Abstract: A system and method for automatic coding out biases in applications, systems, and processes are disclosed. A processor operatively connected to a memory via a communication interface applies an intake process based on received inventory data to applications, systems, and processes and implements a machine learning model in response to applying the intake process. The processor also identifies areas of the potential bias data within the applications, systems, and processes by utilizing the machine learning model based on analyzing response data received during the intake process; generates output data that includes bias data and exceptions data identified for the applications, systems, and processes; and mitigates the bias data and exceptions data in response to the output data by implementing a mitigation process.

Abstract: A motion stabilizing system includes at least one stabilizer coupled to a structure in a water environment. Each stabilizer includes a tension member, an open-ended container having a set of holes, and at least one one-way valve associated with the holes. For each stabilizer, the tension member has a first end and a second end with the first end coupled to a portion of the structure and the second end disposed in the water environment; the container is coupled to the tension member and is suspended in the water environment; and the one or more one-way valves are operable to seal the holes when the portion of the structure moves away from the container and unseal the holes when the portion of the structure moves towards the container.

Abstract: A child safety seat includes a base, a seat body and a spin lock mechanism. The seat body is movably disposed on the base and switchable relative to the base between two different positions. The spin lock mechanism includes a pivoting component and a locking component. The pivoting component is pivotally connected to one of the base and the seat body. A driving slot is formed on the pivoting component. The locking component is for engaging with and disengaging from the other of the base and the seat body and movably passes through the driving slot along a direction substantially parallel to an engaging direction and a disengaging direction of the locking component. The locking component can be driven by pivoting movement of the pivoting component to disengage from the other of the base and the seat body to allow switching movement of the seat body relative to the base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel fecal guard device. The device is a disposable, sanitary fecal matter guard for patients who no longer meet FDA approved guidelines for an indwelling fecal management catheter. The guard device prevents fecal matter from infiltrating a stage 4 wound on the sacrum during healing. The fecal guard device comprises a body component shaped as a funnel with small gauze covered foam insert within the hollow opening. The body component is placed near the sacrum wound, cleaned according to medical guidelines as recommended by the medical team. The wound is covered with gauze and anti-fungal cream. The anus is covered with gauze and anti-fungal cream or powder to preserve integrity of the skin. The body component is secured via gauze tape onto gauze covering near sacrum wound. The body component acts as a shield, leaving wound on sacrum untouched by fecal matter.
