Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for balancing a patient's knee joint during an orthopaedic surgical procedure includes measuring a conductance of a medial collateral ligament and a lateral collateral ligament of the patient's knee joint and balancing the tension of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments based on the measured conductance. The tension of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments may be balanced by reducing a difference between the measured conductance.

Abstract: A method for forecasting future values of a target variable using past values thereof, the values of the target variable being affected by one or more covariates wherein the covariates are independent from the target variable. The method comprises using a covariate-specific AI model, computing a covariate effect of the covariates on the target variable. The covariates effect is a defined modification to the values of the target variable caused by the covariates. The method also comprises computing intrinsic past values of the target variable by removing the covariate effect of the covariates from past values of the target variable. The method further comprises using a target-variable-specific AI model, generating an intrinsic forecast of the future values of the target variable; and computing a forecast that includes the covariate effect using the intrinsic forecast of the future values of the target variable and the covariate effect.

Abstract: A system and method for register coalescing is described. The system comprises a CORF, a coalescing-aware register file design for GPUs that simultaneously reduces the leakage and dynamic access power, while improving the overall performance of the GPU. CORF achieves these properties by enabling the reads to multiple operands that are packed together to be coalesced, reducing the number of reads to the RF, and improving dynamic energy and performance. CORF combines compiler-assisted register allocation with a reorganized register file (CORF++) in order to maximize operand coalescing opportunities.
