Abstract: The present invention sets forth a technique for analyzing a generative output of a generative model. The technique includes determining a first latent representation of the generative output and a plurality of latent representations of a plurality of data samples associated with the generative model. The technique also includes computing a plurality of similarities between the first latent representation and the plurality of latent representations. In response to determining that a first similarity that is included in the plurality of similarities and computed between the first latent representation and a second latent representation included in the plurality of latent representations exceeds a threshold, the technique includes causing output to be generated that indicates a high similarity between the generative output and a first data sample that is included in the plurality of data samples and corresponds to the second latent representation.

Abstract: Lenses and methods are provided for improving peripheral and central vision for patients. The lenses improve vision by having an optic configured to provide optimal peripheral vision that minimizes off-axis astigmatism at, for example, 20 degree eccentricity, while maximizing on-axis visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. The method provides for the design of an IOL that reduces optical errors in an image produced at a peripheral retinal location of a patient's eye disposed at a distance from the fovea, while maximizing on-axis visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating plans are disclosed, where each plan includes actions to achieve goals. An indication to add a goal is received, and a track is displayed representing the goal. For the goal, data describing the goal is received. An input is received to add a node to the track, the node representing an action or area of interest associated with the goal. Within the track, an indication of the node is displayed. One or more node characteristics can be determined and displayed. Additionally or alternatively, a resource may be associated with the node. Using the goal, the data describing the goal, the node, the node characteristics, and/or the resources, the plan is generated. The plan can be output, such as by displaying the plan in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: An apparatus, comprising a camera, a motion sensor, a receiving section, gas tanks, a screen, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to control the camera to take electronic images, determine a type of food placed in a particular container, determine an amount of gas and a type of gas to fill the particular container, generate an electronic message to request placement of the particular container onto the receiving section, and inject gas into the particular container when the particular container is placed onto the receiving section. The injected gas is used to preserve food inside the container.

Abstract: A cardiac mapping method includes determining locations of contacts between a catheter and heart surfaces of a patient's heart using a localization system, selecting a three-dimensional (3D) heart model representative of the patient's heart based on the determined locations; using the localization system to detect locations of electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes disposed on the patient to generate ECG electrode location data; collecting ECG data from the patient using the ECG electrodes; and generating an activation map of the heart based on the 3D model, the ECG data, and the location data. Embodiments also include ECG electrodes and intracardiac catheters that include an element configured to support localization by the localization system.
