Abstract: Rotational atherectomy devices and systems can remove or reduce stenotic lesions in implanted grafts by rotating one or more abrasive elements within the graft. The abrasive elements can be attached to a distal portion of an elongate flexible drive shaft that extends from a handle assembly that includes a driver for rotating the drive shaft. In particular implementations, individual abrasive elements are attached to the drive shaft at differing radial angles in comparison to each other (e.g., configured in a helical array). The centers of mass of the abrasive elements can define a path that fully or partially spirals around the drive shaft.

Abstract: A process for receiving, through a virtual assistant application, a first modality input related to a transaction profile. The process may involve identifying utterances from the first modality input. The process may further involve adjust a transaction service schema based on utterances identified from the first modality input and responding, through the virtual assistant application, with a first output derived from the transaction service schema. The process may further involve receiving, through the virtual assistant application, a second modality input related to the transaction profile. The process may then involve identifying utterances from the second modality input. The process may then involve adjusting the transaction service schema based on utterances identified from the second modality input. The process may conclude with responding, through the virtual assistant application, with a second output derived from the transaction service schema.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computing system may monitor authentication input and modify authentication requirements based on detection of user-specific input errors. The computing system may use machine learning or other techniques to detect whether an incorrect authentication input corresponds to a common input mistake of a user. If the incorrect authentication input does correspond to a common input mistake of the user, a computing system may modify one or more authentication requirements to make the authentication process easier for the user.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a shaving razor system. The razor system has a handle and a razor cartridge. The handle has at least one skin interconnect member in pivotal relation to a proximal end portion of the handle. The razor cartridge has a housing, at least one blade, and at least one opening which extends through the housing. The razor cartridge is engaged with the skin interconnect member when the skin interconnect member is disposed within the opening securing the razor cartridge to the proximal end portion of the handle. The razor cartridge is in a pivotal relation with the handle, but not with the skin interconnect member. A pivot point of the razor system is desirably disposed near the front blade of the cartridge. Axes of movement in the razor system can be provided by different physical order of connections of razor components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

Abstract: A display system aligns the location of its exit pupil with the location of a viewer's pupil by changing the location of the portion of a light source that outputs light. The light source may include an array of pixels that output light, thereby allowing an image to be displayed on the light source. The display system includes a camera that captures images of the eye and negatives of the images are displayed by the light source. In the negative image, the dark pupil of the eye is a bright spot which, when displayed by the light source, defines the exit pupil of the display system. The location of the pupil of the eye may be tracked by capturing the images of the eye, and the location of the exit pupil of the display system may be adjusted by displaying negatives of the captured images using the light source.
