Abstract: Systems/techniques that facilitate improved spinal hardware rendering are provided. In various embodiments, a system can access a medical imaging voxel array depicting a spine of a medical patient. In various aspects, the system can determine whether the medical imaging voxel array depicts a set of surgical hardware inserted in the spine of the medical patient. In various instances, the system can, in response to a determination that the medical imaging voxel array depicts the set of surgical hardware, localize a surface that sagittally bisects the spine of the medical patient. In various cases, the system can render, on an electronic display, a butterfly-view of the medical imaging voxel array, wherein the butterfly-view can be hinged about the localized surface.

Abstract: The present application at least describes an apparatus including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon and a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, configured to execute as set of instructions. The set of instructions include determining a preference to operate in a reduced capacity (REDCAP) mode in a network. The set of instructions also include transmitting, via a radio resource control (RRC) message to a registration location on the network, a registration request to operate in the REDCAP mode. The registration request prompts a selection of an access and mobility function (AMF) configured to authorize the apparatus to operate in the REDCAP mode and communicate with the apparatus. The registration request prompts a session management function (SMF) to determine characteristics of a protocol data unit (PDU) session of the apparatus.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to auditory nerve stimulation to create the perception of sound in the brain of a subject such as an animal or human being. In one form, a system includes an implantable electrode array including a plurality of spaced apart micro-needles. The system also includes a first electrical lead electrically coupled to and extending from the implantable electrode array, and an auditory signal device configured to produce one or more electrical signals representative of communications received from an external processor. An interposer is configured to electrically couple the implantable electrode array and the auditory signal device in an arrangement where one or more electrical signals produced by the auditory signal device may be transmitted through the first electrical lead to the implantable electrode array. Various novel stimulation strategies can be employed, such as place modulated stimulation signals.

Abstract: A method and devices may assist in addressing signaling efficiency issues when the network aims to page a group of UEs in a multicast group so that the UEs will switch from CM-IDLE state to CM-CONNECTED state.

Abstract: The vector data path is divided into smaller vector lanes. A register such as a memory mapped control register stores a vector lane number (VLX) indicating the number of vector lanes to be powered. A decoder converts this VLX into a vector lane control word, each bit controlling the ON of OFF state of the corresponding vector lane. This number of contiguous least significant vector lanes are powered. In the preferred embodiment the stored data VLX indicates that 2VLX contiguous least significant vector lanes are to be powered. Thus the number of vector lanes powered is limited to an integral power of 2. This manner of coding produces a very compact controlling bit field while obtaining substantially all the power saving advantage of individually controlling the power of all vector lanes.
