  • Patent number: 11915127
    Abstract: A system includes first, second and third input data sets. The first input data set includes demographic information characterizing a patient. The second and third input data sets characterize a healthcare treatment history of the patient. A neural network includes first, second and third neural subnetworks. The first neural subnetwork is configured to process the first input data set to produce a first output data set. The second neural subnetwork is configured to process the second input data set to produce a second output data set. The third neural subnetwork is configured to process the third input data set to produce a third output data set. An autoencoder layer has an input layer comprising the first, second and third output data sets and is configured to process the first, second and third output data sets to produce a secondary output data set.

  • Patent number: 11768996
    Abstract: A unified framework for healthcare workflows to introduce multiple integrated approaches to error analysis. A first approach uses machine learning to extend probabilistic record linkage and apply it to the task of reconciliation, classifying changes between datasets as intentional or unintentional. A second approach uses process mining to extract maximum information about process diagrams and process bottlenecks.

  • Patent number: 9345260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a nonalcoholic beverage by fermentation, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a providing a macerated cereal extract, (b) producing a wort from the cereal extract, (c) treating the wort from step (b) with Lactobacillus microorganisms in order to obtain a sour wort, (d) mixing the sour wort from step (c) with a liquid containing sugar and treating the mixture with Lactobacillus microorganisms in order to obtain a fermented beverage, (e) heating the fermented beverage obtained from step (d) and then cooling said fermented beverage, (f) mixing the beverage, and (g) performing further treatment steps for stabilizing, clarifying, and completing the beverage.

  • Publication number: 20100324959
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for processing shipment status events. An instance of a first event is obtained from a carrier. The instance of the first event is associated with a shipment in transit with the carrier, and the first event is associated with a set of first events used by the carrier to describe shipment status. The instance of the first event is mapped to an instance of a second event. The second event is associated with a set of second events, each describing a shipment status and being normalized with respect to sets of first events associated with multiple carriers. At least one action based at least in part on the instance of the second event is implemented.

  • Patent number: 5148949
    Abstract: A scent dispensing system for use by hunter's or the like when a flexible bottle of scent, with a small aperture at the bottle's bottom is placed in a special holster which attaches to the hunter's foot at the ankle whereby liquid scent is forced out a drop at a time as the hunter walks to his or her hunting post. Pressure created by the action of the foot hitting the ground coupled with the pressure created by the expansion of the leg muscle and movement of the hunter's ankle as the hunter walks forces the scent to drip out a drop or two at a time. The holster has a pouch for holding the bottle made of a flexible material which is attached by a strap of elastic material. The ends of the strap are attached around the leg of the hunter by a conventional fastener. A wedge of rigid material is positioned in the pouch behind the bottle to assure that the scent will hit the ground and not the hunter or his boots.

  • Patent number: 4495034
    Abstract: A system for treating waste effluent and recovering solids and solvent material including a reservoir mounted on a stand connected by means to a solvent migrator including an adjustable trough for receiving new solution, a secondary reservoir with a cloth or absorbent material designed to contact the fluid in the secondary reservoir, while parallel to the sun's rays, an automatic leveling means and apparatus for recirculation of waste effluent including a leveling ball, and suction tubing for the recirculation of fluid, a solar unit comprised of glass panels to form a collecting dome with collecting troughs and a bonnet to shade the top of the pyramid formed by the dome panels and mirrors for the reflection of sunlight, all of which is connected to a chemical trap and subsequently a collecting means for the pure product.
