Publication number: 20230134620Abstract: A method for providing real-time analytics of time series data is disclosed. The method includes capturing a first set of time series data from a data flow based on a first predetermined time period; parsing the first set of time series data to identify a first key metric; capturing a second set of time series data from the data flow based on a second predetermined time period; parsing the second set of time series data to identify a second key metric, the second key metric corresponding to the first key metric; comparing, in real-time, the second key metric with the first key metric; and identifying, by using a model, an anomaly based on a result of the comparing and a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventors: Alan FITZGERALD, Uri KLEIN, Jake SAVOCA, Richard BONDI, Henry CONWAY, Una RYAN, Ayman HAMMAD, Nikita DUTTA, Keefe TAN, Adonis POLYCHRONOPOULOS

Publication number: 20220296849Abstract: A method of making a ready-to-use catheter assembly is provided, which can be immediately used by a patient. The ready-to-use catheter assembly ensures that the catheter does not suffer from a loss of quality during its shelf life and a wetting medium are provided. The method comprises: placing a catheter with an inactivated hydrophilic outer surface at least along its insertable length and a wetting medium in a catheter package; treating the catheter package with the catheter and the wetting medium with electro-magnetic and/or particle radiation while at least initially the hydrophilic outer surface at least along the insertable length of the catheter remains inactivated; and activating the hydrophilic outer surface at least along the insertable length of the catheter with the wetting medium during and/or after the radiation treatment and wherein the wetting medium decreases in viscosity when submitted to electro-magnetic and/or particle radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Katy RYAN, Ronald John KELLY, Morgan TIERNEY, David SCULLY, Alan FITZGERALD

Patent number: 10328237Abstract: A ready to use catheter assembly comprises a catheter package with an opening, a catheter with a shaft arranged in the catheter package so a distal end of the catheter lies in the region of the opening, and a protective sleeve which partly covers the catheter shaft, a first end of the protective sleeve fixed to the distal end of the catheter. A method for producing a ready to use catheter assembly and a ready to use catheter assembly which further reduces the risk of an accidental contamination of a catheter when pulling it out of the catheter package prior to the insertion into the urethra of a user are provided. The opening has a defined maximum opening length, a second end of the protective sleeve is releasably connected which the catheter package near the maximum opening length of the opening and the protective sleeve is in a retracted state.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Teleflex Life Sciences Unlimited CompanyInventors: Ronald John Kelly, Alan Fitzgerald, Morgan Tierney, Volkmar Schulz, Bernhard Hiesch
