Abstract: A machine learning system is provided to enhance various aspects of machine learning models. In some aspects. a substantially photorealistic three-dimensional (3D) graphical model of an object is accessed and a set of training images of the 3D graphical mode are generated, the set of training images generated to add imperfections and degrade photorealistic quality of the training images. The set of training images are provided as training data to train an artificial neural network.

Abstract: A tubular, suture sleeve to efficiently position and secure an implantable lead thereto without the use of a suture is disclosed. The sleeve comprises first and second ends with first and second inner lumens respectively. The first end is relatively rigid in comparison to the more flexible second end. The circumference of the inner lumen of the first end is larger than a circumference of a lead body to allow the suture sleeve to slide easily along the longitudinal axis of the lead body. The second end is movable between furled and unfurled positions. When unfurled, the inner lumen of the second end is smaller than a circumference of the lead body, thereby allowing the second end to snugly grip the lead body and secure the sleeve at the desired location along the longitudinal axis of the lead body without the use of a suture.

Abstract: A tubular, polyurethane reinforced suture sleeve is disclosed. The suture sleeve comprises a tubular body and a sleeve wall. A circumference of the sleeve wall is reinforced with polyurethane or other suitable material. When the sleeve wall is reinforced in this manner, it reduces the risk of cutting through the sleeve and damaging the lead with a tightening suture.

Abstract: A lead assembly for use with an implantable cardiac function management system. The lead assembly includes an elongated flexible pacing lead having a proximal end and a distal end. A terminal connector is connected to the proximal end of the pacing lead and has a distal end formed with a first coupling feature. A pacing lead stabilizer having a central bore is mounted on the pacing lead and is slidable along the pacing lead. The pacing lead stabilizer has a stabilizer proximal end formed with a mating feature complementary to the first coupling feature, such that the pacing lead stabilizer is releasably coupleable to the terminal connector.

Abstract: A tubular, suture sleeve to efficiently position and secure an implantable lead is disclosed. The sleeve comprises an outside surface and an inner lumen traversing the length of the sleeve. The outside surface comprises at least one circumferential groove adapted to receive a suture. The inner lumen comprises a star-like shaped or grooved bore. The unique shape of the lumen allows a surgeon to smoothly and easily slide the sleeve along the longitudinal axis of an implantable lead and reduces the risk of cutting through the sleeve and damaging the lead when securing the sleeve to the lead with a suture.
