System and method for determining structural characteristics of an object
The present invention relates generally to a system and method for measuring the structural characteristics of an object. The object is subjected to an energy application processes and provides an objective, quantitative measurement of structural characteristics of an object. The system may include a device, for example, a percussion instrument, capable of being reproducibly placed against the object undergoing such measurement for reproducible positioning. The structural characteristics as defined herein may include vibration damping capacities, acoustic damping capacities, structural integrity or structural stability.

QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF PROSTHESIS PRESS-FIT FIXATION
A system and method for quantitatively assessing a press fit value (and provide a mechanism to evaluate optimal quantitative values) of any implant/bone interface regardless the variables involved including bone site preparation, material properties of bone and implant, implant geometry and coefficient of friction of the implant-bone interface without requiring a visual positional assessment of a depth of insertion. The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements.
Systems, methods, and media for selectively presenting images captured by confocal laser endomicroscopy
In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, systems, methods, and media for selectively presenting images captured by confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) are provided. In some embodiments, a method comprises: receiving images captured by a CLE device during brain surgery; providing the images to a convolution neural network (CNN) trained using at least a plurality of images of brain tissue captured by a CLE device and labeled diagnostic or non-diagnostic; receiving an indication, from the CNN, likelihoods that the images are diagnostic images; determining, based on the likelihoods, which of the images are diagnostic images; and in response to determining that an image is a diagnostic image, causing the image to be presented during the brain surgery.

A MEDICAL DEVICE FOR APPLYING FORCE TO THE BODY OF A SUBJECT DURING EXAMINATION, TREATMENT OR DIAGNOSIS
A medical device is for applying a force to the body of a subject by means of a force application surface. A material structure has an input for receiving a manual input force from a user of the medical device, and an output coupled to the force application surface for delivering an output force. The material structure implements a force transfer function which includes a force limiting function, so that a limited known force is applied to the body of the subject.
