  • Publication number: 20250114163
    Abstract: A method for tracking surgical items with a system including an imaging system, a display, and one or more processors is provided. The method includes capturing a video that depicts a user handling the surgical items, and performing computational analysis of the video to detect a characteristic arm motion of the user which is indicative of the user moving the surgical item to be counted in to a surgical procedure. The method further includes, in response to each instance of the characteristic arm motion being detected, updating a count of surgical items and displaying the updated count on the display.

  • Publication number: 20250111257
    Abstract: Different sampling orders of random variables in a Bayesian model may be generated for Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling techniques. Code may be received that causes a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling technique to be performed with respect to a Bayesian model that includes random variables representing different parameterized probability distributions and connected via edges in a Directed Acyclical Graph (DAG). Instructions may be generated to execute the code that cause the Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling technique, the instructions including performing different orders for sampling different random variables in the DAG in different iterations of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling technique.

  • Publication number: 20250103877
    Abstract: Techniques for unlearning concepts in the use of a pre-trained generative machine learning model are described. A description of a concept to be unlearned in use of a pre-trained generative machine learning model is received. Negative prompts and positive prompts are processed with the pre-trained generative machine learning model to generate associated activation volume maps. A set of conditions to differentiate activation volume maps associated with negative prompts from activation volume maps associated with positive prompts is identified. A model adapter is generated, the model adapter to use a set of different model parameters when processing of a prompt by the pre-trained generative machine learning model satisfies the set of conditions.

  • Publication number: 20250090843
    Abstract: A transport system for delivery or retrieval of a biostimulator, such as a leadless cardiac pacemaker, is described. The biostimulator transport system includes a docking cap supported by a bearing within a bearing housing. The bearing allows relative rotation between a torque shaft connected to the docking cap and an outer catheter connected to the bearing housing. The bearing housing and the docking cap include respective bearing retainers that constrain the bearing within the bearing housing without a weld attachment. The weldless retainers of the biostimulator transport system provide a robust mechanical securement of the bearing that is not vulnerable to corrosion. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20250082315
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides collapsible medical devices that may be introduced via a delivery device into a pre-existing patent foramen ovale or trans-septal puncture hole and left in place to provide both a sealing function on the atrial wall and a septal-access function for additional procedures. The disclosed medical devices include a penetrable and re-sealable gasket material disposed in an open lumen in the medical device. This penetrable and re-sealable material allows catheters or other medical devices to pass therethough for providing additional therapy to an individual. By allowing the access point or portal to be opened by a guidewire or another medical tool, the medical devices as disclosed herein may be particularly suitable for a variety of cardiac procedures including, for example, atrial fibrillation, mitral valve replacement or repair, left atrial appendage closures, and the like.

  • Patent number: 12020152
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for neural network-based optical character recognition. An embodiment of the system may generate a set of bounding boxes based on reshaped image portions that correspond to image data of a source image. The system may merge any intersecting bounding boxes into a merged bounding box to generate a set of merged bounding boxes indicative of image data portions that likely portray one or more words. Each merged bounding box may be fed by the system into a neural network to identify one or more words of the source image represented in the respective merged bounding box. The one or more identified words may be displayed by the system according to a standardized font and a confidence score.

  • Publication number: 20240086082
    Abstract: A memory controller is configured to be operatively connected to clients for shared memory access. The memory controller is configured to perform a recovery of a shared memory by determining starting point for the recovery and then replicating shared memory to target file system. The memory controller is configured to determine starting point by: generate journal of file operations, generate a snapshot of the shared memory; restore shared memory as per the snapshot to the target file system; determine last operation before snapshot in journal; and set next operation after last operation as starting point. The memory controller is further configured to replicate shared memory by replaying file operations according to journal starting with starting point. The present disclosure enables to create an initial consistent synchronization point of the shared memory with clients, which in turn ensures reliable data recovery of the shared memory in any adverse event.

  • Publication number: 20240061622
    Abstract: A NAS memory controller is provided that is operatively connected to one or more NAS clients for shared memory access, where each NAS client includes a clock and is operatively connected to one another through a low-latency communications network. The NAS memory controller is configured to transmit an indication of a stop time and a restart time to each of the one or more NAS clients, and after the stop time arrives, receive a journal of file operations from each of the one or more NAS clients. The NAS memory controller is further configured to determine a status of each journal, and thus provides a reliable data replication by accurately synchronizing the file operations of the NAS clients using the journal without the need to have a programmatic access to the NAS source, without installation of gateways, and without requirement to reread all data written to the NAS source.

  • Publication number: 20240004764
    Abstract: In a method for data recovery in a continuous data protection system, delta values representing an exclusive disjunction between successive values of data block contents of a content fragment of a dataset at a time t(n) and a time t(n?1) for n=1 to i, where i is selected according to a predetermined data protection profile, are generated. The delta values can be used to recover a dataset to a value at the selected point in time in association with a snapshot that is selected as a starting point for recovery based on a cost analysis associated with a volume of disk activity to restore.
