  • Publication number: 20210097515
    Abstract: Systems and methods directed to facilitating client to business interactions and transactions are described in this application. Some embodiments include a platform server, a code-presenting apparatus, a point of sale system, an associate device, and a patron-controlled device. When, for example, a patron sits down in a restaurant, they will be able to scan a code from the code presenting device. Once the code is scanned, that patron's device will be able to place orders that the restaurant can fulfill, thereby eliminating a need for dedicated hardware that can quickly become a health hazard if not properly cleaned. In some embodiments, it is contemplated that the associate device can be omitted from the system, and it is further contemplated that, in embodiments with an associate device (e.g., a mobile device that a server can use to take orders), the associate device can double as the code-presenting apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20180268507
    Abstract: Methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media for automated workflow management for sleep quality are presented. A subject in a resting state is monitored using one or more sensors for acquiring one or more physiological parameters. A phase of sleep of the subject at a specific time using the physiological parameters is detected and inferred. Further, a recuperative benefit of the detected sleep phase is estimated. Additionally, it is determined is if an activity in a patient care workflow scheduled proximate to the specific time hinders sleep of the subject. The patient care workflow is then automatically reconfigured if scheduled activity hinders patient sleep, if the determined recuperative benefits exceed a designated threshold and/or if a proposed reconfiguration satisfies one or more designated criteria accounting for both restorative benefits to the patient and objectives of competing care delivery activities for both a given patient and a department.

  • Patent number: 8740793
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a subject in a resting state using one or more range-controlled radars are presented. The radars non-invasively detect one or more motion and/or physiological parameters corresponding to the subject. The motion parameters comprise one or more activity levels and the physiological parameters comprise one or more of heartbeat and respiration. Further, one or more patterns in the motion parameters detected over a designated motion period of time are determined. Additionally, one or more patterns in the physiological parameters detected over the designated physiological period of time are also determined. The systems then assess a health condition of the subject based on the determined patterns of the motion parameters and/or the determined patterns of the physiological parameters.

  • Patent number: 7401063
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer implemented method for maintaining a knowledge base. The method taking as input, text examples that are tagged with a structural markup language; and maps knowledge nodes in the knowledge base with the tagged examples to determine: (1) the knowledge nodes that best match the tagged examples, and (2) the knowledge nodes that are best connected to the tagged examples. The results are displayed to the user, who verifies that the tagged examples match the selected knowledge nodes. Based on the user response, indices of the knowledge nodes are updated. The method may further include determining discrepancies between the existing knowledge base and the tagged examples, and further displaying the discrepancies to the user. The user can update the missing information in the knowledge base to remove the discrepancies in the existing knowledge base.

  • Patent number: 7379799
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing and classifying faults in a system is provided. The method comprises acquiring operational data for at least one of a system, one or more subsystems of the system or one or more components of the one or more subsystems. Then, the method comprises analyzing the operational data using one or more diagnostic models. Each diagnostic model uses the operational data to determine a probability of fault associated with at least one of the one or more components or the one or more subsystems. Finally, the method comprises deriving an overall probability of fault for at least one of the system, the one or more subsystems, or the one or more components using the one or more probabilities of fault determined by the one or more diagnostic models and one or more hierarchical relationships between the subsystems and components of the system.

  • Patent number: 7103610
    Abstract: A method of integrating case based reasoning data and FMECA data for product life cycle support. The method comprises creating an access path to case based data using a FMECA classification. The creating includes receiving a case based record including heading data. The heading data includes data elements and the data elements are correlated with data fields in a FMECA database. The FMECA database is searched for an entry that includes one or more of the data elements. The creating further includes determining if the entry should include a reference to the case based record. A new pointer to the case based record is inserted if the determining results in finding that the entry should include a reference to the case based record. The method for integrating case based reasoning data and FMECA data further comprises receiving a request from a user to access the case based data. The case based data is accessed via the FMECA database using the access path in response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20040123233
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for automatically tagging documents with a given set of user-defined tags. The present invention takes as input the document to be tagged, and also a list of tags along with keywords belonging to these tags. The present invention then selects a tag, and scans the document for sentences that have keywords corresponding to the selected tag. Sentences that match the keywords are tagged with the selected tag. Once the whole document has been scanned, the present invention selects the next tag and repeats the whole process. This process is repeated until all tags have been seen.

  • Publication number: 20040117354
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product is provided for tagging various portions of documents and measuring their usefulness for a particular purpose. The method takes a document that is to be tagged as input, and facilitates a user to tag various portions of the document, which the user considers as important. These tags are user-defined. Subsequently, the usefulness of the document for a particular purpose is determined by calculating quality of the document. The quality of a document is a combination of completeness and various other factors such as priority and severity as reported by a customer. Quality is used to sort results of a search query, which is made by the user, on the documents.
