  • Publication number: 20250000669
    Abstract: In one or more implementations of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented system and method are provided for virtually optimizing implant configurations to maximize range of motion in connection with total hip arthroplasty. At least one computing device receives preoperative clinical data of a patient and generates three-dimensional geometries of the patient's bones using the preoperative clinical data. Moreover, the at least one computing device selects implant geometry associated with at least one implant. Using the geometries of the bones and the selected at least one implant, the at least one computing device determines a virtual implantation including a plurality of components. The at least one computing device defines bounds in connection with the virtual implantation, including for at least one of component selection, position, orientation, and offset.

  • Publication number: 20240410097
    Abstract: A tufted article (e.g., an artificial turf panel) having a backing and a plurality of tufts extending through the backing. The plurality of tufts are distributed among a plurality of patterned regions. Each patterned region has at least one tuft of the plurality of tufts. The tufts of each patterned region differ from the tufts of at least one other patterned region of the tufted article in at least one of color, pile height, yarn type, or yarn density. At least one patterned region creates a longitudinal discontinuity in the color pattern of the tufted article. The tufted article does not have a seam. Complementary side edges of the tufted articles can be secured together to form at least a portion of the surface covering without the need for cutting or the use of inlay components.

  • Patent number: 12159039
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses to log memory errors in memory devices that can perform wear leveling based on physical addresses used in the memory devices to address select memory cells. For example, a controller of a memory sub-system communicates with a memory device installed in the memory sub-system to access memory cells in the memory device. During the communication to access memory cells in the memory device, the controller can determine a memory error at a first address. If the controller transmits the first address to the memory device for memory access at the time of the memory error, the memory device converts the first address to a second address to perform the memory access. The controller can be configured to determine the second address and record, in an error log, the memory error in association with the second address.

  • Patent number: 12058595
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide deployment optimization service. A network device in a network receives an order for virtual network function (VNF) deployments at network edge locations. The network device maps a radio access network (RAN) topology for the network edge locations. The network device identifies time windows to perform the VNF deployments, based on the order, historical transport and RAN utilization data, and the RAN topology. The network device selects an optimal time window to perform the VNF deployments based on stored policy rules and pushes software images for the VNF deployments to an image repository in a geographical region near the network edge locations. The network device analyzes, for the optimal time window, real-time network data for a pre-emptive condition. The network device pre-empts the VNF deployments when a pre-emptive condition is identified and initiates the VNF deployments when no pre-emptive condition is identified.
