    摘要: Systems and methods for preparing a bone for a surgical procedure are provided. In general, the described techniques use a surgical guide device including a cannula having first and second parallel elongate channels adjacent to one another, and first and second elongate sleeves configured to be removably and replaceably received in the first and second channels, respectively. The first sleeve has a plurality of openings formed therein, each being in communication with a respective wire-receiving lumen extending through the first sleeve. Each of the openings defines a different offset distance between the wire-receiving lumen in communication with that opening and a wire-receiving lumen extending through the second sleeve. The surgical device can be manipulated so as to define positions of first and second openings in a bone, such as a glenoid or other bone, to receive bone screws or other elements for attaching a bone graft to the bone.

    摘要: Cartridges for vaporizer devices are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the cartridge can include a reservoir housing having a storage chamber and a dispensing chamber, and a vaporization chamber in communication with the dispensing chamber. The storage chamber is configured to hold a first fraction of a vaporizable material and the dispensing chamber is configured to hold a second fraction of the vaporizable material. The dispensing chamber is further configured to selectively dispense at least a first portion of the second fraction of the vaporizable material through at least one dispense opening in response to generation of one or more pressure pulses created within the dispensing chamber. The vaporizable chamber is configured to receive the dispensed vaporizable material from the dispensing chamber for vaporization by a first heating element to form a vaporized material. Vaporizer devices are also provided.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and devices for predicting whether a user has a target health condition using eye images. Automated guidance is provided to the user to obtain, using a computing device operated by the user, images including the user's sclera, each of the images corresponding to a guided direction of the user's gaze. Images are received from the computing device by way of a network. Images are subject to verification that sufficiently show the user's sclera, including by estimating a direction of the user's gaze and confirming that the estimated direction for a given one of the images conforms with the guided direction. Feature-enhanced image data are generated by applying an autoencoder to enhance features corresponding to the user's sclera in the images. A prediction of whether the user has the target health condition is generated by providing the feature-enhanced image data to a convolutional neural network.
