Patent number: 11684334Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for generating a guided workflow and assisting in clinical decision making during operation of an imaging system at a site. Via a protocol manager interface, displaying a default protocol generated for the imaging system by a manufacturer, an authorized user may customize the protocol for the site. A workflow, in accordance with the modified protocol, is then displayed to another non-authenticated user at a time of operating the imaging system for an active scan.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: GE Precision Healthcare LLCInventors: Chelsey Lewis, Bradley Gabrielse, Vignesha Ramegowda, Sharon Ghelman, Michael Sarju Vaz, Ryan Christopher Forbes, Maud Bonnard, Benjamin Thomas Hauser, Elisa Pertuset

Patent number: 11475883Abstract: Techniques for generating a personalization value that measures how tailored certain system interactions are for a user are described. A dialog exchange between a user and a skill may be determined, with the dialog exchange including user input data and system output data. It may be determined that the system output data was generated without respect to at least one previous user input or system output of the dialog exchanges. Based on this, a personalization value may be generated and sent to the skill.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chikkanayakanahalli Mallikarjuniah, Priya Rao Chagaleti, Shiladitya Roy, Christopher Forbes Will, Cole Ira Brendel, Wei Huang, Sarthak Anand

Patent number: 11238241Abstract: The present disclosure provides various metrics that may be used to generate a score representing a conversational quality of a user/computing system dialog. User input data, corresponding to a dialog with a natural language processing system, may be determined and associated with a dialog identifier. System output data, corresponding to the dialog, may also be determined and associated with the dialog identifier. After the system output data is output to a user, the user input data and system output data may be processed to determine a score corresponding to the dialog exchange.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chikkanayakanahalli Mallikarjuniah, Priya Rao Chagaleti, Shiladitya Roy, Christopher Forbes Will, Cole Ira Brendel, Wei Huang, Sarthak Anand

Patent number: 11232784Abstract: Techniques for generating a conformance score for a system/user dialog are described. A conformance score may represent a degree to which output data, provided by a skill, conforms to various policies (e.g., the data includes content appropriate for the age of the user, the data does not include profanity, etc.). User input data and system output data, corresponding to a dialog exchange between a user and a skill, ma be determined. A user type associated with the dialog exchange may also be determined. Based on the user type and the system output data, it may be determined that one or more filtering resources are to be assigned to process future data, received from the skill, prior to the future data being presented to a user.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chikkanayakanahalli Mallikarjuniah, Priya Rao Chagaleti, Shiladitya Roy, Christopher Forbes Will, Cole Ira Brendel, Wei Huang, Sarthak Anand

Patent number: 11074907Abstract: Techniques for generating a prompt coverage score, which measures an extent to which data output to a user during a dialog is repetitive and monotonous, are described. User input data and system output, corresponding to a dialog exchange between a user and a skill, may be determined. A portion of the system output data, corresponding to a system prompt representing default output data, may be determined. A first number, representing possible variants of the prompt, may be determined along with a second number, representing variants of the prompt output during the dialog exchange. A prompt coverage score may be determined based on the first and second numbers.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ravi Chikkanayakanahalli Mallikarjuniah, Priya Rao Chagaleti, Shiladitya Roy, Christopher Forbes Will, Cole Ira Brendel, Wei Huang, Sarthak Anand

Publication number: 20140379363Abstract: Patient risk assessment if provided. Admissions scenarios that may negatively affect a health care provider's quality metric may be identified, and a patient risk score may be calculated and used to determine a likelihood of readmission of a patient. One or a combination of weighted factors may be utilized in determining quality metric contribution and for calculating the patient risk score. According to the calculated risk score, a case management recommendation may be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Applicant: PASSPORT HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Christopher Forbes Hart, Lance Clifford Mansfield

Publication number: 20050046076Abstract: A method of fabricating model cobblestone streets for decorating a diorama. The model is made from liquid latex and gauze. Using a female mold of a cobblestone street, liquid latex is applied to cover the female mold. A layer of gauze is applied on top of the wet latex. Next, a second layer of liquid latex is applied on top of the gauze ensuring saturation of the gauze and the first layer of latex. The wet latex dries to form a single layer of latex with the gauze embedded in it. The dried single layer is peeled from the female mold. The resulting male mold when laid flat on a surface will represent a cobblestone street: the individual stones within the street having height, width and depth. The male mold may be cut to desired size, and painted. In an alternate use, the finished male mold may be used to represent flooring, or may be used to represent stonewalls if attached to a vertical freestanding piece of material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2003Publication date: March 3, 2005Inventor: Christopher Forbes
