  • Publication number: 20240095238
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for manufactured dataset generation and management. An example method includes receiving, by communications hardware, a user input set indicating data manufacture requirements. The example method also includes generating, by query generation circuitry, a manufactured dataset library query based on the data manufacture requirements. The example method also includes receiving, by the communications hardware and based on an execution of the manufactured dataset library query, a set of results comprising one or more manufactured datasets of a manufactured dataset library, the one or more manufactured datasets having been previously generated based on one or more previously received user input sets. The example method also includes generating, by dataset generation circuitry, a manufactured dataset based on the set of results.

  • Patent number: 5140988
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining a condemnation condition in a post mortem animal intended for human consumption is taught hereinabove. The apparatus includes an ultrasound machine, including a probe, wherein the probe is positioned on the animal such that a cross-sectional image of the portion of the animal to be examined is shown. An image analyzer determines and identifies a pattern of anatomically distinct tissue and bone outline of the animal shown on the image. Pattern recognition equipment compares the pattern of tissue and bone outline with a norm reference for a healthy animal and at least one known deformation pattern for tissue of animals requiring condemnation. If a greater correlation with one of the known deformation patterns than with the norm reference pattern is shown then, means for indicating a condemnation condition for the animal are activated. Also taught hereinabove, is a method of developing further tests for determining a condemnation condition in an animal.
