  • Publication number: 20230410692
    Abstract: A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

  • Publication number: 20230374563
    Abstract: A method for determining the susceptibility of bacteria in a clinical sample comprising urine or an inoculant derived therefrom to an antibiotic agent may include the steps of a) inoculating a test portion of the clinical sample in a medium containing a predetermined concentration of the antibiotic agent; b) inoculating a control portion of the clinical sample in a medium that does not contain the antibiotic agent; c) incubating the test portion for an incubation period; d) incubating the control portion for the incubation period; e) determining a quantity of RNA in the test portion and a quantity of RNA in the control portion at the conclusion of the incubation period that is less than 480 minutes after the completion of step a); and f) determining a susceptibility of the bacteria to the antibiotic agent by comparing the quantity of RNA in the test portion to the quantity of the RNA in the control portion.

  • Publication number: 20230282097
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhanced alert generation based on real-time manipulation of datasets. An example method includes accessing datasets including a plurality of rows each indicating a plurality of values. Occurrences of alert definitions are monitored via applying the alert definitions to the datasets, the alert definitions specifying expressions utilizing one or more of the values, with an occurrence of an alert definition indicating satisfaction of the specified expression and causing an associated alert to be generated for evaluation. Presentation of an interactive user interface associated with customizing alert definitions is caused. The interactive user interface presents a first visual portion, the first visual portion enabling specification of an expression for a customized alert definition.

  • Patent number: 11706090
    Abstract: A system for troubleshooting network problems is disclosed. A model can use demographic information, network usage information, and network membership information to determine an importance of a problem. The importance of the problem for the user who reported the problem, a number of other users affected by the problem, and the importance of the problem to the other users can be used to determine a priority for resolving the problem. Before and after a work order is executed to resolve the problem, network metrics can be gathered, including aggregate network metrics, and automatically presented in various user interfaces. The analysis of the metrics can be used to update a database of which work orders are assigned in response to which problems.

  • Patent number: 11700261
    Abstract: A method of managing authorizations to operate a software tool. The method comprises maintaining a count of available authorizations and an authorization allocation list that identifies what authorizations for executing the software tool are allocated to what computers by an authorization resource manager application executing on a computer system, for each of a plurality of computers, determining periodically by the authorization resource manager application if the computer is currently executing the software tool, for each computer determined to be executing the software tool, determining by the authorization resource manager application if an authorization for executing the software tool is allocated to the computer in the authorization allocation list, and, in response to determining that a computer is executing the software tool without being identified as being allocated an authorization in the authorization allocation list, invalidating an authorization identity being used by the computer.

  • Patent number: 11507769
    Abstract: A method and system to interpret sensor transmission patterns to analyze anomalies in a smart environment include obtaining a map of the smart environment, the map including an indication of obstructions and openings. The method includes determining an initial location of each sensor of a plurality of sensors in the smart environment. Each sensor emits a transmission after each detection. The method also includes identifying an initial transmission pattern associated with each sensor, and identifying a change in the initial transmission pattern of a sensor among the plurality of sensors. The change is interpreted to determine whether the change in the initial transmission pattern of the sensor among the plurality of sensors is due to movement or obstruction of the sensor. Action is taken based on a determination that the sensor among the plurality of sensors is obstructed or removed.
