Abstract: In some examples, smart spool detection systems use one or more first sensors and/or second sensors to detect and/or determine a first parameter (e.g. size) of a spool that retains filler material (e.g., wire) used by welding-type systems. One or more second sensors are used to detect and/or determine a second parameter of the spool. In some examples, the second parameter may be a weight of the spool, a distance to the filler material (e.g., wire) retained on the spool, and/or an angle of a guide arm lever supported by filler material retained on the spool. The smart spool detection system determines a remaining amount of consumable filler material remaining on the spool using the first and second parameters.

Abstract: Device and methods for displaying complex and conflicting interrelated data streams. An example device may receive a first biomarker value associated with a first biomarker in a first data stream and a second biomarker value associated with a second biomarker in a second data stream. The device may determine, based on the first biomarker value and the second biomarker value, that a close-loop control condition associated with a control parameter for the surgical device is failed. Based on determining that the close-loop control condition is failed, the device may identify an intraoperative metric associated with the first data stream and the second data stream. The device may generate a control signal configured to display a value associated with the intraoperative metric.
