  • Publication number: 20240135267
    Abstract: A privacy enabled system for managing clinical study participant travel has a database (stores data: clinical study, participant, clinical site and trip data sets) and a graphical user interface that has a Travel Planning Interface and is in data communication with an input device and the database. The data sets include a Study Travel Policy, a Study Visit Schedule (appointment procedure, appointment schedule), a traveler profile, traveler personal data (traveler contact information), a site appointment location associated with the appointment procedure, and site contact information. The travel planning interface receives the trip data set (trip segment data) from the database and the input device. The travel planning interface transmits the trip segment data to and receives booked travel data from a travel booking module, generates an itinerary that has booked travel and trip segment data, and transmits the itinerary according to the traveler contact information and the site contact information.

  • Patent number: 11966702
    Abstract: This is a system for sentiment analysis and misinformation detection for text transcriptions of conversations and statement. More particularly, this is a software system that uses neural network, machine learning (ML) models, which have been trained solely on text sourced from the internet, for the classification of the sentiment and risk of misinformation conveyed through a piece of text as it relates to a specified subject matter. Such a system typically is used on digital communication platforms, such as social media sites, to enable the determination of public opinion and perception in order to provide competitive intelligence for decision-making.

  • Publication number: 20240112544
    Abstract: An electronic gaming device that includes a display device, an input device, a memory device, and a processor is described. The processor causes to be displayed a dual symbol configured as a wild symbol and as a credit on reel (or cash-on-reel) symbol that indicates a prize to be awarded if a trigger symbol also lands in the same row as the dual symbol. The processor causes a base game to be initiated that includes causing symbols to be displayed on reels within a display matrix on a display device wherein each reel is configured to spin. During game play of the base game, the dual symbol, if displayed, persists between different reel spins and moves up one row each reel spin from a previous symbol position to a new symbol position.
