Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to shunt delivery systems and associated methods for delivering and deploying adjustable shunts. In some embodiments, the delivery systems include a first arm and a second arm configured to be coupled to and movable relative to one another, and a locking mechanism operably coupled to the first arm and configured to releasably engage the second arm to at least partially prevent movement of one or both of the first arm and the second arm relative to one another. During an adjustable shunt implantation procedure, a user can actuate the locking mechanism to at least partially prevent movement of one or both of the first arm and the second arm relative to one another, receive the adjustable shunt at the implant delivery system, and position the adjustable shunt at a target location within the patient.

Abstract: To reduce the processing load of a computer vision system, a set of artificial intelligence based pre-processing subsystems identify objects of interest in motion and create data about those objects. The computer vision processing can then be directed to only considering the identified objects of interest, thus reducing the processing required. When two identified objects are determined to be within a threshold distance of each other, a close-proximity detection subsystem can generate an alert, or trigger an event in one or more systems.

Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to shunt delivery systems and associated methods for delivering and deploying adjustable shunts. In some embodiments, the delivery systems include a device that can be easily held and manipulated by a physician or other user during an implant procedure. In some embodiments, the delivery system can be configured to facilitate priming of the adjustable shunt, such as before implantation of the adjustable shunt. In at least some embodiments, for example, the delivery system can include one or more priming ports or apertures fluidly coupled to the intraocular shunting system at least when the delivery system is in the first state. Fluid can be introduced into the delivery system via individual ones of the priming ports and flow toward and/or into the adjustable shunt to thereby “prime” the adjustable shunt.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of partitions containing records spanning a time interval, wherein the records include a set of values for a metric and a set of dimensions associated with the set of values. For each dimensional subset associated with the set of dimensions, the system aggregates, based on the set of partitions, a corresponding subset of values for the metric into a distribution-based representation of the metric. The system then stores a dictionary encoding of the dimensional subset in association with the distribution-based representation of the metric. Finally, the system calculates, based on the distribution-based representation, one or more quantiles associated with the dimensional subset and outputs the quantile(s) for use in characterizing a distribution of the metric.

Abstract: A plastic container includes a first portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a second portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange. The first portion and the second portion define a container volume. The plastic container also includes a hinge joining the peripheral flange of the first portion and the peripheral flange of the second portion. The hinge includes a pivot line and two arcuate segments proximate to respective ends of the pivot line. The pivot line is tangent the peripheral flange of the first portion and tangent to at least a portion of each arcuate segment. The flange of the first portion can extend further than the flange of the second portion proximate each end of the pivot line to create a seamless periphery about the hinge relative to a periphery of the first portion when the container is closed.
