Patent number: 11997928Abstract: An integrated combustor-thermoelectric generator and method for producing electrical power and/or for operating a pneumatic or electric device. The apparatus includes a burner tube, a tubular heat exchanger extending along and around the burner tube, a plurality of thermoelectric generators disposed along sides of the heat exchanger, and a heat sink on an opposite side of the thermoelectric generators from the burner and heat exchanger. The thermoelectric generators can be paired with an electric valve or a DC air compressor for operating a pneumatic device by directing heated gases from the combustor through the heat exchanger to thermoelectric couples and/or modules for powering the air compressor. The thermoelectric generator and DC compressor can be installed to a natural gas source at a well pad for operating a pneumatic device at the well pad.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: GTI ENERGYInventors: Abdelallah Ahmed, John C.

Publication number: 20240153648Abstract: A computational evidence platform extracts clinical concepts from medical evidence sources and creates a database of elemental diagnostic factors and elemental investigations links to medical conditions. Input from a person groups factors and investigations makes corrections and adds a ranking Elemental factors and investigations do not include information specific to their associated conditions but include synonyms and a link to a medical ontology. A patient state is determined by extracting patient known diagnostic factors and investigation results from the patient chart. These known factors and results are matched to the database and a ranking of likely conditions are output. Next-best actions per condition are output by determining factors not yet known and investigations not yet performed. Next-best actions across conditions are determined by performing a recursive tree search of the database and assuming that unknown factors are now known to generate a score for each assumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Carl BATE, Wian STIPP, Thomas UNGER, David A.

Patent number: 11221727Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating and editing a visual interlocking block based program in a collaborative communication session. The visual interlocking block based program utilizes a single-page interface divided into an available segments region and a workspace region. Users drag visual program blocks from the available segments region into the workspace region in forming a visual program. The visual program blocks automatically interlock with one another in a pipeline to form an ordered sequence of visual program blocks making up the visual program. Each visual program block includes an icon that defines a specific programming function for a particular type of the visual program block. When arranged in the ordered sequence of the pipeline, the icons of the visual program blocks align to form a hieroglyph that identifies the visual program, a functionality of the visual program, and execution speeds of the visual program.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Avaya Management L.P.Inventors: Jose Fernando Alvarez Rodriguez, David May, Swapnil Parashar, Brian Varley
