  • Patent number: 11933606
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel alignment system has a plurality of cameras, each camera for viewing a respective target disposed at a respective wheel of the vehicle and capturing image data of the target as the wheel and target are continuously rotated a number of degrees of rotation without a pause. The image data is used to calculate a minimum number of poses of the target of at least one pose for every five degrees of rotation as the wheel and target are continuously rotated the number of degrees of rotation without a pause. At least one of the cameras comprises a data processor for performing the steps of preprocessing the image data, and calculating an alignment parameter for the vehicle based on the preprocessed image data.

  • Patent number: 11931608
    Abstract: A system for dispensing flame retardant foam on the exterior of a structure. The structure has an opening that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto the roof. The system includes a foam distribution system having a foam expansion chamber and a roof plenum for delivery through the roof opening. Foam solution and compressed air are combined in a conduit and supplied to the foam expansion chamber. The structure may have at least one wall. In that case, the system may have a wall plenum for delivery of flame retardant foam from the foam expansion chamber through a first wall-associated opening. Each such wall will have an opening associated with the wall that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto that wall.

  • Publication number: 20240053307
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a repetitive portion identification and weighting engine. A machine learning model is trained for weighting repetitive portions of patient electronic medical records (EMRs). A repetitive portion identification component applies a plurality of templates to clinical notes of a patient EMR to identify one or more candidate portions that match at least one of the plurality of templates. A content analysis component performs content analysis on the one or more candidate portions to determine whether each given candidate portion is relevant. A weighting component assigns a relative weight to each given candidate portion based on relevance.

  • Patent number: 11144544
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for generating answers to questions. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an input query, identifying a plurality of candidate answers to the query; and for at least one of these candidate answers, identifying at least one proof of the answer. This proof includes a series of premises, and a multitude of documents are identified that include references to the premises. A set of these documents is selected that include references to all of the premises. This set of documents is used to generate one or more scores for the one of the candidate answers. A defined procedure is applied to the candidate answers to determine a ranking for the answers, and this includes using the one or more scores for the at least one of the candidate answers in the defined procedure to determine the ranking for this one candidate answer.

  • Patent number: 10902038
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for generating answers to questions. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an input query, decomposing the input query into a plurality of different subqueries, and conducting a search in one or more data sources to identify at least one candidate answer to each of the subqueries. A ranking function is applied to each of the candidate answers to determine a ranking for each of these candidate answers; and for each of the subqueries, one of the candidate answers to the subquery is selected based on this ranking. A logical synthesis component is applied to synthesize a candidate answer for the input query from the selected the candidate answers to the subqueries. In one embodiment, the procedure applied by the logical synthesis component to synthesize the candidate answer for the input query is determined from the input query.

  • Publication number: 20190333274
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implementing an augmented reality display via a head mounted display (HMD) system that indicates areas of a patient's body corresponding to a medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlayed on the actual view of the patient. A real-time image of an area of a patient's body being viewed by a medical professional is captured via the HMD system. One or more body parts of the patient are identified within the real-time image. The one or more identified body parts are correlated with the patient's electronic medical records (EMRs) indicating the medical condition and/or treatments associated with the patient. An augmented reality display is then generated in the HMD system of one or more areas of the patient's body corresponding to the medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlaying the real-time image of the area of the patient's body.
