Abstract: A method of calibrating a robotic imaging apparatus includes providing the robotic imaging apparatus, calibrating a stereoscopic camera portion of the apparatus to robot space, and registering the robot space to a patient space. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a base section defining the robot space, a robotic arm including a first end connected to the base section, a second end including a coupling interface, and a plurality of joints and links connecting the first end to the second end, each joint including a motor configured to rotate the joint around an axis and a joint sensor configured to transmit a position of the respective joint, a stereoscopic camera connected at the coupling interface, and a sensor positioned at the coupling interface and configured to detect force imparted on the stereoscopic camera by an operator and to transmit output data indicative of the detected force.

Abstract: Embodiments include a method to provide access to services, including receiving, by an information sharing platform, a user at a landing page of the information sharing platform for selectively accessing services through the information sharing platform. The information sharing platform can use an application programming interface (API) to access an Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) component to authenticate the user based on user credentials of the user. The information sharing platform stores and retrieves profile attributes for the user, which is uses to customize the information sharing platform content presented to the user.

Abstract: A digital brand asset system is provided enabling a brand owner to create, distribute, maintain, manage, merchandise and analyze smart brand assets. The system enables distribution and sharing of smart brand assets across the websites. The websites can host webpages containing codes representing the smart brand assets. When a user device retrieves a webpage from one of the websites and renders the webpage, it executes the codes and requests the content of the smart brand assets from a brand asset server. Through the brand asset server, a brand owner can control the content and the presentation of the smart brand asset hosted by the websites. The system further enables the brand partners to adjust the content of the smart brand assets based on their needs.

Abstract: A stereoscopic imaging apparatus and platform are disclosed. An example stereoscopic imaging apparatus includes a main objective assembly and left and right lens sets defining respective parallel left and right optical paths from light that is received from the main objective assembly of a target surgical site. Each of the left and right lens sets includes a front lens, first and second zoom lenses configured to be movable along the optical path, and a lens barrel configured to receive the light from the second zoom lens. The example stereoscopic imaging apparatus also includes left and right image sensors configured to convert the light after passing through the lens barrel into image data that is indicative of the received light. The example stereoscopic visualization camera further includes a processor configured to convert the image data into stereoscopic video signals or video data for display on a display monitor.

Abstract: A digital brand asset system is provided enabling a brand owner to create, distribute, maintain, manage, merchandise and analyze smart brand assets. The system enables distribution and sharing of smart brand assets across the websites. The websites can host webpages containing codes representing the smart brand assets. When a user device retrieves a webpage from one of the websites and renders the webpage, it executes the codes and requests the content of the smart brand assets from a brand asset server. Through the brand asset server, a brand owner can control the content and the presentation of the smart brand asset hosted by the websites, based on various factors such as previous click through rates, aggregated shopper behaviors, geographical locations of the websites or website visitors, categorized types of websites, blacklist of websites.

Abstract: A digital brand asset system is provided enabling a brand owner to create, distribute, maintain, manage, merchandise and analyze smart brand assets. Generally, the system enables distribution and sharing of smart brand assets across websites. The system performs the steps of presenting a web page containing code representing a smart brand asset that has a unique identifier, receiving a request for the smart brand asset from a search engine crawler which is indexing web pages of the web server, redirecting the request to a brand asset proxy server based on the unique identifier and satisfying the request by providing content of the smart brand asset. The unique identifier can include information of the location, user attributes, or the content of the smart brand asset. As a result, it is determined that the request is sufficiently satisfied to be indexed by the search engine.

Abstract: A digital brand asset system performs the steps of providing payloads for a smart brand asset to a plurality of web servers which include codes representing the smart brand asset, receiving feedbacks on how the smart brand asset is presented on the website servers, collecting web journey data of the website visitors' who have interacted with the smart brand asset, generating a report detailing how effective the smart brand asset has been on the website servers, and presenting the report on a dashboard. Generally, by monitoring the website servers and visitors interacting with the smart brand assets, a report can be generated for the brand owners to determine the effectiveness of the smart brand assets hosted on the website servers. The raw data used to generate the report can be used to autonomically and dynamically change the content based upon the interpretation of the feedbacks.

Abstract: A robotic imaging apparatus is disclosed. A robotic imaging apparatus includes a robotic arm, a stereoscopic camera, and a sensor positioned between the robotic arm and the stereoscopic camera. The sensor transmits output data that is indicative of translational and/or rotational force imparted on the stereoscopic camera by an operator. The robotic imaging apparatus also includes a processor that is configured to determine a movement sequence for the robotic arm based on a current position of the robotic arm and the output data from the sensor and to cause at least one of the joints of the robotic arm to rotate based on the determined movement sequence via one or more motor control signals provided to the at least one joint. The rotation of the at least one joint provides power-assisted movement of the robotic arm based on the detected translational and/or rotational forces imparted by the operator.

Abstract: A digital brand asset system is provided enabling a brand owner to create, distribute, maintain, manage, merchandise and analyze smart brand assets. The system enables distribution and sharing of smart brand assets across the websites. The websites can host webpages containing codes representing the smart brand assets. The brand owners specify brand guidelines that determine how the smart brand assets are presented based on the environment in which the smart brand assets are placed. Smart brand assets contain unique identifications so that a search engine crawler can index the web pages containing the content of the smart brand assets. By monitoring the website servers and visitors interacting with the smart brand assets, a report can be generated for the brand owners to determine the effectiveness of the smart brand assets hosted on the website servers.
