  • Publication number: 20240155064
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a resource transmission request to initiate a workflow associated with resource transmission. In particular, the disclosed technology is directed to processing image data corresponding to a physical notice of a request for resource transmission to generate an electronic resource transmission request. The system captures image data of the notice and extracts data from the image data. As an example, the system matches the extracted data against predetermined forms and determines whether the notice is in a known format. In instances where there is no match (such that the notice has an unknown format), the system uses one or more of heatmaps, rules of locating field data, and/or a field data extraction model to assign respective field names with data values in the extracted data. The heatmap includes regions in the image data with a likelihood of data values corresponding to particular field names.

  • Patent number: 11919580
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example vehicle disclosed herein includes a steering assist system, a steering wheel, and a steering controller to detect a request to move the steering wheel of the vehicle to a first rotational position, the steering wheel having a second rotational position, actuate, via the steering assist system, the steering wheel towards the first rotational position, determine, based on a relationship between a first parameter and a second parameter, a third rotational position, the third rotational position having an angular offset from the first rotational position, the first parameter corresponding to a position of the steering system, the second parameter corresponding to a load on the steering system, and in response to reaching the third rotational position, disengage the steering assist system, the disengagement causing the steering wheel to rotate to the first rotational position.

  • Publication number: 20070176920
    Abstract: Through changes in lighting and audio solutions together with projections of images and/or animations that are initiated by the entrance of a person (professional or patient) in a medical environment, such as a radiology department, cardiology department, intensive care unit, etc., a certain ambience/atmosphere is created in this specific architectural context. This ambience can be a choice from certain predefined themes (e.g. animal drawings for children or nature images) or truly personal when personal content (e.g. images of family or vacation) is inserted in the system.

  • Publication number: 20070164741
    Abstract: The invention relates to storage space (3) for elements (2) which are used in a medical activity, comprising a plurality of partitions (4) which are each dedicated to receiving a certain type of element (2) assigned to a predetermined medical activity, a user interface (6) for selecting a preferred medical activity from a plurality of medical activities, wherein each partition (4) comprises signalling means (5) which provide a signal, dependent on the selected medical activity, to indicate the correct element (2) to be used for the selected activity. In this manner the medical staff is offered ‘intelligent’ management of medical accessories and space, which helps the staff in organizing elements in an efficient and timesaving manner. In addition, a more flexible working environment contributes to the clinical staff feeling freer at work.
