  • Publication number: 20240257284
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for enrollment analysis including receiving historical data related to an entity and a first set of applicants. A model is generated based on the historical data. The model includes a set of factors. First data between the entity and a second plurality of potential applicants is received. A first factor score for each factor for each of the second plurality of potential applicants is generated based on the model. Second data between the entity and the applicants is received. The second data reflects interactions that occur after the first data. A second factor score for each factor is generated for each potential applicant based on the model. A priority range for each factor is received. A subset of the second plurality of potential applicants is identified based a second factor score that is within the priority range.

  • Patent number: 12045246
    Abstract: A data query and retrieval system receives a query request and identifies a plurality of data warehouses, or stores, where data needed to satisfy the query is stored. Data items, or fields, called for by the query request are grouped into sets based on fields stored at the same data warehouse. Individual data connections are generated for each data warehouse accessed, and a database view defined for the fields available at each respective data warehouse. The individual views are invoked in a single query statement by a query processor for accessing the respective data warehouses via the corresponding database view. In this manner, a query operator or user need not define multiple query expressions or perform separate queries for accessing data fields or dimensions residing at different data warehouses.

  • Publication number: 20230401196
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for decentralized two-phase commit in a datastore or database where the methods include determining pre-validating a transaction, writing first metadata to a leader partition, the first metadata including a state indicating preparing and mutations of the transaction, and writing second metadata of a follower partition to indicate the follower partition is locked by the leader partition. The methods further include updating the state of the first metadata to indicate committed and performing the transaction on the leader partition, performing the transaction on the follower partition and unlocking the follower partition, and updating the first metadata to remove the mutations of the transaction and updating the state of the first metadata to indicate the transaction is completed. The methods may further include selecting a leader partition key and updating the state of the first metadata to indicate committed unapplied.

  • Patent number: 11561783
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing data. The systems and methods include operations for: storing a synchronization entry for a messaging application feature, the synchronization entry comprising a last update timestamp associated with a first update to content of the messaging application feature received from a first source; receiving a second update to the content of the messaging application feature from the first source; determining that the second update was received within a write window of the last update timestamp; in response to determining that the second update was received within the write window of the last update timestamp, preventing updating the last update timestamp; and sending the first update and the second update to a client device in response to receiving a synchronization request from the client device based on the last update timestamp.

  • Patent number: 8619257
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for detection of bacterial HAI. Disclosed methods may be utilized for continuous in vivo monitoring of a potential bacterial infection site and may be utilized to alert patients and/or health care providers to the presence of pathogenic bacteria at an early stage of infection. Disclosed methods include utilization of recombinant bacteriophage to deliver to pathogenic bacteria a translatable genetic sequence encoding an optically detectable marker or an enzyme capable of producing an optically detectable marker. Upon detection of the optical signal produced by the marker, medical personnel may be alerted to the presence of pathogenic bacteria at the site of inquiry. Any bacterial causative agent of HAI may be detected according to disclosed methods.

  • Patent number: 8280471
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and devices for continuous in vivo monitoring of a potential bacterial infection site. Disclosed devices may be utilized to alert patients and/or health care providers to the presence of pathogenic bacteria at an early stage of a hospital acquired infection, thereby providing for earlier intervention. Disclosed methods utilize optical fibers to deliver an excitation signal to an area in which pathogenic bacteria may exist. In the presence of the excitation signal, bacterial pathogens may autofluoresce with a unique spectral signature. Upon generation of a fluorescent emission, an optically detectable emission signal may be transmitted to a detection/analysis device. Analysis of the characteristics of the emission signal produced in response to the excitation signal may be used to determine the presence or concentration of pathogens at the site of inquiry, following which real time information may be transmitted to medical personnel via a wireless transmission system.
