  • Publication number: 20240193443
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes deploying a policy to edge devices in an edge computing environment. The method further includes analyzing, using an artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model, the policy to understand an intent of deploying the policy. The analyzing includes discounting a weight value assigned to data points that are determined to not apply to a current decision of a first of the edge devices. The method further includes causing the policy to be altered based on the analysis. A computer program product, according to another embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 10964426
    Abstract: Certain examples provide systems and methods to monitor and control hospital operational systems based on occupancy data and medical orders. An example healthcare workflow management and reasoning system includes a workflow engine including a first particularly programmed processor to monitor one or more medical orders from one or more hospital information systems to identify a condition indicating that a first patient in a first room is ready for a clinical activity such as discharge. The example healthcare workflow management and reasoning system includes a sensing component including a second processor to gather occupancy data regarding the first patient in the first room and transmit the occupancy data to the workflow engine. The example workflow engine controls one or more hospital operational systems to trigger cleaning of the first room, lighting settings for the first room, and transportation of a second patient to the first room based on occupancy data from the sensing component.

  • Publication number: 20200337628
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the reduction of pressure ulcers and falls with respect to patients with physical or cognitive impairments who are in bed. A control system assures that the bed and ancillary apparatus are physically set and that patient behaviors are responded to by care providers. Motion is monitored with a non-mutually exclusive portfolio of sensors, and this information is used by one or more reasoning engines. An integrated clinical workflow is informed by the patterns of movement and then the physical environment, patient interaction, and care provider workflow are controlled to reduce the incidence of falls and pressure ulcers in bed ridden patients.

  • Patent number: 10679754
    Abstract: An example method includes: classifying lung function risk based on patient attributes and a clinical protocol; generating alarms and incentives for compliance with the clinical protocol based on patient attributes, clinical protocol, and patient lung function risk; determining an orientation and position of a clinical device based on tagged feature(s) of the clinical device compared to identified patient feature(s); monitoring patient interaction with the clinical device; identifying a deviation from the clinical protocol based on the monitored patient interaction, a patient biometric indicator, and a desired setpoint state in the protocol; when a deviation is identified, providing feedback proportional to the deviation, the feedback including an adjustment with respect to the clinical protocol and/or the clinical device; and triggering at least one alarm and/or incentive based on deviation and feedback, wherein the alarm/incentives differs based on whether and to what extent deviation is identified and feed

  • Patent number: 10498327
    Abstract: An overvoltage detector for an RF switch is disclosed. The overvoltage detector is made up of circuitry having a detector output that couples to a controller, a body voltage input that couples to a charge pump, and a body voltage output that couples to a body terminal of the RF switch. The overvoltage detector is configured to detect an overvoltage across the RF switch by monitoring body leakage current flowing between the body voltage input and the body voltage output. Upon detecting body leakage current over a predetermined level, the overvoltage detector generates an overvoltage signal at the detector output to indicate an overvoltage across the RF switch.

  • Publication number: 20140108034
    Abstract: Current resource data may be continuously and automatically received indicative of a current state of resources that are used to deliver healthcare to a plurality of patients associated with a healthcare enterprise. The current resource data may be automatically used to update a healthcare enterprise simulation model. The healthcare enterprise simulation model may be executed to automatically generate a predicted future state of the resources. A resource request may then be received, and a resource assignment engine may automatically assign a particular resource to the resource request based at least in part on the predicted future state of the resources.

    Abstract: Snapshot data may be received indicative of a current state of resources that deliver healthcare to a plurality of patients associated with a healthcare enterprise. The received snapshot data may be automatically used to initialize a healthcare enterprise simulation model. The healthcare enterprise simulation model may then be executed to automatically generate a predicted future state of the resources at a predetermined point in time. Some embodiments may automatically suggest mitigation strategies based on simulated scenarios reflecting potential bottlenecks and appropriate actions that may be taken by the enterprise. The system may continuously and automatically monitor forecast accuracy to detect potential anomalies.

  • Publication number: 20070149673
    Abstract: Corrosion-inhibiting pigments based on manganese are described that contain a trivalent or tetravalent manganese/valence stabilizer complex. An inorganic or organic material is used to stabilize the trivalent or tetravalent manganese ion to form a compound that is sparingly soluble, exhibits low solubility, or is insoluble in water, depending upon the intended usage. Specific stabilizers are chosen to control the release rate of trivalent or tetravalent manganese during exposure to water and to tailor the compatibility of the powder when used as a pigment in a chosen binder system. Stabilizers may also modify the processing and handling characteristics of the formed powders. Manganese/valence stabilizer combinations are chosen based on the well-founded principles of manganese coordination chemistry. Many manganese-valence stabilizer combinations are presented that can equal the performance of conventional hexavalent chromium or tetravalent lead systems.

    Abstract: A computer system may include a client subsystem, another client subsystem, and a network coupled to the client subsystems. The network includes several network slices. One of the client subsystems is configured to convey a packet to the other client subsystem by conveying each of several slices of the packet on a respective one of the network slices. The client subsystem also conveys redundant information associated with the packet on at least one additional network slice. The redundant data is usable to regenerate at least one of the slices of the packet.
