Abstract: A process for configuring an account for a desktop application uses a central data processing facility to configure a release for a trading partner, which release includes the preferred method of receiving documents and preferred format for the content; configures an intake download by storing settings for how to export and import documents; configures intake rules to determine how to route received documents; installs a Desktop from the web portal onto a local data processing system; and automatically synchronizing the Desktop to the portal. A process for ensuring the secure delivery of information about a patient sends a verification fax sheet to a fax number of a recipient instructing the recipient to go to a website; validates the recipient after the recipient has visited the website; tests the recipient at the website using questions specific to the patient; and sends the confidential information to the fax number if the recipient passes the test.

The retractor system includes a plurality of blade assemblies coupled to a handle assembly, wherein each of the blade assemblies may be independently adjusted (e.g. length blade and/or blade angulation and/or blade rotation relative to the handle assembly) to provide unprecedented customization of an operative corridor extending to the surgical target site of the patient such that any number of spinal surgery procedures may be undertaken by a surgeon, including but not limited to spinal fusion procedures at the L5-S1 disc space.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes obtaining data for raw image frames captured by a moving camera. The raw image frames are indexed geographically, and a graph is created from the multiple raw image frames. The graph includes image frames as vertices and edges that represent image frames having overlapping image information. The method further includes skipping frames based on the amount of overlap, determining a frame having an interesting feature, using the graph to find additional raw image frames that have the interesting feature, combining multiple raw image frames to form a unique image frame, and transmitting the unique image frame.

Abstract: An example method and system for income determination analysis is disclosed. A document packet of income related documents is converted to an image file. The image file is split into separate documents and the separated documents are classified. An automated scanning tool is selected for the separated documents. Income related data is determined from the separated documents. An interface may be generated based on the confidence of the determined income related data for operator input and validation of the income related data. Multiple models are applied for calculation of income. A virtual panel is provided that incorporates the results of the multiple models to determine if further analysis is required.

Abstract: A valve assembly for use with an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided and includes an inlet tube, a shuttle, a base plate, a screw assembly, and a spacer block. The shuttle is partially disposed within the inlet tube and is configured to be placed in a first position where the shuttle abuts the inlet tube and a second position where the outer surface is disposed in spaced relation to the inlet tube. The base plate extends between a first end portion that defines a cavity therein and a second end portion. The screw assembly is disposed within the cavity of the base plate and is coupled to a portion of the shuttle. The spacer block is interposed between the second end portion of the inlet tube and the first end portion of the base plate and is configured to maintain the inlet tube and the base plate in spaced relation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for executing queries on a bitmap index are disclosed. The system may receive a first data stream from a database and generate a bitmap index based on the first data stream. The system may receive an input selection of one or more data conditions from a user device and generate a Boolean expression based on the input selection. The system may query the bitmap index using the Boolean expression and generate a bitmap vector. The system may output a first data subset represented by the generated bitmap vector to a graphical user interface. The bitmap index may include probabilistic entries, and the system may validate the probabilistic entries by receiving a second data stream, identifying one or more entries correlated to the probabilistic entries, determining a divergence between the identified entries and the probabilistic entries, and updating parameters of a classifier model associated with the probabilistic entries.

Abstract: These teachings relate to a device that includes a base having an axis that is centered and perpendicular relative to the base and two or more arms each connected to the base at a base hinge The base hinge rotates the two or more arms away from the axis, and one or more expandable bands are connected with distal ends of the two or more arms. The one or more expandable bands absorb energy from rotating of the two or more arms. The device absorbs energy when an external force is applied along the axis of the base.

Abstract: A stapler including a moveable strike plate and accessibility features is described. A slidable strike plate is moveable from a first staple forming position to a second staple forming position to form different staple shapes. The slidable strike plate is moved relative to the anvil of the stapler with a single hand to change positions. A rotatable strike plate is turned with a single hand to move between staple forming positions by rotating an outer dial of the rotatable strike plate relative to the anvil of the stapler. The stapler includes an indicator window that shows if the stapler is empty or running low on staples and a quick release staple loading magazine that is operable using a single hand.

Abstract: Environment type validation can provide a tamper-resistant validation of the computing environment within which the environment type validation is being performed. Such information can then be utilized to perform policy management, which can include omitting verifications in order to facilitate the sharing of policy, such as application licenses, from a host computing environment into a container virtual computing environment. The environment type validation can perform multiple checks, including verification of the encryption infrastructure of the computing environment, verification of code integrity mechanisms of that computing environment, checks for the presence of functionality evidencing a hypervisor, checks for the presence or absence of predetermined system drivers, or other like operating system components or functionality, checks for the activation or deactivation of resource management stacks, and checks for the presence or absence of predetermined values in firmware.

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.

Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller executing an initial alignment process including searching for a trailer within a specified area of image data that is less than a total field of the image data in directions corresponding with both a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the trailer and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal distance, presenting an indication to a driver of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle when the trailer is not identified within the specified area, and removing the indication when the trailer is identified within the specified area. The controller further executes an automated backing process upon identifying the trailer within the specified area, including identifying a coupler of the trailer and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler of the trailer during reversing.
