  • Publication number: 20240126936
    Abstract: A multi-scale aggregation pattern analysis method for a complex traffic network is provided, which belongs to the field of the highway traffic network. Firstly, an adjacency matrix, a position attribute matrix, a distance weight matrix, a road grade matrix, and a time-phased traffic congestion degree matrix of a highway traffic network are calculated; secondly, a weight influence factor of the road network is incorporated based on a PageRank algorithm to determine order of critical nodes; finally, a two-dimensional decision diagram is drawn by two indicators: order of critical nodes and a shortest path distance. A new weighting matrix which accords with the actual situation of the road network is obtained by incorporating a position weight matrix, a distance weight matrix, a road grade weight matrix and a dynamic traffic congestion degree weight matrix based on a similarity matrix of the spectral clustering.

  • Publication number: 20240093443
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a double-deck multi-span bridge construction method. According to the double-deck bridge construction method of the present disclosure, construction is carried out by using a method of disassembling a support jig frame in a graded and span-separated mode, an upper chord jig frame and a lower chord jig frame can be used in a recycle manner, and construction costs are reduced. In addition, a construction period of building the support jig frame is shortened, and other construction operations can be synchronously carried out on a span in which the jig frame is disassembled, for example, fire retardant coating construction can be carried out on a mounted bridge deck after the jig frame is disassembled, and the construction period of a double-deck multi-span bridge is effectively shortened.

  • Patent number: 11935634
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11243824
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure enable creation and management of representations of content through the execution of copy actions, paste actions or a combination thereof. An indication of a copy action is received that copies a content portion. The copy action is analyzed to generate a (live) representation of the content portion. Other examples of representations are also generatable including a static representation and/or a live non-editable representation. As an example, a live representation is an editable and synchronized representation of the content portion that is synchronized with original source content. The live representation comprises a selectable data link that links back to the original source content and an editable representation of the content portion. In response to receiving an indication of a paste action, the live representation of the content portion is automatically rendered inline within a graphical user interface of a host application/service endpoint.
