  • Patent number: 12657478
    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for automated dynamic data quality assessment. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification includes the actions of receiving a data quality job including a new data sample; and, if the new data sample is determined to be added to a reservoir of data samples, sending a quality verification request to an oracle; receiving a new data sample quality estimate from the oracle; and adding the new data sample and estimate to the reservoir. A second aspect of the subject matter includes the actions of receiving, from a predictive model, a judgment associated with a new data sample; analyzing the new data sample based in part on the judgment to determine whether to send a new data sample quality verification request to an oracle; and, if a new data sample quality estimate is received from the oracle, determining whether to add the new data sample and the judgment to the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20260021248
    Abstract: An automated medication administration system that is employed with an integrated cartridge assembly in response to the acute medical condition. The pump assembly is configured to engage the cartridge assembly having at least a first container containing saline and a second container containing a medicament. The engagement of the cartridge assembly transitions a gate member of the cartridge assembly from a locked position to an unlocked position. The pump includes a drive assembly that is configured to convey repeated doses of the medicament in accordance with a treatment protocol when the gate member is in the unlocked position. Each dose of the medicament is followed by a dose of the saline.

  • Publication number: 20250067468
    Abstract: An electric process heater has a vessel containing a fluid and a plurality of elongated heating elements extending inside the vessel parallel to a central axis of the electric process heater. The plurality of elongated heating elements includes a first subset of elongated heating elements having a higher surface flux than a second subset of elongated heating elements. The electric process heater includes baffles to redirect a flow of the fluid over the elongated heating elements to improve heat transfer. The flow includes a parallel flow zone of parallel flow where the fluid flows parallel to the elongated heating elements and a crossflow zone of perpendicular flow where the fluid flows perpendicularly to the elongated heating elements.

  • Publication number: 20250043992
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electric process heater having a vessel containing a fluid, a plurality of elongated heating elements extending inside the vessel parallel to a central axis of the electric process heater, wherein the heating elements comprise fins. Baffles are disposed at axial intervals inside the electric process heater to redirect the flow of fluid over the heating elements to provide improved heat transfer between the heating elements and the fluid inside the vessel. The baffles include flow-through heating element support holes for receiving and supporting the elongated heating elements. Each of the plurality of flow-through heating element support holes has a plurality of element-contacting tabs that protrude radially inwardly to support the heating elements within the baffles. The tabs define a plurality of gaps through which the fluid flows between the baffles and the heating elements to reduce a thermal differential at a heating element-baffle interface.

  • Patent number: 11990419
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing physically unclonable function (PUF) circuitry at a substrate which supports coupling to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. In an embodiment, the substrate comprises an array of electrodes which extend in a level of metallization at a side of the insulator layer. A cap layer, disposed on the array, is in contact with the electrodes and with a portion of the insulator layer which is between the electrodes. A material of the cap layer has a different composition or microstructure than the metallization. Regions of the cap layer variously provide respective impedances each between a corresponding two electrodes. In other embodiments, the substrate includes (or couples to) integrated circuitry that is operable to determine security information based on the detection of one or more such impedances.
