Publication number: 20240127957Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to inferring a type of multiple sclerosis and determining whether to output an alert based on codes detected within noisy assessment data corresponding to a subject. The noisy assessment data includes content originating from a care provider that identifies a characteristic of the subject or of a treatment for the subject, and the subject has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. A temporal dynamic or distribution is determined based on instances of the code detection, and a modulation is determined based on the temporal dynamic or the distribution. It is determined whether an alert criterion is satisfied based on whether the modulation is above a threshold so as to represent noise or a predicted transition across types of multiple sclerosis. The inferred type of multiple sclerosis is output. When the alert criterion is satisfied, an alert is output as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicants: GENENTECH, INC., HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC.Inventors: Shemra Rizzo, Kelly Anne Zalocusky, Katherine Anne Belendiuk, Nicole Gidaya Bonine, Yifeng Chia, Laura Gaetano, Ryan William Gan, Jumaah Ingram Goldberg, Xiaoming Jia

Patent number: 11928964Abstract: A parking availability predictor system provides a prediction of parking availability that meets a user's specified needs. When the user submits a query for parking availability, he can include desired parking criteria such as location, handicapped status, and desired time to begin parking. The system consults a parking occupancy model which gathers current and historical information about parking occupancy, including parking durations and durations of vacancies between occupancies. The model processes the gathered information into a statistical predictor of parking occupancy and vacancy. The system uses the predictor to predict when parking that meets the user's needs will become available. That prediction, including user-suitable parking locations along with the expected start of their vacancies, is then sent to the user in answer to his query.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Nikhil Dama, Laura Frisbie Evans, Christopher Ryan Haberland, Ting Lu, Simon Phillip Stolarczyk, Kristopher Thomas Williams

Patent number: 11924106Abstract: A system for facilitating sender-side granular congestion control is provided. During operation, the first and second processes of an application can run on sender and receiver nodes, respectively. A first buffer on the sender node can be allocated to the first process. For the first process, the system can then identify a second buffer at a last-hop switch of the receiver node. The system can determine, based on in-flight packets, the utilization of the second buffer. The system can also determine a fraction of available space in the second buffer for packets from the first buffer based on the utilization. Subsequently, the system can determine whether the fraction of the available space can accommodate the next packet from the first buffer. If the fraction of the available space can accommodate the next packet, the system can allow the first process to send the next packet to the second process.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Ryan Dean Menhusen, Darel Neal Emmot, Daniel William Dauwe
