Patent number: 11145390Abstract: A method and apparatus for filtering clinical trials using machine learning techniques is disclosed. An example method generally includes receiving a first set of filters that were applied to a first plurality of clinical trials with respect to a first patient. A system determines one or more attributes of the first patient and trains a machine learning (ML) model based on the first set of filters and the one or more attributes of the first patient. The system receives a selection of a second patient, determines one or more attributes of the second patient, and generates a second set of filters by processing the one or more attributes of the second patient using the trained ML model.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Eric W Will, Adam Clark, Kimberly Diane Kenna

Patent number: 10719980Abstract: A method of analyzing a tube system in particular by image processing of images of the tube system is provided by the present invention. In order to achieve a simulation of a medium flow through a calculated tube model, the present invention gathers a tube model from a specific tube data set. By defining the necessary parameters of a virtual injection of the medium by the user, the medium flows through the model. Using this displayed simulation for generating at least two images leads to an artificial image sequence that might support a person, which wants to examine a real structure, that corresponds to the calculated model. This might be seen in.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Sabine Mollus, Joerg Bredno, Juergen Weese, Drazenko Babic
