  • Publication number: 20240013925
    Abstract: A method can include receiving, at a computer system, characteristic values of a pregnancy of a subject. As an example, the characteristic values can include a numerical value for a live birth order of the pregnancy for the subject. The computer system can store a machine learning model that receives a first set of input features and provides a second set of one or more output values. In some embodiments, the first set of input features can correspond to the characteristic values of the pregnancy of the subject. The second set of one or more output values can include a probability of a Cesarean delivery. The characteristic values can be input into the machine learning model to obtain the probability of the Cesarean delivery being required for the subject during an attempt of a vaginal delivery. The Cesarean delivery can be performed based on the probability.

  • Patent number: 6668471
    Abstract: A multifunctional, self-contained towable backhoe apparatus adapted for direct over-the-road trailering by a towing vehicle, has a support frame having a front and a rear, and a trailering hitch attached to the front. Wheels support the frame at the front and the rear. The rear wheels can function as drive wheels. A backfill blade is movably attached to the rear of the frame. An articulated arm assembly is pivotably mounted on the rear of the frame. A stabilizer with a street pad, a spade, or both, can be secured to the front of the frame for stabilizing the apparatus while in a digging position. The movable backfill blade is capable of movement to a raised position for supporting the articulated arm during transport and movement to at least one lowered ground-engaging position capable of stabilizing the apparatus, of earth moving, or a combination thereof. One end of the articulated arm is adapted for attachment of a tool, including a digging bucket, a pavement breaker, an auger, a grapple, or a fork.

  • Patent number: 4759239
    Abstract: A wrench assembly for making and breaking connections between tubular members, such as a drill string and a top drive sub. The wrench assembly consists of a lower wrench and an upper wrench. The lower wrench has a curved gate arm and a curved latch arm, pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The gate arm has a plurality of teeth on its outer surface, and the latch arm has a plurality of teeth on its inner surface, for locking engagement with the teeth on the gate arm. The lower wrench also has a clamping cylinder and a die block for forcing the tubular member against the gate arm. The upper wrench, mounted above the lower wrench, has a semicircular plate. A plurality of splines are mounted on the interior surface of the semicircular plate for engagement with splines on the top drive sub. A fluid cylinder is provided for applying torque to the wrenches to rotate one of the wrenches with respect to the other wrenches.
