Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for training and applying predictive models that employ natural language processing in analyzing records with summary and resolution fields. A semi-supervised machine learning text model may be used to generate a category score for each record in a first dataset. The model may be generated using a training dataset comprising past records and categorization labels for each of the past records. The model may perform textual analytics on summary and resolution fields received as inputs and provide category scores as output. Dispositions may be assigned to each record in the first dataset based on a comparison of the category score to a category threshold. A second dataset may be generated with the records of the first dataset and assigned dispositions. A report comprising records and, for each record, disposition and category score may be generated.

Abstract: A method for compensating the settings of a pulsed X-ray system. The method selects current, voltage, and intended pulse width settings for the X-ray pulses. The method then compensates the selected pulse width setting for the set voltage and tube current, in accordance with at least one stored normalized value at a predetermined temperature, taking into account the environmental temperature of the electric circuitry of an X-ray tank of the X-ray system. The at least one normalized value is obtained in a calibration step based on the actual pulse width and the difference thereof with the intended pulse width at a predetermined temperature, taking into account the internal temperature of the X-ray tank.

Abstract: A system for determining location of an interventional medical device within a patient includes a controller that controls an ultrasound probe to emit imaging beams at different times and angles relative to the ultrasound probe. The system also includes an interventional medical device with an attached sensor that receives the imaging beams together with repetitive noise. The controller further identifies the repetitive noise received at the sensor, including identifying the rate at which the repetitive noise is repeated and identifying the times at which the repetitive noise is received at the sensor. The controller further offsets the repetitive noise in signals received at the sensor by interpolating the signals based on the imaging beams. The controller determines the location of the interventional medical device based on the offset signals.

Abstract: A wet cleaning apparatus includes a cleaner head having a dirt inlet. A motor and fan deliver suction to the dirt inlet. Further, the wet cleaning apparatus includes a separator unit for separating water from a flow of air generated by the suction. The separated water is collected in a container having a top and a bottom, and a side portion extending there between. The separated air is passed out of the container towards the motor and fan via an air passage. The air passage is spatially separated from the bottom of the container. The water collected in the container sloshes against the side portion of the container when a user is pushing the cleaner head and the container forward. A water directing member sealingly adjoins the side portion, and protrudes into the container backwards from the side portion, thereby to inhibit the water sloshing against the side portion.
