  • Patent number: 11960840
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each query word of a query to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens represents different meanings of a word of the query. The method further includes obtaining a first identigen selection for a first query word from the first set of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules and based on the first identigen selection, the sets of identigens to produce a query entigen group. The method further includes accessing a knowledge database utilizing the query entigen group to produce a response entigen group. The method further includes generating a response to the query using the response entigen group, where the response includes at least one response word.

  • Patent number: 11954696
    Abstract: A computer system identifies supplemental materials most effective at increasing adherence for each of a plurality of different medications and provides the materials at an optimal point in time. An example method generates a first user interface for receiving an electronic prescription for a patient for a prescribed substance. Responsive to receiving the electronic prescription, the method includes obtaining adherence data for the patient, identifying supplemental programs associated with the prescribed substance from a database of supplemental programs, generating a second user interface that presents the supplemental programs for selection by the health care provider, and responsive to receiving selection of at least one of the supplemental programs in the second user interface, providing the supplemental programs to the patient. The supplemental programs identified from the database are associated with at least one rule relating to adherence data that is met by the adherence data for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240070395
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining a set of identigens for each phrase word of a phrase to produce sets of identigens. A set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a phrase word of the phrase. The method further includes obtaining sensor information for one or more phrase words of the phrase. The method further includes selecting an identigen of a first set of identigens based on the sensor information to produce a first identigen selection for the first set of identigens having a selected meaning of one or more different meanings of the first phrase word. The method further includes interpreting remaining sets of identigens of the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group so that the entigen group represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase.

  • Patent number: 11784829
    Abstract: A phytosanitary treatment blockchain is generated from automatically gathered phytosanitary treatment records. The phytosanitary treatment records are generated by matching authenticated treatment data with authenticated identification data. Matching may be based on geolocation, timestamps, or both. Authentication may be based on digital signatures using private key encryption. Separate treatment sensors and identification sensors automatically gather information about a phytosanitary treatment and the item being treated. The gathered information is encrypted and transmitted to blockchain members that perform authentication, matching, and generation of the phytosanitary treatment blockchain. A tracking code may be issued for each treatment. The tracking code is used to obtain an authentication of the treatment that indicates whether the treatment passed or failed.

  • Patent number: 11381061
    Abstract: A system for servicing cable includes a field-end assembly and a live-end assembly, each mounted on a support structure having at least one drive mechanism operable to cause relative linear movement between the field-end assembly and the live-end assembly. A drilling-and-shorting assembly can create a short circuit in a field-end of the cable, and a continuity tester can test the integrity of the short-circuit. The field end of the cable can then be ejected from the system, and an end-cap-cradle assembly can position an end cap on a live end of an electrical cable and test its installation.
