  • Publication number: 20250118401
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing data about a medical encounter using neural networks. One of the methods includes obtaining features for a medical encounter associated with the patient, each feature representing a corresponding health event associated with the medical encounter and each of the plurality of features belonging to a vocabulary of possible features that each represent a different health event; and generating respective final embeddings for each of the features for the medical encounter by applying a sequence of one or more self-attention blocks to the features for the medical encounter, wherein each of the one or more self-attention blocks receives a respective block input for each of the features and applies self-attention over the block inputs to generate a respective block output for each of the features.

  • Publication number: 20170164516
    Abstract: A cooling device for an electric component may include a manifold with a coolant section having a coolant inlet trough and a coolant outlet trough. The device may further include a fluid turbulator having a turbulator plate with turbulator fins extending upwardly therefrom, and turbulator inlet openings and outlet openings through the turbulator plate, and a turbulator carrier surrounding the turbulator plate. The fluid turbulator may be installed between the coolant section and the electric component so that a heat exchange reservoir is defined by bottom surface of the electric component, the turbulator plate top surface and the turbulator carrier. Coolant from a coolant source may flow into the coolant inlet trough, through the turbulator inlet opening into the heat exchange reservoir, and out of the heat exchange reservoir through the turbulator outlet opening into the coolant outlet trough to remove heat from the electric component.

  • Patent number: 6641857
    Abstract: An edible anhydrous chocolate-based fat system is provided, having a significant granulated sugar component. This provides an unusual mouth sense, and allows for significantly different organoleptic properties of the chocolate-based fat system—which otherwise emulates chocolate. The chocolate may be light or dark, or white chocolate. An additional sweet flavor may be added to the chocolate-based fat system, allowing for a faster release of the additional flavor, by infusing or saturating the granulated sugar component of the fat system with the additional flavor. Typically, the granulated sugar component is saturated with an essential oil of a chosen flavor. Apart from the granulated sugar component, the remaining ingredients of the chocolate-based fat system are conched in the usual manner in keeping with chocolate production techniques. A process for production of the edible anhydrous chocolate-based fat system is discussed, and typical machinery for carrying out that process is shown.
