Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and executing a decision network that includes a number of stations configured to operate with respect to an instance of a document, container or other object. A user interface may be presented to a user that includes selectable options for configuring and connecting stations within the decision network, and for establishing executable logic for each station to modify or create data within fields of a container instance. Different stations in the decision network may be assigned different permissions with respect to the container. Individual stations in the decision network may be configured to determine a prediction or probability based on data accessible to the given station, where the prediction or probability of one station may be based in part on an earlier prediction or probability determined at another station of the decision network.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for developing polygenic risk score (PRS) models. In some implementations, a fully automated process is provided that allows for a PRS model to be defined by an initial set of parameters. In some implementations the PRS models are trained to provide a PRS for particular populations.

Abstract: This method calculates snowpack parameters such as: snow water equivalent, snow liquid water content, snow depth and snow density, using Earth orbiting satellites from a GNSS constellation transmitting radio wave frequency carrier signals. An under-snow receiver system and an out-of-snow receiver system are employed are capable of decoding the encoded GNSS data into data products such as a carrier to noise ratios and carrier phases. A computer system receives data products. The Snowpack software programs derive a measured carrier to noise ration reduction from the carrier signals and the carrier to noise ratios. A physical model calculates a modeled excess phase and a modeled carrier noise ratio reduction, calculating measured snowpack parameters, such as: a snow water equivalent, a snow liquid water content, a snow depth, and a snow density, of the at least one snow layer. A non-linear mathematical solver adjusts the plurality of snow parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively attaching and detaching removable portions of an article of clothing to provide long and short options for the article of clothing. In particular, the present invention provides a magnetic connection between a circular opening of an article of clothing and a circular opening of a removable portion of the article of clothing.

Abstract: A patient handling apparatus includes an inflatable patient cradle (10?) for holding and supporting a patient in a sitting position when inflated and an air compressor (90) connectable to the cradle to inflate the cradle. The air compressor (90) has a control system for regulating the pressure of inflation of the cradle (10?) in use and is operative in a high pressure mode to bring the cradle to a first pre-defined inflation pressure for use in transferring a patient and operable in a reduced pressure mode to bring at least part of the cradle to a second pre-defined inflation pressure lower than the first pre-defined inflation pressure. In the lower pressure mode, the cradle (10?) is more comfortable to sit on for prolonged periods whilst still providing adequate support to hold a patient upright.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for providing content sharing recommendations are provided. For example, signals, associated with a user (e.g., a location of the user, an event occurring near the user, an activity being performed by the user, content of a message recently received by the user or being composed by the user, etc.), are evaluated to identify a context associated with the user (e.g., the user may be composing a social network post about a basketball game that the user is attending). The context is applied to content (e.g., photos, videos, documents, webpages, etc.), available to the user, to create contextualized content indicative of how appropriate or relevant such content is given the context (e.g., a basketball game photo may be more relevant than a work document). A content sharing recommendation of contextualized content may be provided to the user.

Abstract: A soft-walled inflatable cradle (10) has a seat section (14), a back-support section (16), and a pair of opposed side panel sections (18, 20) extending between respective sides of the back-support and the seat. The cradle is positioned about a patient in an un-inflated condition and inflated to define a self-supporting seat structure. The cradle may be formed in at least two separable parts which can be positioned about a patient and connected together prior to inflation. The cradle may be used in co-operation with apparatus which include rollers over which the inflated cradle is moved. Methods of handling a patient using the cradle are also disclosed.
