Abstract: Embodiments maintain a data pool that includes heterogeneous data sets, and receiving a first data batch of a data set from a data source into the data pool. Embodiments determine a current state of the data set based on a data set state diagram including a plurality of data set states, and identify a condition of the first data batch. Embodiments further set a data batch state for the first data batch, based on a data batch state diagram, and update the data batch state of a prior data batch received before the first data batch, based on the condition of the first data batch. Embodiments additionally transition the data set state diagram, based on the condition of the first data batch, to an updated data set state. Embodiments maintain a data state repository storing the data set state for each of the plurality of heterogeneous data sets.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer program product for pending updates status queries in extended link services. A host application on a host device queries an update pending on a target device. The host device constructs a pending update query command for the target device, where the pending update query command includes a descriptor tag, a descriptor length, and a pending update vector. The host device sends the pending update query command to the target device. The host device receives from the target device a response to the pending update query command, where the response includes a link service request information descriptor and a pending update descriptor.

Abstract: A medical device sterile barrier system that is easier for surgical personnel to use by allowing easier opening and removal of the medical device from the sterile packaging, includes a sterile bag within which a medical device is held secure via a removable holster, the holster being fashioned with a hinge feature such that the holster has a clamshell arrangement and folds in half along the hinge feature to clamp the medical device parts in place between the two halves of the clamshell. To remove the medical device the holster is simply unfolded about the hinge feature to reveal the parts of the device, which can then be lifted out of the holster and assembled in the usual way. There are thus no polymer tab features forming part of the holster and interacting with the device to secure it in place that need removal before the device can be used.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to a convolutional structured state space model (ConvSSM), which has a tensor-structured state but a continuous-time parameterization and linear state updates. The linearity may be exploited to use parallel scans for subquadratic parallelization across the spatiotemporal sequence. The ConvSSM effectively models long-range dependencies and, when followed by a nonlinear operation forms a spatiotemporal layer (ConvS5) that does not require compressing frames into tokens, can be efficiently parallelized across the sequence, provides an unbounded context, and enables fast autoregressive generation.

Abstract: A rotatable transmission electron microscope (TEM) grid holder includes first and second legs orthogonally positioned with respect to each other. Each clamp holder leg is configured to be received within a hole in a main stage supporting the rotatable TEM grid holder. When the first leg of the clamp holder is affixed within the main stage, the sample has a first orientation with respect to the FIB, and when second leg of the clamp holder is affixed within the main stage, the sample has a second orientation with respect to the FIB, rotated 90° relative to the first orientation. The sample may be rotated back and forth between the first and second orientations multiple times as needed to produce a sample which may be clearly imaged by the TEM system, substantially free of curtaining effects.
