  • Publication number: 20210089965
    Abstract: A computer system for generating a quantitative value relating to a negative health outcome, the computer system comprising: a conversion module configured to receive multiple sets of data items associated with patients and each comprising a descriptor and the time at which that event impacted the patient. The conversion module generates a training data structure which comprises for each patient an array of selected features, each selected feature associated with a numerical value representing a score indicative of the relevance of that feature to the prediction of the negative health outcome, and a label indicating if the patient exhibits the negative health outcome; and a machine learning model which is trained using the training data structure so as to be operable to generate a quantitative value relating to a negative health outcome for a patient with at least some of the features.

  • Patent number: 6393344
    Abstract: Interference currents in railway trackside signaling apparatus are monitored by first and second transducers adapted to measure the traction current and frequency, respectively, of power electronics in traction systems of railway vehicles. An instantaneous interference current value is determined, based on data output from the first transducer. Data output from the second transducer is used to determine digital filter outputs for the trackside signaling frequencies for the interference current value. The determined interference current value and digital filter output values are recorded on a data storage medium and displayed on a display unit.
