  • Patent number: 11574701
    Abstract: A computer-executable application receives genetic test results for a genetic test a patient has undergone, an identifier for the genetic test, and an identifier for the genetic laboratory that performed the genetic test. The application identifies a format type of the genetic test results. When the format type is unstructured, the application performs an optical character recognition process to the genetic test results such that the format type of the genetic test results is semi-structured. When the format type is semi-structured, the application identifies a set of lexing and parsing rules assigned to the genetic test. The application generates processed genetic test results by applying the set of lexing and parsing rules to the genetic test results and stores the processed genetic test results in a data store. When the format type is structured, the application stores the genetic test results as the processed genetic test results in the data store.

  • Publication number: 20230031886
    Abstract: Coded information indicates that an adaptive up-sampling filter is applied to a current block in a current picture. A respective class for each of a plurality of subblocks of the current block is determined. A respective filter coefficient set is determined for each of the plurality of subblocks from a plurality of filter coefficient sets of the adaptive up-sampling filter. The respective filter coefficient set is determined based on at least one class corresponding to the respective subblock and a respective sampling rate of reference pixel resampling (RPR) applied on a reference picture of the current picture. The respective sampling rate is associated with one of a plurality of phases of the RPR. The adaptive up-sampling filter is applied to the current block to generate filtered reconstructed samples of the current block based on the determined respective filter coefficient sets without applying a secondary adaptive loop filter (ALF).
