Abstract: Simulation software and planning tools are provided that can simulate treatment, allowing a user to identify preferred poses or positions of a histotripsy therapy transducer array for a given treatment location. The planning tools can identify obstructed transducer elements for a given pose/position, and can provide pressure simulations to estimate driving voltages required to generate cavitation at the treatment location. A digital treatment plan made with the planning tool can transferred to a histotripsy system for use during the therapy procedure. A histotripsy therapy system configured for the treatment of tissue is provided, which may implement the digital treatment plan from the simulation software and planning tools.

Abstract: A brake includes a rotor rotatably coupled to a rotating body for rotation about a rotational axis. A brake plate and an armature are disposed on opposite sides of the rotor. A spring and an electromagnet urge the armature in opposite directions into and out of engagement with the rotor to move the rotor into and out of engagement with the brake plate and engage and disengage the brake. The brake plate and electromagnet each define a central bore configured to receive the rotating body. The brake is characterized by a target supported on a radially extending face of the rotating body or the rotor and a sensor aligned with the target through the central bore of the brake plate or the electromagnet. The sensor generates, responsive to the target, position signals indicative of a rotational position of the rotor and rotating body.

Additionally, or alternatively, ablation systems of the present disclosure can include a deformable ablation electrode and a plurality of sensors that, in cooperation, sense the deformation of the ablation electrode, to provide a robust indication of the extent and direction of contact between the ablation electrode and tissue at a treatment site.

Abstract: A clinical documentation improvement (CDI) smart scoring method may include predicting, via per-condition diagnosis machine learning (ML) models and based on clinical evidence received by a system, a probability that a medical condition is under-documented and, via per-condition documentation ML models and based on documentation received by the system, a probability that a medical condition is over-documented. The under- and over-documentation scores are combined in view of special indicators and queryability factors, which can also be evaluated using ML query prediction models, to generate an initial CDI score. This CDI score can be further adjusted, if necessary or desired, to account for factors such as length of stay, payer, patient location, CDI review timing, etc. The final CDI score can be used to prioritize patient cases for review by CDI specialists to quickly and efficiently identify meaningful CDI opportunities.

Abstract: A method for cooling a product with a refrigeration system is provided. The method includes providing a product within a storage chamber defined by an opening wall surface, a floor surface, a rear wall surface and a ceiling wall surface. The ceiling wall is cooled with cooled air in contact with an opposing surface of an internal baffle. The ceiling wall surface is maintained at a temperature to provide convective heat absorption from the ceiling wall surface in the storage chamber. An enveloping airflow of the cooled air is induced downward along the opening wall surface by discharging the cooled air from the discharge chamber into a discharge area within the storage chamber adjacent the opening wall.

Abstract: A server system obtains a transcription of content from a video and applies a machine learning resource to identify entities which are most likely to be searched for by a user viewing the video, based on the transcription of the content. The server system generates entity cards for each of the entities, each of the entity cards including descriptive content relating to a respective entity among the entities. The server system provides a user interface, to be displayed on a respective display of one or more user computing devices, for playing the video on a first portion of the user interface. When the video is played and a first entity among the entities is mentioned in the video, the user interface displays a first entity card on a second portion of the user interface, the first entity card including descriptive content relating to the first entity.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.

Abstract: Ex vivo analysis can be performed by mounting a portion of live tissue resected from a patient on a sample platform. Using the sample platform, the resected tissue portion can be positioned within a perfusion chamber. Perfusate is flowed through the perfusion chamber and into contact with the resected tissue portion such that diffusion of oxygen occurs between the perfusate and the resected tissue portion. During the flowing, the resected tissue portion maintains a competent immune system. Drugs can be added to the perfusate flow to ascertain the effect on the tissue. The sample platform is designed to be removable from the perfusion chamber for analysis of the tissue by imaging or other investigation techniques, for experimental treatment, or for any other purpose. After removal, the sample platform can be returned to the perfusion chamber for continued viability of the tissue.
