Abstract: In clinical documentation, mere documentation of a condition in a patient's records may not be enough. To be considered sufficiently documented, the patient's record needs to show that no documentation drop-offs (DDOs) have occurred over the course of the patient's stay. However, DDOs can be extremely difficult to detect. To solve this problem, the invention trains time-sensitive deep learning (DL) models on a per condition basis using actual and/or synthetic patient data. Utilizing an ontology, grouped concepts can be generated on the fly from real-time hospital data and used to generate time-series data that can then be analyzed by trained time-sensitive DL models to determine whether a DDO for a condition has occurred during the stay. Non-time-sensitive models can be used to detect all the conditions documented during the stay. Outcomes from the models can be compared to determine whether to notify a user that a DDO has occurred.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for high granularity metric (HGM)-based control for smart contract execution. In accordance with some aspects, a function call associated with one or more methods of a smart contract on a blockchain is detected by identifying an entrance or exit of the function call in a kernel for smart contract execution on the blockchain. The function call is added to a function call stack, and one or more detected HGMs are identified in the function call stack. A comparison of the detected HGMs in the function call stack against one or more control rules is performed. Execution or completion of the function call is blocked based on the comparison.

A first convolutional neural network (CNN) receives the image data from the front-facing camera and yields a set of sign predictions including one or more sign text instances. A second CNN defining a text extractor receives the image data from the front-facing camera and extracts text candidates including the multiple sign text instances. Sign and sign data localization is provided in the second CNN to compute a text order from the multiple sign text instances. A sign text synthesizer module receives individual sign text instances from the first CNN and individual ones of the sign text instances in digitized forms from an optical character recognizer (OCR). A semantic encoding and interpretation module receives the sign text instances and identifies semantics of the multiple road signs.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for system level function based access control for smart contract execution on a blockchain. Access control rules control function calls at a system level by utilizing function boundary detection instrumentation in a kernel that executes smart contracts. The detection instrumentation generates a call stack that represents a chain of function calls in the kernel for execution of a smart contract. The access control rules are applied to the function call stack to allow or prohibit specific functions or function call chains. Access control rules can also define allowed or prohibited parameter data in the function call chain. If the function call chain or parameters do not meet the requirements defined in the access control rules, then the function call can be blocked from executing or completing execution. The access control rules can produce sophisticated access control policies based on complex function call chains.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-invasive method for generating human three-dimensional nasopharyngeal organoids, including non-invasively collecting nasopharyngeal swab samples; culturing the samples in a matrix with niche factors; and obtaining the three-dimensional human nasopharyngeal organoids after culturing the samples in the matrix for 14-21 days. The three-dimensional human nasopharyngeal organoids are then dissociated into a single cell suspension for the creation of human two-dimensional nasopharyngeal organoids. The present nasopharyngeal organoids and their preparation method enable the rapid expansion of stem cells to form organoids within a short period of time. By combining organoid passaging techniques, a sufficient number of organoids can be obtained within a limited time for research and experimental operations.
