Abstract: A method that may be computer implemented converts a tensor value from a first format to a second format and trains a neural network. The method determines a maximum exponent code in the first format and subtracts a first bias to obtain the highest needed exponent. It determines a second bias from the highest available code (HAC) in the second format and the HNE, and converts the tensor value from the first format to the second format by using the second bias instead of the first bias. The method uses the second format to train the neural network. The method may round the mantissa of the tensor value in the first format to obtain a rounded mantissa of the tensor value for the second format.

Abstract: A tissue-removing catheter for removing tissue in a body lumen includes an elongate body and a tissue-removing element mounted on a distal end portion of the elongate body. The tissue-removing element is configured to remove the tissue as the tissue-removing element is rotated by the elongate body within the body lumen. An inner liner is received within the elongate body. The inner liner defines a guidewire lumen. The inner liner isolates an interior of the guidewire lumen from the elongate body and tissue-removing element such that rotational forces are not transferred from the elongate body and tissue-removing element to the interior of the guidewire lumen when the elongate body and tissue-removing element are rotated during removal of tissue from the body lumen.
