  • Publication number: 20230136564
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for using agents at a data lake to assist training, testing, and deploying a model for predicting one or more outputs from specified input to the model, using agents at the data lake. The agents identify at the data lake: hardware resources, a first portion of model input data for training and testing the model, a training language, and a first software resource. A first execution of the first software resource is triggered to split the first portion of the model input data into training input data and testing input data. A first portion of the hardware resources is identified for training and testing the model. A second software resource stored at the data lake is identified for optimizing the model in accordance with an optimization algorithm. Training the model at the data lake is triggered.

  • Publication number: 20230125402
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. The system can include a first chamber with an inner cavity including a first constituent and an outer cavity concentric with the first cavity and including a second constituent. A partition can be openable and separate the first and second cavities. A second chamber can include a third constituent and be concentric with the first chamber. Moving the first chamber and/or the second chamber relative to the other can cause the partition to open so that the first constituent and the second constituent mix with each other to form a first mixture. Applying a force to the system can cause the first mixture and the third constituent to egress through distal portions of the first and second chambers and mix together to form the mixture for delivery to the treatment site.

  • Patent number: 11633823
    Abstract: A minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) tool including a lance. The lance includes a passageway and an orifice. The passageway extends axially from a first end of the lance toward a second end of the lance and allows a lubricant supply to flow therein from the first end of the lance toward the second end of the lance. The first orifice extends radially through the lance at a location near the second end of the lance. The lubricant supply flowing through the passageway exits the orifice and is impinged upon by air flowing around the lance.

  • Publication number: 20220313169
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a first classification assigned to a periodic component of an electrical waveform that represents electrical activity in a patient's heart may be identified. A corresponding periodic component of a hemodynamic waveform that represents hemodynamic activity in the patient's cardiovascular system may be analyzed. The corresponding periodic component may be causally related to the periodic component of the electrical waveform. Based on the analysis, the previously-assigned classification may be assigned to the corresponding periodic component of the hemodynamic waveform in response to a determination, based on the analyzing, that the previously-assigned classification also applies to the corresponding periodic component. In a database of hemodynamic templates, a hemodynamic template associated with the previously-assigned classification may be updated to include one or more features of the corresponding periodic component of the hemodynamic waveform.

  • Patent number: 11435845
    Abstract: A system for recognizing gestures generates a skeletal model from video data of a subject. A defined subset of attributes of the skeletal model are mapped to defined positions of a vector. A gesture is recognized by evaluating a neural network using the vector as input. The neural network, trained using training vectors generated according to the definitions of skeletal model attributes and vector positions, classifies a gesture based on the input vector.
