Patent number: 11935634Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alexander Mossin, Alvin Rajkomar, Eyal Oren, James Wilson, James Wexler, Patrik Sundberg, Andrew Dai, Yingwei Cui, Gregory Corrado, Hector Yee, Jacob Marcus, Jeffrey Dean, Benjamin Irvine, Kai Chen, Kun Zhang, Michaela Hardt, Xiaomi Sun, Nissan Hajaj, Peter Junteng Liu, Quoc Le, Xiaobing Liu, Yi Zhang

Patent number: 7661634Abstract: A keyed channel strut mounted connector device includes channel engagement structure connected to attachment structure. The channel engagement structure includes a key for engaging the channel, and an octagonal neck connecting the key to a boss surmounting the attachment structure. The neck includes clearance facets permitting the key to pass into the longitudinal channel, and relief facets defining support shoulders on the key for supporting the key on the inwardly turned sidewalls of a channel strut. Two pairs of opposed support shoulders permit installation of the device for supporting a run of cables or pipes parallel with the longitudinal axis of the strut, or rotation of the device 90° for supporting the cables or pipes transverse to the strut. By rotating the device 180° in either direction, the head and tail ends of the attachment structure can be reversed without changing the parallel or transverse orientation of the attachment structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: DT Search & Designs, LLCInventor: Alvin Dean Thompson

Patent number: 7628659Abstract: An enhanced cable assembly for field data distribution system includes a cable member formed by a plurality of twisted conductor pairs bundled within a conductive shield and an insulative sheath. The cable assembly is terminated by a pair of multi-contact cable connectors, each including a conductive shell, a contact array board supported in the shell, and a weather seal. The cable connectors are of a standard configuration for use with standardized field data distribution boxes. The contact board array is of such a configuration as to enable two cable connectors to be joined to thereby interconnect two such cables. The enhanced cable assembly is constructed to comply with Category 5E specifications.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2009Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: DT Search & Designs LLCInventor: Alvin Dean Thompson

Patent number: 7625248Abstract: A field data distribution system with a fiber optic converter includes a weatherproof housing with a hinged lid, a panel positioned in the housing and having a plurality of pairs of insulation displacement connector units mounted thereon, and a pair of multi-terminal box connectors on opposite sides thereof. A double pole, single throw switch interconnects each connector unit of a pair to perform testing functions. Auxiliary connectors are interconnected to selected pairs or groups of pairs of the connector units. The connector units and auxiliary connectors enable the connection of communication devices, such as telephone sets, to cables connected to the distribution box, as well as computer modems and network interface adapters. One of the auxiliary connectors is connected to media converter circuitry for converting between an optical data signal interfaced to an optical connector and an electrical data signal interfaced to the auxiliary connector.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2008Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: DT Search & Designs LLCInventor: Alvin Dean Thompson
