  • Publication number: 20230414224
    Abstract: A medical device system includes an elongate sheath defining a lumen extending within the elongate sheath. A coupler mechanism is slidingly disposed within the lumen, the coupler mechanism including a proximal coupler and a distal coupler. An elongate member is secured to and extends proximally from the proximal coupler. An implantable medical device (IMD) is secured to and extends distally from the distal coupler. The distal coupler remains secured to the proximal coupler while the coupler mechanism remains within the lumen, and the distal coupler releases from the proximal coupler, thereby releasing the IMD, when the coupler mechanism is exterior to the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20230343118
    Abstract: Examples herein include methods, systems, and computer program products for utilizing neural networks in ultrasound systems. The methods include processor(s) of a computing device obtaining an image that depicts cells. The processor(s) applies one or more nuclei detection algorithms to detect nuclear aspects in the image. The processor(s) generates a nuclear segmentation map. The processor(s) utilizes the nuclear segmentation map to identify one or more regions of interest in the image. The processor(s) generates a classification result by automatically determining a cell type for each cell in a region of interest of the regions of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230246322
    Abstract: Telemedicine systems and methods are described. In a telemedicine system operable to communicate with a remote operations center, communications can be transmitted/received using a transceiver having an antenna. The antenna can include first and second di-pole antenna elements, the first di-pole antenna element being vertically polarized and the second di-pole antenna element being horizontally polarized. A controller of the system can establish, using the transceiver, a telemedicine session with the operations center using a Transport Morphing Protocol (TMP), the TMP being an acknowledgement-based user datagram protocol. The controller can also mask one or more transient network degradations to increase resiliency of the telemedicine session.
