  • Patent number: 11789930
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for managing and sharing picture files. In one embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises providing a server platform and providing a datastore on the server platform for maintaining full resolution copies of the files shared between a plurality of sharing clients. A synchronization engine is provided on the server platform and is configured to send real-time updates to a plurality of sharing clients when at least one of the sharing clients updates or changes one of said files. A web interface may also be provided that allows a user to access files in the datastore through the use of a web browser.

  • Patent number: 11554568
    Abstract: A machine for forming a container from a blank of sheet material includes an outer body frame, a mandrel mounted to the body frame, a lifting assembly coupled to the body frame, and a lateral presser assembly and a folding arm assembly coupled to the lifting assembly, wherein the lifting assembly moves the lateral presser assembly and the folding arm assembly in a first direction and an opposite, second direction. A folding arm servomechanism is operatively connected to a folding arm of the folding arm assembly and rotates the folding arm relative to the mandrel to wrap a first portion of the blank around the mandrel. A lateral presser servomechanism is operatively connected to an engaging bar of the lateral presser assembly and rotates the engaging bar relative to the mandrel to wrap a second portion of the blank around the mandrel to at least partially form the container.

  • Publication number: 20210398650
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing electronic imaging data obtained from medical imaging procedures, with use of trained artificial intelligence (AI) models, are disclosed herein. In an example, a use of a medical evaluation workflow involving an AI model includes: obtaining image data and non-image data associated with a medical imaging study; using at least one AI model to analyze the image data, with the trained AI model being validated with a defined governance standard to identify a characteristic or particular type of characteristic; identifying the characteristic with the AI model; and communicating the identified characteristic to a location associated with evaluation of the medical imaging study.

  • Patent number: 10937164
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing electronic imaging data obtained from medical imaging procedures are disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to data processing mechanisms for medical imaging and diagnostic workflows involving the use of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, artificial neural networks, and related algorithms that perform machine recognition of specific features and conditions in imaging data. In an example, a deep learning model is selected for automated image recognition of a particular medical condition on image data, and applied to the image data to recognize characteristics of the particular medical condition. Based on the characteristics recognized by the automated image recognition on the image data, an electronic workflow for performing a diagnostic evaluation of the medical imaging study may be modified, updated, or prioritized.
