  • Patent number: 11931282
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bracewear for spinal correction and a system for posture training. The system for posture training involves both active and passive corrective forces by using the bracewear and a biofeedback system to address the spinal correction, which can eliminate the adversity of conventional hard braces and reduce the psychological and physiological barriers to treatment.

  • Patent number: 11931187
    Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

  • Publication number: 20240080920
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods which increase the throughput of a TCP-based communication between a first network node and a second network node. First, the first network node sent a first plurality of TCP segments to the second network node. Second, when the second network node receives a second plurality of TCP segments, which is all or part of the first plurality of the TCP segments, the second network node responds by sending one or more TCP acknowledgements to the first network node with the last sequence number of a last segment among all TCP segment within the second plurality of TCP segments. The present disclosure are able to increase the throughput of a TCP connection while decreasing its reliability.

  • Publication number: 20190280615
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a modulation method and apparatus based on a three-phase neutral point clamped inverter. The method includes outputting a control signal for controlling all the switch elements of one of the three bridge arms to be in a non-conducting state, controlling states of the switch elements of the other two bridge arms to make the three-phase neutral point clamped inverter output a single-phase signal, wherein the two bridge arms are referred to as a first single-phase bridge arm and a second single-phase bridge arm, when controlling both switch elements connected to the first input end and switch elements connected to the second input end in the first single-phase bridge arm and the second single-phase bridge arm to be in the non-conducting state, controlling two of the other switch elements in the first single-phase bridge arm and the second single-phase bridge arm to be in a conducting state to provide a freewheeling loop for an inductive current of the inverter.

  • Patent number: 10013475
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer program product for rebalancing partitioned data based, at least in part, on limit key extrapolation in a database and one or more characteristics of the plurality of database partitions. Responsive to a determination that an upper limit key value of the last loaded record is greater than an upper limit key value of an empty partition, the computer redefines the upper limit key value of the empty partition using an extrapolated upper limit key value that is based, at least in part, on a range of limit key values. The computer updates one or more characteristics of the database, wherein the one or more characteristics include one or both of a) an average number of records per partition, and b) an average number of unique limit key values per partition.

  • Patent number: 7945662
    Abstract: A computerized system and method for optimizing contents of a domain landing page for increased revenues for the domain name owner. A landing server tracks user interactions with the domain landing page and generates an optimized keyword data set for the domain name. The keyword data set is used for selecting the information to be displayed on the domain name page. According to one embodiment, the keywords are associated with advertiser payment values. When a link to an advertiser bidding on a particular keyword is selected, revenue generated due to the click is shared with the domain name owner. Selection of links on pop-under pages displayed with a landing page are also shared with the domain name owner. Semantic analysis of keywords and domain names allows the generation of a related keyword data set when there is insufficient number of relevant user interactions for generating the optimized keyword data set.
