Abstract: A surgery visualization system is described herein. The surgery visualization system includes a display monitor positioned in view of a surgeon and a support arm system including a first support arm and a second support arm. The first and second support arms are orientated such that the display monitor is visible to the surgeon between the first and second support arms. A 3D digital viewport coupled to the first support arm. A 3D digital microscope coupled to the second support arm. A computer system including a processor programmed to receive and process images from the 3D digital microscope and display the processed images on the 3D digital viewport and the display monitor.

Abstract: Examples of the invention relate to a compression fastener and methods of use, including using an inserter to apply a pre-stress to the compression fastener, for compressing first and second bone portions or a bone portion together.

Abstract: A surgery visualization theatre comprising: an augmented/extended reality (AXR) headset; a digital viewport mounted on a cobotic arm; a monitor mounted on a monitor cobotic arm; a camera subsystem mounted on a camera cobotic arm; and a frame with cobotic arms featuring intelligence and command and control for the system and visualization methodologies, where the digital viewport cobotic arm, the monitor cobotic arm, and the camera cobotic arm are mounted on the frame and the AXR headset is connected thereto.

Abstract: An augmented/extended reality (AXR) headset for use with a surgery visualization system is described herein. The AXR headset includes a wearable support frame, one or more forward-facing cameras pivotably mounted to the wearable support frame, an imaging system mounted to the wearable support frame, and a control logic processor coupled to the one or more front facing cameras and the image generator, and programmed to execute an algorithm including the steps of receiving image data from the one or more forward-facing cameras and operating the image generator to display the received image data onto the curved mirror.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a gradient boosting decision tree for obtaining predictions includes finding split points by sorting variable values of a feature by their gradient during training of the gradient boosting decision tree, performing a linear search to find a subset of variables with maximum split gain, and modifying a node of the gradient boosting decision tree to have multiple split points on the node for a feature as a function of the linear search. In a further example, a computer implemented method of controlling overfitting in a gradient boosting decision tree includes combining values of low population feature values into a virtual bin, fanning out the virtual bin into feature values having a low population, and including the low population feature values into multiple split points on a node of the gradient boosting decision tree.

Abstract: An augmented reality and extended reality surgical system comprising three 3D viewing options of: (i) an AR/XR headset or headsets, (ii) one or more autostereoscopic “3D glasses free” monitor(s); and (iii) one or more digital ocular stereoscopic 3D viewports which is mounted to a cobotic arm viewing option for ergonomically sound viewing. The system may comprise a wearable device, such as a head mounted display or glasses, that provides the user with virtual reality, augmented reality, and/or mixed reality for surgery visualization. This system is all digital and features both wired and wireless connections that have approximately the same latency of less than 20 milliseconds. This may allow the user to access 2D or 3D imaging, magnification, virtual visualization, six-degrees of freedom (6DoF) image management, and/or other images while still viewing real reality and thus maintaining a presence in the operating room.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and processing techniques for modifying or changing a financial transaction that is being processed, such as for the purchase of goods or services. Methods of the present invention, in particular, relate to methods including the ability to use fixed or variable data, as such data is sent to a financial transaction processor, in order to modify the transaction, and thus changing the financial transaction that is being processed or the method of processing the financial transaction. The modifications that are made to the transaction enhance security to the buyer by disclosing less data during the transaction for others to potentially gain access.
