  • Publication number: 20250138217
    Abstract: Systems and methods describe providing deep learning-based detection of gravitational waves. In one embodiment, the system: trains a deep learning classifier using a first set of waveform data from GW detectors; applies the trained deep learning classifier to a second set of waveform data to identify candidate GW signals; generates an SNR ranking statistic from the output of the trained deep learning classifier; determines SNR rankings of the candidate GW signals using the generated SNR ranking statistic; evaluates the compatibility between candidate GW signals from different detectors by comparing arrival times and parameters of the candidate GW signals; estimates a plurality of detection significance scores associated with the candidate GW signals by analyzing clusters of identified candidate GW signals that pass or fail the compatibility evaluation; and outputs at least a subset of the identified GW signals based on their SNR rankings and detection significance scores.

  • Patent number: 12277267
    Abstract: A processing system provides two-way communication between an electroanatomic navigation and mapping system (EAMS) and a head-mounted display (HMD). A user wearing the HMD can use hands-free or touch-free actions to interact with a user interface for EAMS information displayed by the HMD (e.g., 3D augmented reality graphics) or by a display monitor (e.g., 2D graphics). For example, the processing system updates the position of a cursor on the display monitor to track a gaze direction of the user as determined by the HMD.

  • Publication number: 20240084855
    Abstract: An insertion system for inserting a bushing assembly defining first and second end configurations into a housing opening defined by a structural member comprises a brace assembly, an actuator assembly, and a drive plate. The brace assembly comprises a brace rod, an anchor member defining an anchor edge surface and a spacing portion, and a brace nut. The actuator assembly comprises an actuator housing and a drive member. Displacement of the drive member causes displacement of the bushing assembly through the drive plate such that the anchor edge surface acts on the structural member and the drive plate displaces the bushing assembly into the housing opening towards the anchor member. The spacing portion of the anchor member is configured to engage the second end configuration of the bushing assembly to prevent further displacement of the bushing assembly when the bushing assembly is in a desired position.
