Abstract: A system for detecting synthetic videos may include a server, a plurality of weak classifiers, and a strong classifier. The server may be configured to receive a prediction result from each of a plurality of weak classifiers; and send the prediction results from each of the plurality of weak classifiers to a strong classifier. The weak classifiers may be trained on real videos and known synthetic videos to analyze a distinct characteristic of a video file; detect irregularities of the distinct characteristic; generate a prediction result associated with the distinct characteristic, the prediction result being a prediction on whether the video file is synthetic; and output the prediction result to the server. The strong classifier may be trained to receive the prediction results of the plurality of weak classifiers from the server; analyze the prediction results; and determine if the video file is synthetic based on the prediction results.

Abstract: Various arrangements of fluidics systems are disclosed. In one arrangement, an aspiration circuit for a fluidics system is disclosed that selectively controls aspiration. The aspiration circuit comprises an aspiration line operatively connected to a surgical instrument, an aspiration exhaust line operatively connected to a waste receptacle; an aspiration vent line connected at a first end to the aspiration line; and a selectively variable vent valve operatively connected to the aspiration vent line. The variable vent valve may be selectively moved to vary aspiration pressure within the aspiration line. Other fluidics systems are disclosed that include a selectively positionable irrigation valve that may also be incorporated into a fluidics system that includes a variable vent valve.

Abstract: A filtration system interconnection structure having a filter manifold and a filter cartridge in magnetic communication with one another, such that a latching mechanism of the manifold secures the filter cartridge within a manifold sump when the filter cartridge is inserted therein. The magnetic communication is formed between two complementary coded polymagnets capable of producing a magnetic shear force when in close proximity to one another. The magnetic shear force removes a latch blocking structure from interfering with the latch, allowing the latch to secure the filter cartridge. Movement of the latch blocking structure coded polymagnet relative to the filter cartridge coded polymagnet may be perpendicular or parallel with respect to each other such that a shear force is generated therebetween, allowing for actuation of the latch blocking mechanism against a biasing force, and allowing the latch to move radially inwards against a separate biasing force.
