  • Patent number: 11969265
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training and implementing a machine learning algorithm to generate feature maps depicting spatial patterns of features associated with osteolysis, synovitis, or both. MRI data, including multispectral imaging data, are input to the trained machine learning algorithm to generate the feature maps, which may indicate features such as a location and probability of a pathology classification, a severity of synovitis, a type of synovitis, a synovial membrane thickness, and other features associated with osteolysis or synovitis. In some implementations, synovial anatomy are segmented in the MRI data before inputting the MRI data to the machine learning algorithm. These segmented MRI data may be generated using another trained machine learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11028595
    Abstract: A fabric panel attaching system and methods of assembly and use are presented for attaching fabric panels to structural elements, such as building frames. In various embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system includes a keder rail fastened to support bar, which is attached to a structural profile, such as a building frame member. In some embodiments, the keder rail is fastened to a support bar with bolt and nut. One or more fabric panels are installed within channels of the keder rail. An alignment element may be used with a fastener to assist in aligning abutting sections of keder rail. In various embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system is secured to flat or curvilinear faces of the structural elements. In some embodiments, the fabric panel attachment system may secure directly to the structural element and not a support bar.

  • Patent number: 8271359
    Abstract: A device and method for permitting access to a real time data stream through prepayments or other payment arrangements and/or calculating a fee corresponding to usage of a real time data stream, wherein the real time data stream includes transcript data from a court transcription. In one example, a device may include a data collection device for receiving prepayment data, such as a code, key, token, pass that may contain purchase units therein; and a counter. In one embodiment, if the counter contains a value representing unused real time connections, then the data collection device permits the computing device to access to the real time data stream. In one example, the prepayment data includes a code containing a number representing a quantity of connections that may be made to the real time data stream.

  • Patent number: 7689900
    Abstract: A method for electronically signing an electronic transcript. The method includes a first hash operation performed on the electronic transcript to generate a representation of the contents of the electronic transcript. Data identifying the user is concatenated to the representation of the contents of the electronic transcript, and a second hash operation is performed on the data and the representation. The second hash operation generates a representation of the contents of the electronic transcript and the data. The representation of the contents of the electronic transcript and the data is recorded/time stamped by a digital notary service, from which a notary record of the time stamping is obtained from the digital notary service. The notary record is digitally signed, and an electronically signed electronic transcript is formed by bundling the digitally signed notary record with the electronic transcript and with the data identifying the user.

  • Patent number: 6869018
    Abstract: A method for transferring annotations associated with a draft electronic transcript to a revised electronic transcript, the method determines if the revised electronic transcript is derived from the draft electronic transcript, and if so, creates annotations in the revised electronic transcript based on the annotations associated with the draft electronic transcript.

  • Publication number: 20030055828
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing off-line and on-line transcript projects which may contain electronic transcripts and user-created annotations or notations which are electronically associated with the respective electronic transcripts. The method includes providing a database containing one or more electronic transcript files and having one or more sets of annotations associated with the one or more electronic transcript files, the database being accessible over a network. An off-line database is created in a user device, the off-line database containing a copy of at least one of the electronic transcript files and a copy of at least one set of the annotations. In the user device, a user may manipulate the copy of at least one set of the annotations, while the user device is not connected to the network, to form an off-line version of the annotations.
