  • Publication number: 20220331153
    Abstract: A cold and/or hot compress system, comprising a water bag (101), an air bag (102), a water circulation assembly (2) in fluid communication with the water bag (101) and a pneumatic assembly (3) in fluid communication with the air bag (102). In the cold and/or hot compress system, the water circulation assembly (2) is independent from the pneumatic assembly (3). Therefore, during the delivery of a cooling or heating therapy, the independent pneumatic assembly (3) can be driven by an air pressure waveform defined by parameters pre-stored in a control panel (402) to cause the water bag (102) to apply cold/hot compress to a region of interest of a patient's body. Independent water and air circulation paths in the system avoid interference between water and air flows therein, allowing the system to applied more stable compress with minimized pressure errors. Moreover, a more constant water flow rate and a more uniform temperature distribution across the surface of the water bag are achievable.

  • Patent number: 11348032
    Abstract: Machine-trained models are generated based on a model description that defines parameters for training the model and that can inherit parameters from parent model descriptions. When a parent model description changes, the changes made to the parent model description are applied to the model description automatically. When a target model is re-generated, a description of the set of parameters for generating the target model is received. The parent model is then identified from the received description, and a description of the set of parameters for generating the parent model is retrieved. Using the description for the target model and the parent model, a pipeline for generating the target model is generated. Finally, the pipeline is executed to generate the target model.
