  • Publication number: 20240143348
    Abstract: Adapting user interface designs for specific tasks performed by different users is a challenging yet important problem. Automatically adapting visualization designs to users and contexts (e.g., tasks, display devices, environments, etc.) can theoretically improve human-computer interaction to acquire insights from complex datasets. However, effectiveness of any specific visualization is moderated by individual differences in knowledge, skills, and abilities for different contexts. A modeling framework called Personalized Recommender System for Information visualization Methods via Extended matrix completion (PRIME) is described for recommending the optimal visualization designs for individual users in different contexts.

  • Patent number: 11969354
    Abstract: The invention relates to medical implants, including spinal implants and bone grafts, for fixation and integration with hard tissue. The bone medical implants include at least one rotational fixation mechanism that further includes or is attached to one or more sharp protrusions configured to penetrate and become lodged into hard tissue to provide support and positional stability. Such support is useful to ensure that the spinal bone graft may be used without additional stabilizing or anchoring structures, such as supporting plates or screws.

  • Publication number: 20240130765
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to an extramedullary biocompatible implant for moving bone in a patient's body. In some cases, the implant includes: a first plate configured to be attached to bone at a first location; a second plate configured to be attached to bone at a second location; and a distractor extending from the first plate and being at least partially contained within the second plate, where the distractor houses a drive system including a driver and a gear system coupled with the driver, and where the drive system is configured to cause translation of the second plate relative to the first plate.

  • Publication number: 20240131660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using high-impact fasteners to couple components of a solar power system together to prevent these components from any movement or slippage relative to each other. A strap may be secured over a top surface of the high-impact fasteners and around the components to prevent a disengagement of the high-impact fastener from the components and a separation of the components.

  • Publication number: 20240073817
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a base station includes configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) with respect to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for an idle/inactive mode user equipment (UE). The method also transmits the tracking reference signal and the PDSCH during a paging cycle, in accordance with the configuration. A method of wireless communication by a UE includes expecting a TRS to be received when a PDSCH is received.
