Abstract: The present technology includes medical treatment systems having patient-specific interbody implants and patient-specific positioning guides. The patient-specific interbody implant can be specifically designed to permanently occupy a first target location in the patient, and the patient-specific positioning guide can be specifically designed to temporarily occupy a second target location in the patient. Both the patient-specific interbody implant and the patient-specific positioning guide can be coupled to the same inserter instrument at a predetermined spatial orientation such that when the patient-specific positioning guide is positioned at the second target location, the patient-specific interbody implant is automatically directed into the first target location. Methods for designing and manufacturing patient-specific implants and positioning guides are also described herein.

Abstract: A spinal fusion system includes an intervertebral implant. The intervertebral implant has a fusion body configured to contact endplates of adjacent vertebrae and an instrument coupler. The instrument coupler is detachably couplable to an inserter instrument. When the inserter instrument extends through the instrument coupler and contacts the fusion body, the intervertebral implant is rigidly coupled to the inserter instrument. When the inserter instrument is spaced apart from the fusion body, the fusion body is rotatable relative to the inserter instrument while the instrument coupler holds the inserter instrument.

Abstract: A pitch energy module comprising one or more ultracapacitors storing electrical energy for a wind turbine emergency pitch energy event. The pitch energy module replaces at least one battery within a battery housing of a wind turbine and interfaces with the existing battery wiring harness to communicate with a control system of the wind turbine. The pitch energy module is installed without further modification to the battery housing or the battery wiring harness.

Abstract: An energy storage system and energy storage module for providing electrical energy to a generator start energy system or other electrically driven system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining a first multi-dimensional image data of an anatomical region of a patient in a first loading state; determining, from the first multi-dimensional image data, regions corresponding to anatomical elements of a spine; identifying, in each region, a first set of landmarks; obtaining a second multi-dimensional image data of the anatomical region comprising the spine of the patient in a second loading state; identifying a second set of landmarks from the second multi-dimensional image data that map to the first set of landmarks; obtaining an aligned multi-dimensional image data of the patient's spine; generating a design for a medical implant based on spinopelvic parameters measured from the aligned multi-dimensional image data; and causing a medical implant to be manufactured by sending the design for the medical implant to a manufacturing device.

Abstract: A voltage discharge device configured to drain a voltage of one or more energy storage devices by adaptively adjusting an internal resistance based on a voltage of the one or more energy storage devices. The internal resistance may be selectively adjusted using a plurality of transistors coupled to a resistor coil disposed in the voltage discharge device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and implementing patient-specific surgical procedures and/or medical devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a patient data set of a patient. The patient data set is compared to a plurality of reference patient data sets, wherein each of the plurality of reference patient data sets is associated with a corresponding reference patient. A subset of the plurality of reference patient data sets is selected based, at least partly, on similarity to the patient data set and treatment outcome of the corresponding reference patient. Based on the selected subset, at least one surgical procedure or medical device design for treating the patient is generated. The surgical procedure or medical device design can be generated based at least partially on one or more parameters associated with a reduced risk of one or more post-operative conditions.
