Abstract: An imaging system includes a first portion and a second portion that translates and/or rotates with respect to the first portion. A first locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from translating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport of the system. A second locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from rotating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport and/or during an imaging scan. Further embodiments include a cable management system between the first and second portions, a spherically-shaped surface of a support gimbal and a user interface device for an imaging system.

Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing robotically-assisted surgery in conjunction with intra-operative imaging. A method includes moving a robotic arm with respect to a patient and an imaging device to move an end effector of the robotic arm to a pre-determined position and orientation with respect to the patient based on imaging data of the patient obtained by the imaging device. The robotic arm maintains the end effector in the pre-determined position and orientation with respect to the patient and does not collide with the imaging device or with the patient when the imaging device moves with respect to the patient.

Abstract: A database image may be updated with incremental changes without replicating the production database. Each set of changes to the production database are stored in a differencing disk. Two or more identical chains of differencing disks are created. One chain is an active chain, and database clones may be served from the active chain for use by users. After reaching a predetermined length on an inactive chain, the differencing disks on the inactive chain are merged into a single merged differencing disk, and the inactive chain becomes an active chain, from which new database clones may be served to users. The chains may alternate between being inactive and active chains.

Abstract: Global synchrony changes the way computers can be programmed. A new class of ISA level instructions (the globally-synchronous load-store) of the present invention is presented. In the context of multiple load-store machines, the globally synchronous load-store architecture allows the programmer to think about a collection of independent load-store machines as a single load-store machine. These ISA instructions may be applied to a distributed matrix transpose or other data that exhibit a high degree of data non-locality and difficulty in efficiently parallelizing on modern computer system architectures. Included in the new ISA instructions are a setup instruction and a synchronous coalescing access instruction (“sca”). The setup instruction configures a head processor to set up a global map that corresponds processor data contiguously to the memory. The “sca” instruction configures processors to block processor threads until respective times on a global clock, derived from the global map, to access the memory.
