Abstract: Convergence of threads executing common code sections is facilitated using instructions inserted at strategic locations in computer code sections. The inserted instructions enable the threads in a warp or other group to cooperate with a thread scheduler to promote thread convergence.

Abstract: This application is directed to matching edges of polygons representing neighboring regions in a map user application. A computer system obtains a first polygon and a second polygon, and the second polygon is connected to the first polygon via polygon edges that are at least partially mismatched. Automatically and without user intervention, the computer system combines the first polygon and the second polygon to form a joined polygon defined by an outline of the first polygon and the second polygon. A region defined by the second polygon is subtracted from a region defined by the joined polygon to form a new region. The computer system defines an updated first polygon as an outline of the new region and renders, on a screen, the updated first polygon and the second polygon with matching edges.

Abstract: A drape system may include a drape and a connector for connecting a patient tracking device across the drape. The drape may be placed over a patient undergoing a medical procedure. The connector may be defined by first and second connector bodies. The first connector body may couple to a base of the patient tracking device which, in turn, is attached to the patient. The second connector body may couple to a head of the patient tracking device. The head of the patient tracking device can carry at least one tracking marker configured to be tracked by a surgical position recognition system. The two connector bodies can connect together with the drape positioned between the two bodies.

Abstract: Advanced single vacuum bag (ASVB) fabrication methods and assemblies are provided to manufacture and repair polymer composites whereby a rigid check plate is mounted over an uncured laminate by a thermally collapsible check plate stand. The check plate stand thereby maintains a gap between the check plate and the uncured laminate during first stage processing conditions, yet is capable of thermally collapsing during subsequent second stage processing conditions to thereby allow the check plate to fall into compressive contact with the uncured laminate After the check plate collapses onto the uncured laminate, the compressive force of the check plate will be transferred to the laminate to consolidate the laminate as desired and thereby form an at least partially cured polymer composite structure of high quality.

The software image including the set of built layers is stored in a repository associated with the customer. A manifest of metadata for the set of built layers is stored in a database of a structured data store. The container image is obtained in the form of an obtained container image. The obtained container image is deployed as the software container in at least one virtual machine instance associated with the customer.

Abstract: A natural language understanding method begins with a radiological report text containing clinical findings. Errors in the text are corrected by analyzing character-level optical transformation costs weighted by a frequency analysis over a corpus corresponding to the report text. For each word within the report text, a word embedding is obtained, character-level embeddings are determined, and the word and character-level embeddings are concatenated to a neural network which generates a plurality of NER tagged spans for the report text. A set of linked relationships are calculated for the NER tagged spans by generating masked text sequences based on the report text and determined pairs of potentially linked NER spans. A dense adjacency matrix is calculated based on attention weights obtained from providing the one or more masked text sequences to a Transformer deep learning network, and graph convolutions are then performed over the calculated dense adjacency matrix.
