Abstract: An ergonomically designed smart wristband for clinical-grade multiparameter monitoring is disclosed. The smart wristband incorporates multiple sensors including custom-designed reflective arterial pulse sensors, a thermopile sensor, and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes. When the smart wristband is worn on the wrist, the biosensors contact the skin. The smart wristband may tether wirelessly to a mobile or any other computing device to continuously acquire and stream information like arterial pulse waveform and temperature data. Algorithms running on the computing device or onboard microprocessor analyze the acquired data to report parameters like blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, and blood oxygen. The device can also operate in a fully-standalone mode to accomplish continuous multiparameter physiological monitoring, analysis, and reporting.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: identifying statements in a software program. Values that satisfy path constraints of a given one of the statements are developed for ones of the identified statements that semantics information is not yet known. Outputs are produced by executing the given one of the statements using the generated values as inputs. Moreover, semantics information corresponding to the given one of the statements is determined by evaluating the generated values and corresponding outputs using a machine learning model. The semantics information is further used to generate a symbolic representation of the given one of the statements.

Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products maximizing answer coherence of virtual agents responding to multi-part user queries, using relationships among extracted chunks corresponding to support document(s). Relationships are extracted by mining entities from text and images of support document(s) and mapping entities to an otology. Induced subgraphs for chunks, based on extracted entities are created and compared. Depending on amounts of overlap and/or relationships between subgraphs, relationships among chunks are identified. Chunks relationships can be complementary, contained within one another, instances of one another, or not related at all. For a given multi-part query, a query answer graph is created comprising answer nodes corresponding to potential answer candidates associated with each chunk.

An outer layer in the multilayered upper, away from the foot when the boot is worn, and an inner layer, faces towards the boot. An adsorption layer based on adsorbent material, especially activated carbon spheres, which absorbs toxic chemical agents, especially chemical warfare agents is arranged between the outer layer and the inner layer of the upper. An outsole in the multilayered sole, away from the foot, and an insock, faces towards the foot. An insole based on multilayered aramid cloth, which resists the puncture through the sole when stepping over sharp objects, to prevent infiltration of toxic chemical agents, especially chemical warfare agents, is arranged between the insock and outsole.
