  • Patent number: 11936529
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for managing a network of nodes with delta processing. A network with a plurality of connected nodes can be stored, the nodes representing entities of the network. One or more deltas to the network that indicate updates to the connections among the plurality of nodes can be received. The deltas can be added to a queue. The connections between the nodes of the network can be updated using a delta from the queue. The network can be processed after updating the connections between the nodes to generate a vector for a given node. One or more paths for the given node can be identified based on the generated vector.

  • Patent number: 11272984
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in which devices that are employed during a medical procedure are adaptively configured during the medical procedure, based on input or feedback that is associated with the current state, phase or context of the medical procedure. In some example embodiments, the input is obtained via the identification of one or more medical instruments present within a region of interest, and this input may be employed to determine configuration parameters for configuring the device. In other example embodiments, the input may be based on the image-based detection of a measure associated with the phase or context of the medical procedure, and this input may be employed to adaptively control the device based on the inferred context or phase of the medical procedure. In other embodiments, images from one imaging modality may be employed to adaptively switch to another imaging modality.
