Abstract: Post induction hypotension (PIH) may be associated with an increase of morbidity and mortality. As PIH is caused by different (pharmacological) mechanisms compared to intra operative hypotension (IOH), using any of the various definitions for IOH is inadequate. Accordingly, the present application describes a more comprehensive method to assess clinically relevant PIH (defined as “crasher”) based on visual blood pressure patterns and an automated classification model able to classify these types of patients.

Abstract: A first frame of a video stream rendered at a first resolution is obtained. A second frame of the video stream upscaled to a second higher resolution is also obtained. The first plurality of pixels is upscaled to the second resolution. The upsampling generates upsampled color data for the upsampled first plurality of pixels. The upsampled color data is accumulated with a second set of color data associated with a second plurality of pixels defining the second frame to generate final color data for the upsampled first plurality of pixels. Color data of the second set of color data associated with a pixel lock contributes more to the final color data than corresponding color data of the upsampled color data. The upsampled first plurality of pixels is stored with the final color data as an upscaled frame representing the first frame at the second resolution.

Abstract: Techniques and methods for securing vehicle systems. For instance, an authorization system may store data representing frequencies at which destination locations are associated pick-up locations for a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The authorization system may then receive a request for an autonomous vehicle to pick up a passenger at a first location and drop off the passenger at a second location. Based on the first location and the second location, the authorization system may determine a frequency for the request. The authorization system may then determine whether a control system for the fleet of autonomous vehicles is compromised based on whether the frequency is less than or equal to a threshold frequency. If the authorization system determines that the control system is compromised, the authorization system may perform a remedial action, such as notifying a teleoperator.
