  • Publication number: 20220160433
    Abstract: A robotic system is configured to automatically identify surgical instruments used during a bronchoscopy procedure. The robotic system can include a video capture device, a robotic manipulator, sensors configured to detect a configuration of the robotic manipulator, and control circuitry communicatively coupled to the robotic manipulator. The control circuitry is configured to perform, using a machine learning classifier, a first analysis of a bronchoscopy video of a patient site to track a medical instrument in the bronchoscopy video. The control circuitry can then identify a set of possible instrument identifications for the medical instrument in the bronchoscopy video based on the first analysis and an identified phase of the bronchoscopy procedure. The control circuitry can then track a motion of the medical instrument in the bronchoscopy video and select an identification from the set of possible instrument identification for the medical instrument based at least on the tracked motion.

  • Publication number: 20210363618
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Mg—Gd—Y—Zn—Zr alloy with high strength and toughness, corrosion resistance and anti-flammability and a process for preparation thereof. Components and mass percentages in the Mg—Gd—Y—Zn—Zr alloy are: 3.0%?Gd?9.0%, 1.0%?Y?6.0%, 0.5%?Zn?3.0%, 0.2%?Zr?1.5%, the balance being Mg and inevitable impurities. The process for preparation thereof comprises: adding pure Mg into a smelting furnace for heating, then introducing mixed gases of CO2 and SF6 into the furnace for protection; adding other raw materials in sequence when the pure Mg is completely melted; preparing an ingot; conducting a homogenization treatment on the ingot prior to extrusion; conducting an aging treatment on the extruded alloy.
