  • Publication number: 20240122615
    Abstract: A method for removing one or more objects or materials from a body lumen includes delivering a tube and an expandable device to the body lumen to a position proximal to the one or more objects or materials. The expandable device is positioned with a lumen of the tube, and the expandable device includes a lumen extending from a distal portion to a proximal portion. The method further includes proximally retracting the tube such that the expandable device remains in the position proximal to the one or more objects or materials, distally advancing the expandable device such that the distal portion of the expandable device at least partially surrounds the one or more objects or materials, at least partially closing a distal end of the expandable device, and moving the expandable device proximally to remove the expandable device and the one or more objects or materials from the lumen.

  • Patent number: 10073926
    Abstract: A method for team analytics context graph generation and augmentation may include extracting a set of relevant features from a received message and predicting a context graph corresponding to the received message being sparse based on the extracted relevant features. A context of the received message is indeterminable from the context graph in response to the context graph being sparse. The method may also include generating an augmented context graph in response to the context graph being predicted to be sparse. The context of the received message is determinable from the augmented context graph. The method may additionally include presenting the augmented context graph.

  • Publication number: 20170039246
    Abstract: A method for team analytics context graph generation may include extracting, by a processor, a set of relevant features from a received message and evaluating the relevant features that represent a context of the received message. The method may also include retrieving, by the processor, artifacts from the received message that best represent the context of the received message based on the evaluation of the relevant features and generating a context graph based on the artifacts. The method may additionally include presenting, by the processor, the context graph.
