identify the talking points that they have covered and those that they have not covered in real-time.

  • Patent number: 11024328
    Abstract: The systems and techniques disclosed here feature a device including an audio analyzer connected to microphone(s) monitoring a conversation between one or more individuals. The audio analyzer can identify auditory expressions from audio captured by the microphone, where the auditory expressions can include linguistic expressions and nonlinguistic expressions. The audio analyzer can analyze the linguistic expressions to identify a topic and a time period when the topic was discussed. A video analyzer can be connected to camera(s) monitoring the conversation. The video analyzer can identify non-auditory expressions by the individuals from video captured by the camera. A sentiment analyzer can analyze auditory expressions during the time period when the topic was discussed and non-auditory expressions during the time period when the topic was discussed to determine sentiments to the topic. A processor can analyze the determined sentiments to the topic to determine a group sentiment to the topic.
