The apparatus (10) also comprises a solids discharge port (20) provided at each of the vertices of the polygonal cross-section wherein, in use, when the vessel is rotated the particulates in the fluid entering the vessel (10) migrate to the vertices, from where they can be discharged through the discharge ports.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a device manager to control data tracking with client devices. A device may implement a manager process or application that allows a user to set preferences and/or a schedule of rates for allowing other online service providers to track user data. This may include placement of device-side data, such as a cookie or pixel, or tracking of device data through an application. The manager process may detect when a website, online platform, application, or other entity attempts to track data on the device and may utilize the schedule of rates to request a payment from the tracking entity. If the entity agrees to the payment, the manager may allow the entity to begin tracking data. However, if the tracking entity does not agree to the payment, then the manager may prevent the tracking entity from collecting data from the device.

Abstract: An instrument device manipulator (IDM) is attached to a surgical arm of a robotic system and comprises a surgical tool holder and an outer housing. The surgical tool holder includes an attachment interface that can secure a surgical tool in a front-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on a face opposite of a proximal extension of the surgical tool) or a back-mount configuration (where the attachment interface is on the same face as the proximal extension of the surgical tool). The surgical tool holder may rotate continuously within the outer housing. In a back-mount configuration, the surgical tool holder may have a passage that receives the proximal extension of the tool and allows free rotation of the proximal extension about the rotational axis. A surgical drape separates the IDM and robotic arm from a tool, while allowing electrical and/or optical signals to pass therebetween.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for generating a usage model for predicting user commands in an app. One method includes receiving model information from client devices. The model is obtained at each client device by training a machine-learning program with app usage data. The server generates synthetic data using the models from the client devices. A machine-learning program is trained using the synthetic data to obtain a global model, which receives as input information about recent commands entered on the app and generates an output with a prediction for the next command expected to be received by the app. The information of the global model is transmitted to a first client device, and the app provides at least one command option in the app user interface based on a prediction, generated by the global model, of the next command expected.
