Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems for compressing and strapping loads with press-type strapping machines having improved platen control. The system includes first and second strapping machines each configured to compress and strap a load. The first strapping machine applies a compressive force to the load until a target compressive force is reached and then straps the load. The second strapping machine compresses the load until the height of the load is substantially the same as the height of the load when the first strapping machine strapped the load. The second strapping machine then straps the load. The system ensures the height of the load is substantially the same during each strapping operation.

Abstract: High-speed data communication devices, e.g., repeaters, interfacing between a host and a peripheral operate such that high-speed components except for a host-side squelch detector are set or maintained in a deactivated state during an idle period of a micro frame. In an example, a start of a micro frame is detected on a data bus during a first time period. In a second time period after the first time period, the high-speed communication device determines whether at least one data packet is contained in the micro frame. When it is determined during the second time period that no data packet is contained in the micro frame, active components, except a squelch detector, are controlled to be inactive during a third time period after the second time period.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods built for predictively timing the inflation and/or deflation of an intra-aortic balloon pump. A controller operates in three states: (1) initialization state, (2) learning state, and (3) peak detection state. The controller decomposes a patient's electrocardiogram signal to a power signal. It then learns characteristics of the patient's electrocardiogram signal during the learning state and computes adaptive threshold parameter values. During the peak detection state, the controller applies the learnt threshold parameter values on a current electrocardiogram signal to identify occurrence and timings of R peaks in the electrocardiogram signal. The R-to-R peak timings are then used to trigger inflation of an intra-aortic balloon pump.
