Abstract: Minimally invasive methods and devices for introducing a spinal fixation element into a surgical site in a patient's spinal column are provided. In general, the method involves advancing a spinal fixation element in a first, lengthwise orientation along a pathway extending from a minimally invasive percutaneous incision to a spinal anchor site. As the spinal fixation element approaches the spinal anchor site, the fixation element can be manipulated to extend in a second orientation, which is preferably substantially transverse to the first orientation, to position the fixation element in relation to one or more spinal anchors.

Further, the method may include a step of generating a notification for the simultaneous access of the digital content based on the determining. Further, the method may include a step of transmitting the notification to one or more of the first user device and the one or more second user devices.

Abstract: The first objective comparison of automated and human segmentation of magnetic resonance images, or MRI, using a blinded controlled assessment study. Computers connected over a network divide duties including computerized segmenting of the images, manual segmenting of the images, comparison of the computer segmented images and the manually segmented images, and scoring of the images for accuracy. The scores are evaluated to update configuration parameters of a neural network.

Abstract: Variable air flow air conditioning (HVAC) systems including a method of cooling or heating a structure having at least two zones. In example embodiments, individual air flow rates of the at least two zones are measured, and a control system adjusts the individual air flow rates to maintain an instantaneous measured net volumetric air flow rate at a preset volumetric air flow rate as if there was a single fan operating the system.

Abstract: Minimally invasive methods and devices are provided for positioning a spinal fixation element in relation to adjacent spinal anchors. In an exemplary embodiment, the device is a percutaneous access device that can be coupled to a spinal anchor, and the method includes the step of positioning a spinal fixation element through at least one sidewall opening of at least two percutaneous access devices such that the spinal fixation element extends in a lengthwise orientation that is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of each percutaneous access device. The spinal fixation element can then be advanced in the lengthwise orientation to seat the spinal fixation element in or adjacent to the receiver heads of at least two adjacent spinal anchors. A fastening element or other closure mechanism can then be applied to each spinal anchor to engage the spinal fixation element within the receiver heads of the adjacent anchors.

Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient heightened need prediction. In one example, a method comprises, during an online prediction phase: receiving incoming monitoring data associated with the user profile; performing anomaly reduction on the incoming monitoring data to generate anomaly-reduced incoming monitoring data; generating an incoming monitoring window based on the anomaly-reduced incoming monitoring data; processing the incoming monitoring window using a trained heightened need prediction machine learning model to determine a heightened need prediction for the incoming monitoring window; and in response to determining that the heightened need prediction is positive, performing one or more responsive actions by communicating with one or more client devices associated with the user profile.

Abstract: A system and method for registration and processing point of sale purchases, billing and transaction requests using biometric authentication is provided. The system is configured such that upon registration of a user token on a mobile device, an associated financial account server is prevented from processing any transaction requests against the associated account without confirmation and receipt of a user token from a server. The system interacts with the mobile device to verify a biometric identifier before transmission of the user token from a server that interacts with a second server of the financial institution associated with the account before processing a transaction request. The system also includes methods to configure multiple point of sale systems at retail locations to communicate and process payment requests through the system.
