  • Patent number: 9529649
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a system having interfaces, storage devices, memory, and processing circuitry. The system may be coupled with one or more storage devices and may receive episode information for a patient from a storage device via one or more wired or wireless links, the episode information includes a plurality of episodes associated with the patient, each of the plurality of episodes is a specific instance of a medical condition. The system may generate a candidate episode pairs list comprising a plurality of candidate episode pairs. Embodiments may also include the system generating a transition list comprising episode pairs from the plurality of candidate episode pairs in the candidate episode pairs list and determining attribute relationships between the plurality of episodes for the patient based on episode pairs in the transition list, the attribute relationships used to attribute items between the plurality of episodes.

  • Patent number: 7638682
    Abstract: A soybean cultivar designated HFPR-5 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar HFPR-5, to the plants of soybean HFPR-5, to plant parts of soybean cultivar HFPR-5 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean cultivar HFPR-5 with itself or with another soybean variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to soybean cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from soybean variety HFPR-5, to methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from soybean cultivar HFPR-5 and to the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing the cultivar HFPR-5 with another soybean cultivar.
