  • Publication number: 20250114921
    Abstract: A pipe fitting tool is configured to loosen a first pipe element with respect to a second pipe element. The pipe fitting tool includes a motor, a holdback assembly configured to clamp and hold the second pipe element, the holdback assembly including a fixed jaw, a movable jaw, and a plurality of teeth sections, and a drive assembly. The drive assembly is configured to clamp and rotate the first pipe element with respect to the second pipe element in response to a first linear motion of the reciprocating member, and release the first pipe element in response to a second linear motion of the reciprocating member, the second linear motion being in a direction opposite the first linear motion. At least one of the plurality of teeth sections is pivotally coupled to the fixed jaw.

  • Publication number: 20250106300
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a contact stream is generated or modified based on configuration data received from a machine-learning model. Multiple contact items are selected for a contact stream, to be delivered to a user device via electronic communication channels. In addition, a success metric is identified indicating an engagement with the contact stream or an action performed following the engagement. A machine-learning model is applied to the contact items, where the machine-learning model is trained to identify relationships among actions in an online environment and configuration parameters that control delivery of contact streams. The machine-learning model provides an output indicating configuration data or a success probability for the contact stream. The configuration data includes configuration parameter values computed by the machine-learning model for achieving the identified success metric.

  • Publication number: 20250014040
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using machine learning systems to create models that define a first tier of initial event case users and user accounts, a second tier of users and user accounts that are interaction counterparties of first tier user accounts, and a third tier of users and user accounts that are interaction counterparties of second tier customer accounts. The processor may then identify first and second tier users and user accounts affiliated with an a fraudulent case history and may classify each first tier user according to risk based on interaction counterparty account links to various second tier users or links to various third tier users via interaction counterparty account links between second and third tier users.

  • Publication number: 20240169521
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing computed tomography (CT) scans using different detector materials within a single CT system. In one embodiment, a CT system comprises a hybrid detector assembly coupled to a rotatable portion of a gantry of the CT system, the hybrid detector assembly including a plurality of detector arrays, the detector arrays separated along a direction parallel to an axis of motion of a table of the CT system, each detector array of the plurality of detector arrays including a different detector material. The hybrid detector assembly may be mounted on a translation mechanism configured to allow a position of the hybrid detector assembly to change within the rotatable portion of the gantry between a first acquisition of projection data and a second acquisition of projection data, to center an x-ray tube on a detector array of the hybrid detector assembly having a desired detector material.

  • Publication number: 20230298740
    Abstract: High-accuracy locating systems and methods are used for determining successful caregiver rounding, monitoring whether housekeepers have properly cleaned patient beds, or determining whether patients have ambulated sufficient distances during recovery. Patient beds having at least two locating tags are used for establishing patient care zones around the patient beds. Locating anchors and equipment tags are moved around a patient room to determine optimum locating anchor placement within the patient room based on signal quality values. A locating tag on a patient bed switches roles to operate as a locating anchor in response to the patient bed becoming stationary. A locating tag has a digital compass which is used to determine a field of good ranging relative to a front of a caregiver wearing the locating tag.
