  • Patent number: 11993421
    Abstract: An information preservation and conveyance system for providing information and effects to intelligent creatures in the future. The system provides durable containers with components secured inside and durable structure components, such as building bricks for example, mountable to a durable building, pyramid, or other structure, with at least one structure component having external surface information readable by a human. Higher density durable information providing components may be secured inside a durable container by resilient devices to absorb impact forces. Durable optical magnifier pictographic instructions and an optical magnifier or projector may be secured by durable containers, which can have a container opener durably mounted to exposed sections on the durable containers. The durable containers can contain audio generation apparatus, which optionally may teach a language, and any of a wide variety of types of information and articles of possible interest and value to a discoverer in the future.

  • Publication number: 20230132247
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes providing a representation of a set of digital medical images to a first machine learning model to define a feature vector associated with a presence of an intracranial hemorrhage. A representation of the set of digital medical images is provided to a second machine learning model to define a second feature vector associated with a volume of the intracranial hemorrhage. Using a third machine learning model, a set of EMRs associated with risk factors for a predefined indication is analyzed to define a third feature vector. The first, second and third feature vectors are provided as inputs to a fourth machine learning model to determine a metric associated with an applicability of a specific treatment associated with a predefined indication. An alert is sent to relevant healthcare providers and relevant tests, procedures or bloodwork are ordered for the predefined indication.

  • Patent number: 5979844
    Abstract: A ballasted support base is disclosed which may be used to support a large variety of structures and objects. In the preferred embodiment, three equal arc-shaped tanks are fastened together to form a disc-shaped base. When empty, the tanks may be easily transported and they may be stacked to occupy minimum space. When the tanks are fastened together, a flange is used to support a center plate which in turn supports a pole. A plurality of diagonal supports are attached to the pole and the periphery of the base. Each tank comprises a cap for preventing liquid from evaporating and a recess is provided on each tank to allow the tanks to be stacked without interference from the cap. Each tank may also comprise stiffeners for withstanding compressive loads and an adjustment plate may be used to adjust the angular position of the pole.
