Abstract: Visual analytics systems can use video data from cameras placed throughout a location (e.g., a store or a hospital) to determine poses, gestures, tracks, journeys, and actions, and thereby to provide broader analytics useful in realizing efficiencies and improving human behaviors. Data from visual analytics systems can be used to generate alerts, make useful predictions, and run simulations to test hypotheses.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system for priming a catheter assembly are disclosed herein. For example, the system can include a catheter assembly including an elongate body and an operative device coupled thereto. The system can also include a priming vessel configured to receive insertion of the operative device therein. The priming vessel can include a proximal portion secured to the distal portion of the elongate body such that the elongate body is in fluid communication with the priming vessel. The priming vessel can also include a distal end through which air is expelled when a fluid is channeled through the elongate body and into the priming vessel to expel air from within the catheter assembly.
