  • Patent number: 11496232
    Abstract: A system that synchronizes waveforms received over a network from one or more devices, such as medical devices. Because of network delays or losses, waveforms can arrive at varying rates and times. Precise post-synchronization of the received data, to within a few milliseconds, is needed for accurate analysis. Applications include automatic classification of waveforms, such as detection of myocardial infraction from heart monitor waveforms. Synchronization uses sequence numbers assigned by each device, but must also account for sequence number wraparounds. Waveforms may also be synchronized across devices, by calculating the bias between within-device synchronized times and a common time source or common disturbance. Waveform data may also be stored data in a database or data warehouse; embodiments may index the data using a key with a date-time prefix and a hash code suffix, to support distributed indexing while reducing the chance of hash collisions to a very small probability.

  • Patent number: 11477719
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UE) responsive to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) network. The UE transfers UE data that indicates user applications and their current status to a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger also receives past quality levels and locations from the wireless communication network. The distributed ledger stores the UE data, quality levels, and locations in a blockchain format that is readable by the AI network. The distributed ledger receives a future quality level and location and time for the UE from the AI network. The distributed ledger stores the future quality level and location and time for the UE in the blockchain format. The distributed ledger transfers the future quality level and location and time for the UE to an Exposure Function (EF). The EF signals a network control-plane to deliver the wireless data service to the UE at the future location and time and quality level.
