  • Publication number: 20240119959
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a system and method for obtaining a diagnosis of a mental health condition. An exemplary system can receive an audio input; convert the audio input into a text string; identify a speaker associated with the text string; based on at least a portion of the audio input, determine a predefined audio characteristic of a plurality of predefined audio characteristics; based on the determined audio characteristic, identify an emotion corresponding to the portion of the audio input; generate a set of structured data based on the text string, the speaker, the predefined audio characteristic, and the identified emotion; and provide an output for obtaining the diagnosis of the mental disorder or condition, wherein the output is indicative of at least a portion of the set of structured data.

  • Patent number: 9582524
    Abstract: Techniques are described for migrating data from a first table to a second table while transforming at least one characteristic of the data. Characteristics transformed may include one or more of an encryption key or method, a table schema, a data structure, or a storage infrastructure. Migration may be performed in two or more phases. A first phase may migrate and transform a majority of the data, such as data that is older than a certain threshold age. A second phase may migrate and transform the remaining, newer data. A status table may indicate which tables are active and are to be written to and read from during data writing and data consuming processes. Moreover, embodiments support data replication across multiple regions.

  • Patent number: 6564555
    Abstract: The present invention contemplates an apparatus for forming a combustion mixture in a gas turbine engine. In one form, the apparatus includes a diffuser having at least two flowpath structures spaced apart to define a flowpath for directing fluid flow. At least one of the flowpath structures includes a flowpath surface and a plurality of edges disposed along a trailing end portion of the flowpath surface. The edges extend perpendicularly from the flowpath surface and are arranged generally parallel to the fluid flow to define a plurality of corners. A fluid vortex is generated as the fluid flow rolls over each of the corners. A spray ring is disposed along a trailing edge of one of the flowpath structures and is integrally attached to the diffuser. The spray ring includes a plurality of fuel delivery apertures adapted to spray fuel into respective ones of the fluid vortices to form the combustion mixture.

  • Patent number: 4009568
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a turbine shroud and back seal plate to define a gas flow passage across turbine rotor blades. A conically shaped turbine support plate for the shroud and back seal plate has a central hub fixedly secured to a bearing mount on the inboard face of a scroll of a compressor for supplying air to a turbine combustor. The conical turbine support plate permits a first predetermined thermal excursion of the shroud and back seal plate to minimize gas leakage between the turbine blades and the turbine shroud components. A plurality of restrictor units are fixedly secured on the scroll and extend axially therefrom to locate a cap portion thereon in close spaced relationship to the turbine support plate to limit expansion of the turbine shroud components with respect to the rotor blades to prevent interference therebetween under elevated temperature conditions.
