Abstract: In a system in which a recipe is stored on a recipe framework, a method includes a recipe program presenting recipe information to a user using a device interface on a first device and/or an appliance interface of a first appliance; tracking user interactions with the recipe program via the device or appliance interface; monitoring progress and state of the recipe; and maintaining in the recipe framework, a version of the progress and state of the recipe. Responsive to the user switching to a second device or appliance while the recipe is in progress, presenting recipe information on the second device or appliance based on the version of the progress and state of the recipe maintained in the recipe framework, where the second device or appliance obtains the version of the progress and state from the recipe framework. The recipe was generated by one or more machine-learning algorithms.

Abstract: A console assembly includes a box member, a lid member, a bracket, a first joint part, and a second joint part. The box member defines an opening. The lid member covers the opening of the box member. The bracket is disposed between the box member and the lid member. The first joint part pivotably couples the bracket and the box member about a first rotational axis extending along a first direction to switch the lid member between a closed position and a first open position in which the bracket is attached to the lid member. The second joint part pivotably couples the lid member and the bracket about a second rotational axis extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to switch the lid member between the closed position and a second open position in which the bracket is attached to the box member.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient with diabetes is provided. The method includes determining a number of powdered insulin units required for each different meal in a day, rounding the number of powdered insulin units up to a nearest predetermined powdered insulin dose for each of the different meals, determining a number and capacity of powdered insulin cartridges to achieve the nearest predetermined powdered insulin doses for each of the different meals, multiplying the number of powdered insulin cartridges of each capacity for each different meal by a number of the different meals in a prescription period, determining a number of boxes of powdered insulin cartridges of each capacity for the prescription period, and prescribing the determined number of boxes of powdered insulin cartridges of each capacity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, using a weighing mechanism operatively connected to a weighing application. The method includes drawing a progress arc on a user interface of the weighing application, where the drawing is based on a non-linear function of the target weight (Wt) for the particular ingredient, a total angle to be drawn when the target weight (Wt) has been met, and the current weight (w) of the particular ingredient.

Abstract: A heavy-lift UAV frame includes a central frame portion and a pocket area for receiving an avionics package. Top and bottom plates are secured to the central frame portion and include four corner members that extend diagonally outward therefrom. A plurality of boom hinges are interposed between each of the corner members pivot a boom arm between an extended position for flight and a retracted position for storage and transport. Each boom arm and hinge combination includes a complementary dimension to one side of the central frame portion to position a boom arm parallel thereto when in the retracted position. A plurality of landing gear hinges are positioned along the bottom of the frame and transition a plurality of landing gear legs between a ready for flight position and a storage position. In the storage position each of the legs are positioned diagonally beneath the central frame portion.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generating a predefined sized vector representative of a healthcare claim including a variable number of service lines. A neural network is trained to identify hierarchical relationships between claim lines and services lines and to represent the relationships in the predefined sized vector. The predefined sized vector may be used to make predictions regarding adjudication, such as probability of denial (claim-level or service-level), days to pay, probability of being paid as a diagnosis related group (DRG), allowed amount, and/or denial reason. Predictions may also be made from the predefined sized vector relating to the likelihood and/or identification of missing procedure codes.
