Abstract: A technique for copying data from a source range to a destination range includes identifying a chunk of the source range. The chunk includes multiple logical blocks that map, through a series of source-mapping pages, to a set of virtual pages that point to physical data of the chunk. The technique further includes copying the series of source-mapping pages to form a corresponding series of destination-mapping pages pointed to by the destination range, so that a corresponding chunk of the destination range maps, via the series of destination-mapping pages, to the same set of virtual pages mapped to by the series of source mapping pages.

Abstract: Catheterization of the heart is carried out using a framework formed by a plurality of electrically conducting wire loops. The wire loops are modeled as polygons, each subdivided into a plurality of triangles. The wire loops are exposed to magnetic fluxes at respective frequencies, and signals read from the loops. Theoretical magnetic fluxes in the polygons are computed as sums of theoretical magnetic fluxes in the triangles thereof. The location and orientation of the framework in the heart is determined by relating the computed theoretical magnetic fluxes to the signals.

Abstract: A system and method comprising a transmoler that identifies common substructures of a given 3D conformer and predicts its structural information. First, based on contrastive learning, substructure embeddings are learned in an unsupervised manner. Secondly, a novel oriented 3D object regressor predicts the dimensions and directions of each substructure in a conformer as well as its fingerprint embedding which are used to create differentiable junction tree molecular graphs. Lastly, using the junction tree graphs, molecular representations such as DeepSMILES are generated which represent new and novel molecules. The system may also generate conformers directly from a pocket. A pocket may be input to the model and the model learns to generate structures which can fit that pocket by conditioning the generative system. Furthermore, structure-based contrastive embeddings generated for transmoler can be recycled in structure-based generative modelling.

Abstract: Calibration of parameters of an endoscopic or laparoscopic camera is conducted while the camera is in use capturing images of a surgical procedure at a surgical site. The surgical procedure is performed using a surgical instrument marked with a fiducial pattern. A processor receives image data from images captured by the camera and uses machine vision to detect points of the pattern, and carries out an optimization to determine the 3D pose of the surgical instrument relative to the camera and the camera parameters. Once calibration parameters are determined, 3D measurements between measurement points in the body cavity may be estimated.

Abstract: In a method of using a structured-light based system, real-time 2D images of a portion of a field of view are captured using an endoscope. A portion of an object in the field of view is illuminated with a structured light pattern, and light reflected from the field of view is detected. From the reflected light, a 3D image of the field of view is constructed, and 3D locations of points on a surface of the object are determined. The real time 3D spatial position of the endoscope and/or a surgical tool is determined. If a distance between the surface the endoscope and/or surgical tool, as determined using the 3D spatial position, falls below a predetermined distance, an alert is generated to notify a user.

The aerial vehicle is preferably reconfigurable to a compact configuration after landing, with at least some of the propulsion units overlapping the cabin and/or each other, while still allowing passenger transfer in and out of the vehicle, thereby facilitating efficient use of space for implementing a vertiport.
