Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a patient evaluation system that predicts a revenue stream corresponding to a patient if admitted into a healthcare facility. In one embodiment, the patient evaluation system parses medical records corresponding to a patient to automatically identify inputs into a daily rate calculator for determining a reimbursement or cost rate (e.g., a daily rate) corresponding to the patient. In addition to determining this rate, the patient evaluation system can use a ML model to estimate or predict the length of stay of the patient. Using the reimbursement or cost rate and the predicted length of stay, the patient evaluation system can estimate or predict the revenue stream corresponding to patient's stay at the healthcare facility. This information can be output in a graphical user interface which can be used to decide whether or not to recommend the patient be admitted to the healthcare facility.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a patient evaluation system that generates tags for a patient that, e.g., an evaluator can use to determine whether a particular healthcare facility can meet the needs of the patient. The patient evaluation system can scan a patient's medical records to identify keywords or phrases that can be used to generate tags. The patient evaluation system can then assign a visual indicator to the tags to represent the tags' relevance to a particular health care facility. For example, if a tag indicates the patient needs a complex medication which the facility does not have, this tag is assigned a visual indicator a low compatibility with the healthcare facility. These tags, along with their visual indicators, can then be displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) for the evaluator to then make a recommendation whether to transfer the patient to the healthcare facility.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an automated reconciliation system that can detect census data discrepancies between two computing systems and perform automatic reconciliation. A first computing system is a source of truth for the census data, while a second computing system maintains its own copy of the census data. When its census data is updated, the first computing system can push census event notifications to the second computing system so it can update its copy of the census data. In one embodiment, the second computing system includes an error detector to identify when a census event received from the first computing system results in an unexpected census state. In response, the second computing system can perform an automatic reconciliation to correct the discrepancy by requesting a history of census events from the first computing system that can be used to rebuild the census data at the second computing system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for assigning yield and revenue values to web page content in real time. The method and system may comprise the steps of: providing a script component and an application server; prompting a user to embed the script component into a web page; analyzing the ad metadata of the web page; sending, based at least in part on the ad metadata and the visitor metadata, the event to the application server; analyzing the event; determining, based at least in part on the event, the one or more ads that would be displayed on the web page; and determining a revenue data based on the one or more ads. Each event may comprise: an ad name data, ad size data, ad keyword data, and an ad traffic source data. The visitor metadata may comprise: a location of the user, a device type of the user.

Abstract: A system (and method) includes a seating platform, at least one sensor for detecting a state of the seating platform connected to a first wireless communications device, the first wireless communications device for conveying information on the state of the seating platform, and a second wireless communications device for receiving information from the first wireless communications device, and a computing system. The second wireless communications device is for receiving the information carrying signal and is connected to the computing system. The computing system is for initiating an action based upon the information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for presenting personalized information to consumers in a retail environment. A personalized price is determined for at least one product that is in physical proximity to the customer. The physical proximity may be determined, for example, by evaluating identifiers, such as RFID tags, associated with each customer and product. A personalized message can be also presented to a customer regarding at least one product that is in physical proximity to the customer. The personalized message can provide, for example, dietary or safety information relevant to the customer and at least one product in the proximity of the customer. The personalized information may be determined based on one or more personalized message rules.

Abstract: An optical waveguide (11) includes a region (22) which, after electrical poling of a guiding region (16), maintains an internal electric field induced by the poling potential. The internal electric field may arise from charge separation between regions (18, 20) induced by an adjacent poling electrode (12A), and region (22) acts to inhibit decay of the space charge and to increase the lifetime of the induced electro-optic effect. The waveguide may comprise a twin hole optical fiber (11) with internal electrodes (12A, 14A), where the region (22) comprises a borosilicate layer concentrically disposed about one of the electrodes.

Abstract: A method of thermally poling a silica based waveguide (12) comprises exposing a region of the waveguide (12) to an electric field (for example, via capillary electrodes (22, 24) inserted into holes in the waveguide); directing a laser beam (18) into the region exposed to the electric field to effect localized heating of the region via direct absorption; and scanning the laser beam (18) over the region at a rate selected to avoid heating of the region above the glass transition temperature. Reversing the electric field while scanning the laser beam (18) allows the formation of periodic poled gratings. The waveguide (12) can comprise an optical fiber.

Abstract: A server computer updates client computers' copies of subscription files stored on a network. The server computer retrieves a database record from a subscription database. The database record includes at least client computer and subscription file information. The server computer checks the subscription file stored on the network for any changes which may have occurred to the file since the previous checking of the subscription file preferably by comparing the last save time stamp to a time stamp on the subscription file stored on the network. If changes have occurred, the server computer creates an update file for the client computer and transmits the update file to the client computer, preferably by electronic mail. Each database record may further contain a check interval indicating the periodicity of the checking of the subscription file for changes. The database record may further contain a time last checked field which is updated each time the subscription file is checked for changes.

Abstract: A method of inducing or enhancing the electro-optic properties of an optically transmissive material such as an optical fiber (1) which comprises applying an electric field by means of electrodes (4) to the optical fiber and subjecting the material to UV radiation (9).
