  • Publication number: 20240390605
    Abstract: Imaging systems and methods for integrated vascular access device indwell assessment and data integration are provided. Such imaging systems and methods can be used to better assess and monitor the status of an indwelling integrated vascular access device and the overall viability of the vascular access in the acute care and alternate site setting and to reduce the patient complications and experience, clinician burden, and overall effectiveness of the patient's treatment and care. Such imaging systems and methods can also facilitate the use of imaging devices, such as ultrasound devices, to assess the current state of an indwelling vascular access device and compare it to a prior state or established clinical standard. This may facilitate predictive detection, identification, and/or diagnosis of an emerging risk of a catheter related complication or detection of an actual complication intermittently and consistently.

  • Publication number: 20240362492
    Abstract: Exemplary systems, methods, and computer-accessible medium are provided that can train a language model for a medical use or performing a medically-related procedure. Thus, exemplary systems, methods, and computer-accessible medium can be provided that can model a reward neural network on one or more physician preferences and train the language model by applying the reward neural network modeled on the physician preference(s) as feedback to guide the language model to learn the physician preference(s). The reward neural network can rely on an artificial intelligent (AI) model as a surrogate reward function for a physician feedback, and can obtain the physician preference(s) implicitly from electronic health records and/or other sources of medical data.

  • Publication number: 20240315921
    Abstract: An actuator system includes a sleeve for accommodating an appendage of a user therein, actuators, and a power source. Each actuator includes a deformable shell defining a pouch including an enclosed internal cavity with a fluid dielectric contained therein, and first and second electrodes disposed over opposing sides of the pouch. The power source provides a voltage between the first and second electrodes. The sleeve includes features for distributing the actuators within the sleeve in a predetermined manner. Application of the voltage produces directional forces on the appendage. In embodiments, the first and second electrodes are disposed over the pouch such that, when the actuator is activated, the fluid dielectric is displaced in a length direction within the pouch, and the features in the sleeve may or may not align the actuators such that the length direction of the actuators are in alignment.

  • Publication number: 20240216004
    Abstract: A uterine fibroid tissue removal device includes an inner tube disposed within an outer tube and configured to be translated and rotated relative to the outer tube, and a separately formed unitary distal tip member attached to a distal end of the inner tube, such that the distal tip member translates and rotates relative to the outer tube along with the inner tube, wherein a distal facing open cutting end of the distal tip member in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the distal tip member translates across a tissue resection window in a sidewall of the outer tube so as to sever tissue extending therethrough, the distal tip member axial lumen being in fluid communication with an axial lumen of the inner tube, wherein an outer diameter of the distal tip member is greater than an outer diameter of the inner tube.

  • Publication number: 20240213154
    Abstract: Memory bit cells having internal node jumpers are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a memory bit cell on a substrate. The memory bit cell includes first and second gate lines parallel along a second direction of the substrate. The first and second gate lines have a first pitch along a first direction of the substrate, the first direction perpendicular to the second direction. First, second and third interconnect lines are over the first and second gate lines. The first, second and third interconnect lines are parallel along the second direction of the substrate. The first, second and third interconnect lines have a second pitch along the first direction, where the second pitch is less than the first pitch. One of the first, second and third interconnect lines is an internal node jumper for the memory bit cell.

  • Patent number: 12009026
    Abstract: Systems and methods for precision writing of weight values to a memory capable of storing multiple levels in each cell are disclosed. Embodiments include logic to compare an electrical parameter read from a memory cell with a base reference and an interval reference, and stop writing once the electrical parameter is between the base reference and the base plus the interval reference. The interval may be determined using a greater number of levels than the number of stored levels, to prevent possible overlap of read values of the electrical parameter due to memory device variations.
