  • Publication number: 20240282418
    Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining an electronic health records system, including a server storing a medical records database. Requests for medical data for a patient in a master problem list are received from a user device, and appropriate list permissions are determined and granted for hierarchical derivative problem lists. Annotated data is received at the server from a user device based on annotations made to a derivative problem list, and problem lists are updated with the received annotated data in real time. The received annotated data is compared with current entries using natural language processing to detect duplicate entries, the duplicate entries are iteratively detected and removed from the master problem list, and non-duplicate entries are stored in authorized derivative problem lists based on the natural language processing and list update permissions for each of the derivative problem lists.

  • Publication number: 20240220623
    Abstract: Trusted execution of a workload payload is brokered among multiple trusted execution platforms. The workload payload is received from a source computing system and includes input data, trusted execution code, and one or more trusted execution policies. At least one of the multiple trusted execution platforms is selected based on the one or more trusted execution policies. A brokered payload is generated to include executable trusted execution code and the input data. The brokered payload is communicated to the selected at least one trusted execution platform. A brokered result generated from the brokered payload by the selected at least one trusted execution platform is received. A workload result based on the brokered result is returned to the source computing platform.

  • Patent number: 12018104
    Abstract: A crosslinkable copolymer is provided. The crosslinkable copolymer has pendant cationic nitrogen-containing groups with some, but not all, of these pendant groups further including a (meth)acryloyl group. The (meth)acryloyl groups can react to form a crosslinked copolymer that is ionically conductive. The crosslinked copolymer can be used to provide an anion exchange membrane that can be used in electrochemical cells such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, and electrodialysis cells.

  • Publication number: 20240075533
    Abstract: A device for machining a surface of a workpiece includes a workpiece holder configured to rotate the workpiece about a workpiece rotational axis, a tool having a tool rotational axis and at least one blade having a blade radius of curvature and a tool holder configured to position the tool such that an active point of the blade comes into engagement with the workpiece and configured to pivot the tool about the tool rotational axis and to configured to move the tool with an advancing motion such that the active point of the blade shifts along the blade. The advancing motion is defined by a curve having at least a first radius of curvature and a second radius of curvature.

  • Publication number: 20230177275
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for analyzing a transcript of a structured interaction. The technique includes determining a first portion of the transcript that corresponds to a first dialogue act. The technique also includes matching the first portion of the transcript to a first component of a script for the structured interaction based on a first set of embeddings for the first portion of the transcript and a second set of embeddings associated with the first component of the script. The technique further includes causing a first mapping between the first portion of the transcript and the first component to be outputted.

  • Publication number: 20230120926
    Abstract: U-splines are a novel approach to the construction of a spline basis for representing smooth objects in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). A spline is a piecewise-defined function that satisfies continuity constraints between adjacent cells in a mesh. U-splines differ from existing spline constructions, such as Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS), subdivision surfaces, T-splines, and hierarchical B-splines, in that they can accommodate local variation in cell size, polynomial degree, and smoothness simultaneously over more varied mesh configurations. Mixed cell types (e.g., triangle and tetrahedron and quadrilateral and hexahedral cells in the same mesh) and T-junctions are also supported. The U-spline construction is presented for curves, surfaces, and volumes with higher dimensional generalizations possible. A set of requirements are given to ensure that the U-spline basis is positive, forms a partition of unity, is complete, and is locally linearly independent.
