Abstract: The present invention discloses a deep vein thrombosis (“DVT”) device that is portable, tubeless, and battery-operated, which ensures that the patient will have maximum mobility during recovery. The DVT device provides a pneumatically controlled bladder portion, which is actuated by an electronically controlled air pump, where the pump/bladder combination is enclosed in a “pocket” of a wrap or cuff during use. All pump, battery, and control components are protectively housed in a plastic case that is permanently attached to the bladder portion. Once the pump/bladder combination is placed in the “pocket” the wrap or cuff will be sealed. The wraps or cuffs are single use, disposable garments designed to provide an absorbent barrier during use, where the bladder portion and air pump remain clean during use and can be reused by the patient or hospital staff. Tabs or extensions may be used to secure the pump/bladder combination after insertion into the “pocket” of the wrap or cuff.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to integrate aging awareness into machine learning agents for management of control systems. To achieve this, the machine learning agent extracts a set of states and an aging model from the control system and derives an aging term from the aging model. Based on the states and the aging term, the machine learning agent determines a set of actions that are applied to the control system. Subsequently, the machine learning agent can extract a new set of states to analyze the efficacy of the set of actions. This is achieved through an optimality function that quantifies the success of the set of actions by calculating an optimality score. The calculation is based on both a current performance of the system and a future drift or degradation of system components. Through many iterations of the action set, the machine learning agent can optimize system operations.
