  • Publication number: 20240029865
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing an imaging discovery utility for augmenting clinical image management. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a request for a first medical image file(s) from a requesting device, a non-relational (“NoSQL”) data management system (“DMS”) may access a NoSQL database containing, inter alia, a plurality of medical image files that are mirrored copies of a plurality of medical image files stored in a relational (“SQL”) database, the medical image files each being organized in an image-centric hierarchy with image data being at a top level and patient information associated with the image data being at a lower level. Based on a successful search of the NoSQL database based on search terms in the request, the NoSQL DMS may identify a corresponding second medical image(s) in the SQL database, and may retrieve and send (to the requesting device) the identified second medical image(s).

  • Patent number: 11571852
    Abstract: An extruder of a three-dimensional printer may be coupled with one or more filament tubes, each filament tube having its own supply of filament. The extruder may include a drive gear rotatable in a first direction to advance a filament from a filament tube toward at least one extrusion opening defined by the extruder and rotatable in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to advance another filament from a different filament tube toward the at least one extrusion opening defined by the extruder. Also, as one filament is advanced by the drive gear, another filament may be retracted by the drive gear to improve the switching of filaments in a three-dimensional printing process. The extruder may work in conjunction with a filament supply-side drive system that feeds filament into one or more filament tubes, reducing a pull force exerted by the drive gear of the extruder.

  • Publication number: 20220108257
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for producing ideal experience metrics and associated evaluation platform to objectively compare competing products (or services) or prototypes using a unique scoring algorithm. Consumer feedback data is provided to the system of the present invention to determine an objective score for each criterion. The system may also determine an overall score for the product or service being evaluated. Using the present invention, a provider of a product or service may objectively compare a feature or attribute of the product or service to competing products or services through the use of rated Benefits, Features, and Attributes.

  • Publication number: 20210279633
    Abstract: An algorithmic real-time learning engine comprising an algorithmic model generator configured to process a set of system variables from a big data source using at least one of a pattern recognition algorithm and a statistical test algorithm to identify patterns, relationships between variables, and important variables; and generate at least one of: a predictive model based on the identified patterns, relationships between variables, and important variables; statistical test model about correlations, differences between variables, or patterns in time across variables; and recurring clusters model of similar observations across variables. A data preprocessor can select system variables of interest, align the selected system variables based on time, and arrange the aligned variables into rows. The selected system variables can also be aggregated based on a pre-defined aggregate.

  • Publication number: 20210259795
    Abstract: According to an exemplary aspect, a tool for installing and/or removing a protective cover of an instrument includes a body portion having an open end and a closed end. The open end defines an interior passage that extends into the body portion along a longitudinal axis of the body portion toward the closed end of the body portion. The interior passage is configured to receive at least a portion of the protective cover in the interior passage. One or more members are connected to the body portion, and each of the one or more members includes a free end movable relative to the body portion. Systems and methods relate to tools for installing and/or removing protective covers of instruments.
