  • Patent number: 11963500
    Abstract: A novel maize variety designated X18N926 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X18N926 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X18N926 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X18N926, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X18N926 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X18N926 and methods of using maize variety X18N926 are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11783193
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing operations comprising: receiving one or more images from an image capture device of a medical treatment location; applying a trained machine learning model to the one or more images to detect presence of a patient in the medical treatment location, the trained machine learning model being trained to establish a relationship between one or more features of images of the medical treatment location and patient presence; generating context assessment for the medical treatment location based on the detected presence of the patient; and transmitting, over a network, the context assessment for presentation on a user interface of a client device.

  • Publication number: 20220233272
    Abstract: A system can perform image capture during a medical procedure. The system can record video from one or more video sources. The system can store the recorded video in a cached memory as stored video. The system can receive a triggering event, such as receiving a signal, operation of an actuator, or issuance of a voice command. In response to the triggering event, the system can capture a video segment from the stored video. Because the video segment is captured from stored video, the video segment can optionally include video and/or frames that occurred before the triggering event is received.
