Patent number: 12260207Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for monitoring release pipelines. The methods and systems calculate health metrics of release pipelines using telemetry data from the release pipelines. The methods and systems determine whether the release pipelines are healthy based on the health metrics. The methods and systems automatically trigger one or more actions in response to determining that the release pipelines are unhealthy and continue to monitor the release pipelines in response to determining that the release pipelines are healthy.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeremy Michael Bares, Havva Gulay Gurbuz, Marc Van Eijk, Rajive Kumar, Jay Christopher Svoboda, Kiran Belthur Parthasarathy

Publication number: 20230309971Abstract: Embodiments provide methods of collecting stem cells. The methods can comprise connecting the proximal opening of the in-line cage device to a second device for liberating cells from a tissue in a fluid; connecting the distal opening of the in-line cage device to a suction or aspiration apparatus; and collecting stem cells on the graft or suture material. The graft can be e.g., demineralized bone matrix (DBM), bone, soft tissue, cartilage, tendon, ligament, muscle, adipose tissue, fascia, a suture, or an artificial scaffold. The second device for liberating cells can be an arthroscopic shaver, an arthroscopic bone cutter, an arthroscopic burr, or an arthroscopic drill.
