  • Publication number: 20210287806
    Abstract: A method for remotely monitoring one or more patients may include receiving a transmission of one or more patient assessments of current health of each patient, determining a trending index for each patient based on a baseline medical risk of the patient, a social exposure risk of the patient, and at least one patient assessment for the patient; and triaging the one or more patients according to medical risk associated with the contagious disease based on the trending index. The patient assessment may, for example, include an evaluation of at least one of: at least one symptom associated with a contagious disease and at least one vital sign associated with the contagious disease. The method and associated systems may be used, for example, to monitor and/or triage patients in the outpatient setting, to help manage patients who are at medical risk for a contagious disease.

  • Publication number: 20190073607
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a system building a first machine-learning module and one or more secondary machine-learning modules for operating with an application. The first and second modules may be configured to utilize, in operation, particular types of processing hardware, respectively. The system may receive from a client device a request to download the application, and in response send to the device the application with the first module. The system may then receive another request to download a selected one of the secondary modules, which may be selected based on a determination by the application running on the device that the associated type of processing hardware is available. In response, the system may send the selected module to the device. The application may be configured to selectively use the first module or the selected module to perform an operation.

  • Publication number: 20180209866
    Abstract: An aircraft reconfigurator system reconfigures a predetermined aircraft configuration, in particular a cabin layout, for which a distance between a position of a center of gravity of the aircraft, the center of gravity being optimized with respect to aerodynamic characteristics, and the actual position of the center of gravity is determined and thereupon an element of the aircraft is selectively displaced such that the position of the center of gravity is approximated to the optimized position of the center of gravity. Afterwards, a new aircraft configuration, in which the selected element is arranged in the new position, is determined. By means of the reconfiguration of the aircraft it is possible to save fuel.

  • Patent number: 9854190
    Abstract: An image sensor with an array of pixels is provided. In order to determine failure of transient signal generation circuitry within the image sensor, monitoring circuitry may be used to capture and adjust transient signals as the signals are being transmitted. The transient signals may be voltage booster signals that are generated by booster circuitry to adjust row control signal levels to be below the ground reference voltage or above the supply reference voltage before providing them to the array of image sensor pixels. The captured and adjusted transient signals may be multiplexed and transmitted through a common buffer circuit. The method of shifting/adjusting the captured voltages may also apply to static signals. The multiplexed adjusted signals may be converted from digital signals to analog signals with digital-to-analog conversion circuitry. The digitized signals may be transmitted to host circuitry for processing which may include pass/fail testing.
