  • Publication number: 20240119177
    Abstract: A system for automated text anonymisation of clinical text, the system including an AI pipeline module to configure symbolic AI pipeline components for detecting protected health information (PHI) in the clinical text; a masking module for masking the detected PHI in the clinical text and generating a de-identified clinical text output file as well as a corresponding label file with de-identified information. The pipeline components may include at least one non-symbolic AI pipeline component or machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11913255
    Abstract: A device for preventing unwanted opening of a locked enclosure includes a lock bolt moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. A face gear is meshable with and rotatable by the worm gear between locking and unlocking positions when the worm gear is driven in the first and second directions, respectively. A blocker member is rotatable between first and second positions. A biasing member is operatively coupled to the face gear and the blocker member to bias the blocker member in a biasing direction. A sliding member selectively disengages the blocker member to allow the blocker member to rotate in the biasing direction. A lever arm is operatively coupled to the sliding member such that the lever arm is in the disengaged and engageable positions when the sliding member engages the blocker member in the first and second positions, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9981895
    Abstract: Composition, methods of synthesizing trans-arachidin-3; and, methods of use as a dietary supplement, food additive, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and antioxidant. The methods of production entail organic syntheses using primary alkylamines or primary hydroxyalkyl amines, or carboxy amines (amino acids) with natural carboxylic acids (acetic acid) as catalysts to react isovaleraldehye with trans-resveratrol. The synthesis is carried out in organic solvent, which is composed of an azeotropic mixture comprising toluene with pyridine, n-butanol, n-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, or other alcohols that form an azeotrope with toluene. The final product is purified and analyzed for the amount of trans-arachidin-3, such as via HPLC, IR, column chromatography, and high-performance counter-current chromatography.

  • Patent number: 4197863
    Abstract: A filter for removing harmful ingredients from tobacco smoke without unduly increasing the draw having as an essential component a filter rod composed throughout of cotton fibers with substantially all of the fibers extending circumferentially of the axis of the rod. This component is combined with at least one other component positioned rearwardly of the smoke outlet and of the filter rod and this other component may be either at least one disc composed of intertangled wood cellulose or pure cotton fibers or a section of a conventional filter rod composed of cellulose acetate fibers. If at least one disc is present, it may be positioned by sandwiching it between two filter rod sections composed of cellulose acetate fibers or between one such section and the filter rod composed of cotton fibers. The entire filter assembly is closely confined within an impervious shell.
