  • Publication number: 20240091027
    Abstract: An impaction handle for use during a surgical procedure to implant a fixed-bearing tibial tray into a surgically-prepared proximal end of a tibia is disclosed. The impaction handle includes an impact plate defining a proximal end of the impaction handle and an impact head defining a distal end of the impaction handle. The impaction handle also has an elongated shaft extending between the impact plate and the impact head, along with a locking mechanism to lock the handle to the tibial tray. The locking mechanism includes a thumbwheel positioned in the impact head and a locking shaft secured to the thumbwheel.

  • Publication number: 20240028896
    Abstract: An activity classifier system and method that classifies human activities using 2D skeleton data. The system includes a skeleton preprocessor that transforms the 2D skeleton data into transformed skeleton data, the transformed skeleton data comprising scaled, relative joint positions and relative joint velocities. The system also includes a gesture classifier comprising a first recurrent neural network that receives the transformed skeleton data, and is trained to identify the most probable of a plurality of gestures. The system also has an action classifier comprising a second recurrent neural network that receives information from the first recurrent neural networks and is trained to identify the most probable of a plurality of actions.

  • Patent number: 4373319
    Abstract: A bag holding arrangement for disc record sleeves comprising, a plate whose lower surface is profiled to conform substantially to one side of an open bag. The lower surface of the plate is provided with suction means so that in operation the upper side of the bag is held against the surface, the lower side of the bag being unsupported and allowed to hang naturally. A system incorporating the bag holding arrangement is also described.
