Abstract: A method is provided of anonymising data in a surgical robotic system. The surgical robotic system comprises a robot having a base and an arm extending from the base to an attachment for an instrument, the arm comprising a plurality of joints whereby the configuration of the arm can be altered. The method comprises receiving a data stream captured by the surgical robotic system, the data stream comprising data relating to a surgical procedure and comprising personally-identifiable data; determining one or more personally-identifiable feature in the received data stream; and generating, in dependence on the determined personally-identifiable feature and the received data stream, an anonymised data stream omitting the personally-identifiable data.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method for determining relationships between genes, phenotypes, and diseases that includes extracting a first set of biological data containing gene data, phenotype data, and disease data from a database, extracting a second set of biological data from a database, creating nodes on a network pertaining to each individual gene, phenotype, and disease data extracted from one of a database and documents, training multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms on a set of extracted data with matching empirical results, using at least one of the ML algorithms and the second set of biological data for determining relationships between the nodes, creating at least one of a gene-disease association score, gene-phenotype association score, and disease-phenotype association score for the relationships based on the relative association of the nodes, and displaying at least one of the association scores to a user.

Abstract: A method of reducing a data volume of a data stream in a surgical robotic system, the surgical robotic system comprising a robot having a base and an arm extending from the base to an attachment for an instrument, the arm comprising a plurality of joints whereby the configuration of the arm can be altered, the method comprising: receiving a data stream captured by the surgical robotic system, the data stream comprising data relating to a surgical procedure and having a first data volume; identifying a feature in the received data stream indicative of an event in the surgical procedure; and modifying, in dependence on the identified feature, the received data stream to generate a modified data stream having a second data volume that is smaller than the first data volume.

Abstract: Techniques for computer system-based conversations are described. In an example, a system receives, from a first device, first data corresponding to a first interaction in a conversation that requests a function. The system causes the first device to output a first response to the first interaction. Prior to an execution of the function, the system determines that the conversation is to be paused and causes the first device to output a first indication that the conversation is paused. Upon determining that the conversation is to be resumed, the system causes a second device to output a second indication that the conversation is resumed. The second device can be the same or different from the first device. The system receives, from the second device, second data corresponding to a second interaction in the conversation and causes the execution of the function based at least in part on the second data.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a platform for zebrafish phenotyping that includes a user, images and videos containing zebrafish and elements pertaining to the zebrafish (such as organs, organ systems, and tissues), a first set of machine learning models used to predict zebrafish phenotypes based on the image and video data, and a second set of machine learning models used to automatically detect elements in one of the images and videos containing zebrafish. This platform may be used to detect changes in phenotypes and may be used to detect alteration is specific organs in zebrafish.

Abstract: A method of conducting payment against a specific invoice using a pseudo account and provisional accounts to improve the method of payments on a large-scale transaction system. Invoices may be delivered to a desired payer, and definitively marking that invoice as paid based on a matching of pseudo account and amount information. Some embodiments may include a payment system that delivers invoices, an account provisioning system that creates or selects accounts for assignment to specific invoices, an account monitoring system to continuously monitor destination bank accounts, and a payment reconciliation system for matching inbound payments to an invoice by utilizing bank account number and amount.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning residue from components of semiconductor processing systems used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices. To effectively remove residue, the components are contacted with a gas-phase reactive material for sufficient time and under sufficient conditions to at least partially remove the residue. When the residue and the material from which the components are constructed are different, the gas-phase reactive material is selectively reactive with the residue and minimally reactive with the materials from which the components of the ion implanter are constructed. When the residue and the material from which the components are constructed is the same, then the gas-phase reactive material may be reactive with both the residue and the component part.

Each selectable information display level may include one or more visual gauges for conveying vehicle information. Each successive selectable information display level may include additional and/or alternative vehicle information when compared to the preceding selectable information display level. The information display system further includes a controller configured to display the plurality of selectable information display levels according to an at least one driver input. In this way, the information display can display a particular selectable information display level best suited to a driver's individual preferences or understanding of the vehicle's operations.

Abstract: A multi-functional, composite fuel display for displaying both fuel level information and fuel economy information is provided. The fuel level is displayed using a plurality of bar segments, each corresponding to a single unit of fuel. Once a single unit of fuel is consumed, the corresponding bar segment changes size to indicate an average fuel economy for that unit of fuel. The bar segment corresponding to the current unit of fuel being consumed changes size in real time to indicate instantaneous fuel economy. An indicator is provided over the bar segments corresponding to single unit of consumed fuel to indicate average fuel economy for the current tank of fuel.
