  • Patent number: 12017093
    Abstract: Methods and systems confirm the treatment focus location of ultrasound energy to be delivered to a patient from a plurality of transducers. The location of focus of treatment ultrasound may be confirmed prior to the start of ultrasound therapy. In some embodiments, ultrasound therapy may comprise delivering treatment ultrasound energy from the treatment ultrasound transducers through the skull to the brain of a patient. Methods for confirming the treatment ultrasound focus location comprise determining receive focus profiles ?x,vi for particular candidate three-dimensional (3D) treatment focus locations and particular assumed ultrasound propagation velocity profiles; performing a pre-treatment (e.g. low-power) ultrasound transmission into the brain of the patient; receiving return signals; and determining the location of treatment focus based at least in part on the received return signals and the receive focus profiles ?x,vi.

  • Patent number: 12008213
    Abstract: Technologies for computing context replay include a computing device having a persistent memory and a volatile memory. The computing device creates multiple snapshots that are each indicative of a user's computing context at a corresponding sync point. The snapshots may include metadata created in response to system events, memory snapshots stored in a virtual machine, and/or video data corresponding to the computing context. At least a part of the snapshots are stored in the persistent memory. The computing device presents a timeline user interface based on the snapshots. The timeline includes multiple elements that are associated with corresponding sync points. The timeline elements may visually indicate a salience value that has been determined for each corresponding sync point. In response to a user selection of a sync point, the computing device activates a computing context corresponding to the snapshot for the selected sync point. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20040249676
    Abstract: A management system is used for management of patients on waiting lists in such fields as elective surgery, diagnostic services, clinic services and endoscopies. The system also administers administrative entities based on aggregate data provided by the system. The system has data entry, list management, audit and reporting functions. It acquires and creates its data. It calculates much data dynamically (in real time). For example, it stores data on when a patient entered onto a waiting list, and a patient's urgency score. Based on the urgency score, it calculates a target date for the patient. It dynamically (in real time) calculates the number of days a patient is from the target date, and ranks the patients accordingly. It filters a list of patients awaiting procedures according to various resource criteria. It provides for and manages referrals between systems, and lists, in different fields, and it allows calendar booking.
