Abstract: The disclosure provides systems, methods and machine readable programs for isolation of data. In some implementations, this is performed on a healthcare information system (HCIS). It will be noted, however, that the disclosed embodiments can be used for different fields of endeavor, and for data other than medical patient data. After capturing data elements, such as patient records, the system automatically reviews and can extract the data elements in an isolated location, generates and stores reports, encrypts the reports, and sends them to multiple designated workstations and devices throughout a network at regular intervals to ensure that the most recent patient data is captured. After a compromising event, such as a system outage or a cyberattack, the updated patent data can be accessed locally by way of a locally installed client program.

In one aspect, the apparatus includes a system to connect a first trailer towed behind a towing vehicle to a second trailer. The apparatus further includes a kinetic energy recovery device for translating the mechanical motions or actions of the dolly into electricity or electrical energy so that this energy can be used to charge a battery or to power other functionality for either the dolly or the tractor-trailer. The active dolly may also operate to assist in shunting the tractor-trailer. The active dolly is operable in a number of modes to increase vehicle performance and efficiency.

Abstract: Blood sample optimization systems and methods are described that reduce or eliminate contaminates in collected blood samples, which in turn reduces or eliminates false positive readings in blood cultures or other testing of collected blood samples. A blood sample optimization system can include a blood sequestration device located between a patient needle and a sample needle. The blood sequestration device can include a sequestration chamber for sequestering an initial, potentially contaminated aliquot of blood, and may further include a sampling channel that bypasses the sequestration chamber to convey likely uncontaminated blood between the patient needle and the sample needle after the initial aliquot of blood is sequestered in the sequestration chamber.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, multi-modal-based generation of settlement instructions may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a portfolio of a live environment may be emulated in a projected environment. A target portfolio may be generated in the projected environment based on the emulated portfolio. Partial synchronization between the target portfolio of the projected environment and the portfolio of the live environment may be performed such that a first subset of changes to the portfolio of the live environment are reflected in the target portfolio of the projected environment. Subsequent to the partial synchronization, the target portfolio of the projected environment may be updated such that the update of the target portfolio accounts for the first subset of changes. Subsequent to the update of the target portfolio, settlement instructions may be generated based on differences between the target portfolio of the projected environment and the portfolio of the live environment.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for conserving power on an electronic device. For instance, at given time intervals, the electronic device may be sending input data to a network device and receiving audio data from the network device. The electronic device may then use one or more techniques to determine when to switch from operating in a first mode, where the electronic device sends and/or receives the data, to operating in a second mode, where the electronic device ceases sending and/or receiving the data. For example, the electronic device may make the determination based on an amount of data stored in a buffer, whether the electronic device receives data, using data received from the network device, and/or the like. Based on the determination, the electronic device may switch to the second mode in order to conserve power.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a compiler for optimizing the implementation of a machine-trained network (e.g., a neural network) on an integrated circuit (IC). The compiler of some embodiments receives a specification of a machine-trained network including multiple layers of computation nodes and generates a graph representing options for implementing the machine-trained network in the IC. In some embodiments, the compiler also generates instructions for gating operations. Gating operations, in some embodiments, include gating at multiple levels (e.g., gating of clusters, cores, or memory units). Gating operations conserve power in some embodiments by gating signals so that they do not reach the gated element or so that they are not propagated within the gated element. In some embodiments, a clock signal is gated such that a register that transmits data on a rising (or falling) edge of a clock signal is not triggered.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a knee arthroplasty surgical procedure includes receiving pre-operative data comprising (i) anatomical measurements of the patient, (ii) soft tissue measurements of the patient's anatomy, and (iii) implant parameters identifying an implant to be used in the knee arthroplasty surgical procedure. An equation set is selected from a plurality of pre-generated equation sets based on the pre-operative data. During the knee arthroplasty surgical procedure, patient-specific kinetic and kinematic response values are generated and displayed using an optimization process. The optimization process includes collecting intraoperative data from one or more surgical tools of a computer-assisted surgical system, and using the intraoperative data and the pre-operative data to solve the equation set, thereby yielding the patient-specific kinetic and kinematic response values. A visualization is then provided of the patient-specific kinetic and kinematic response values on the displays.
