  • Publication number: 20240163238
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generates editable email components by utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model with hard and soft constraints. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate editable email components from email fragments of an email file utilizing an Answer Set Programming (ASP) model. In particular, the disclosed systems extract facts for the ASP model from the email file. In addition, the disclosed systems determine rows or columns defining cells of the email file utilizing ASP hard constraints defined by a first set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts. Moreover, the disclosed systems determine editable email component classes for the email fragments utilizing ASP soft constraints defined by ASP classification weights and a second set of ASP atoms corresponding to the facts.

  • Publication number: 20240130822
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing surgical sponges. A dispenser assembly coupled to a main support includes an internal or first storage location to removably receive a carton of sponge sorters, and an external or second storage location to removably support a carton of surgical draping. At least one arm may be supported on the housing and movable between an undeployed position and a deployed position. The arm may include weighing means to measure a weight of the surgical sponge being disposed in a sponge sorter supported by the arm. The arm may be a cantilever and abeam load cell may be disposed within a channel of a beam. A processor may determine fluid weight based on measured weight and dry weight correlated with the surgical sponge being counted out as detected with a data reader. The processor may estimate blood loss to be displayed on a display.

  • Publication number: 20230349594
    Abstract: A lightweight and rigid stand for supporting a heliostat includes multiple legs that extend between a lower end and upper end. A bracket or knuckle couples to an upper end of the legs and can support a heliostat thereon so that the bracket or knuckle is disposed between the upper end of the legs and the heliostat. A dimensional spacing or angular orientation between the legs is maintained by the backet or knuckle and/or bridge portions that extend between linear portions of the legs. Lower ends of the legs can be embedded in a ballast mass.

  • Patent number: 10649884
    Abstract: A graphical user interface configured to facilitate replay debugging in distributed software programs is provided. In one or more examples, the graphical user interface provides a visual progress bar, wherein a position on the visual progress bar corresponds to a log file generated when the distributed software program is executed. The user can manipulate the graphical user to replay the log files and visualize the state of the playback through the visual progress bar. The graphical user interface can also allow the user to provide watch points and can allow the user to visualize variables that are contained within the log files. The watch points can represent one or more conditions. The log files can be analyzed to determine if they meet the condition specified in the watch point, and if the log files meet the condition, a visual indication can be provided on the visual progress bar.

  • Patent number: 9365892
    Abstract: A method for screening for a trinucleotide repeat sequence in a biological sample is provided. The method comprises the step of contacting a nucleic acid sequence obtained or derived from the biological sample under amplification conditions with i) a first primer having a target sequence in a region 3? or 5? of a trinucleotide repeat sequence; ii) a second primer having a target sequence within the trinucleotide repeat sequence and a unique 5? tail sequence; and iii) a third primer, having a target within the unique 5? tail sequence of the second primer to generate an amplified product comprising a trinucleotide repeat sequence. Primers, kits of primers together with the use of the primers in methods of screening are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9107395
    Abstract: A control device and method controls an animal's location. A GPS receiver and a processor determine the position, velocity and heading direction of the animal relative to a target. A stimulus unit selectively applies a stimulus to the animal. If the position of the animal relative to the target is less than a predetermined distance and the animal's velocity relative to the target is within a predetermined range and the heading direction of the animal is within a predetermined orientation relative to the target, then a non-aversive stimulus is applied to the animal, and removal of a non-aversive stimulus is selectively effected when the animal's velocity relative to the target is outside of the predetermined range, or the heading direction of the animal changes by more than a predetermined amount, otherwise the non-aversive stimulus is first removed followed by application of an aversive stimulus to the animal.

  • Patent number: 7719430
    Abstract: Virtual fencing of an animal includes a microprocessor for continuously determining the position of an animal relative to a target and whether the animal is moving relative to the target. A stimulus unit applies a sensory stimulus to the animal in response to signals received from the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmable such that if the distance between the animal and the target is less than a predetermined distance and if the animal is moving in a direction towards the target a stimulus is applied to the animal and the stimulus is withdrawn when the animal either stops, retreats from the target, or accelerates while the distance between the animal and the target is less than the predetermined distance.
