  • Patent number: 11937932
    Abstract: An acute kidney injury predicting system and a method thereof are proposed. A processor reads the data to be tested, the detection data, the machine learning algorithm and the risk probability comparison table from a main memory. The processor trains the detection data according to the machine learning algorithm to generate an acute kidney injury prediction model, and inputs the data to be tested into the acute kidney injury prediction model to generate an acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability and a data sequence table. The data sequence table lists the data to be tested in sequence according to a proportion of each of the data to be tested in the acute kidney injury characteristics. The processor selects one of the medical treatment data from the risk probability comparison table according to the acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability.

  • Publication number: 20150149044
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and a method for controlling a rear vision assembly (RVA) of a vehicle, the system comprising a sender, receivers, an orientation device, a controller, and a motor. At least one said receiver disposed at the RVA may receive a reference signal from the sender to generate a relative positioning signal. The orientation device, disposed at the RVA, senses the orientation thereof in the three-dimensional space. Based on the relative positioning signal, the controller determines a relative position of the RVA and the sender and compares it with a default relative position, in addition to comparing the sensed orientation with a default orientation, thus generating a driving signal that directs the motor to restore the RVA to its default configuration when the determined relative position has deviated from the default for a predefined time and the sensed orientation deviates from the default.
