  • Patent number: 11188589
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable storage media, and computer systems for associating received medical imaging data with stored medical imaging data. Medical imaging data associated with a patient is received from a client device. The medical imaging data includes an image object, one or more data objects related to the image object, and metadata associated with the patient encoded in Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) format. The metadata includes personal information about the patient, and time and location at which the DICOM image file was captured. The received metadata is compared with existing metadata associated with multiple existing patients to identify a subset of the existing patients who may be a potential match to the patient. Selection of an existing patient from among the subset is requested. When received, the medical imaging data is associated with the existing patient.

  • Publication number: 20210345886
    Abstract: In an aspect, there is provided a temperature scanner for measuring a temperature of a selected area on a human subject having a first eye and a second eye. The temperature scanner includes an infra-red sensor, a first reflective surface region, a second reflective surface region, and a controller. The infra-red sensor has a selected field of view so as to detect a temperature of the selected area of the human subject when the selected area is positioned to completely fill the field of view. The first reflective surface region is concave, has a first principal axis, and has a first focal point along the first principal axis. The first reflective surface region and the second reflective surface region are positioned relative to the infra-red sensor such that positioning the first eye of the human subject at a selected first eye position and positioning the second eye of the human subject at a selected second eye position positions the selected area of the human subject to completely fill the field of view.

  • Publication number: 20210286943
    Abstract: A method for improving designs of electronic message templates based on identified variations includes importing, by a capture engine executing on a first computing device, an email template into an email client. The method includes rendering the email template in the email client. The method includes generating a screen shot of a portion of the rendered email template. The method includes comparing, by a comparison engine, the generated screen shot with an archived screen shot of the rendered portion. The method includes determining that a first level of variation between the generated screen shot and the archived screen shot exceeds a first threshold level of variation. The method includes transmitting, by an alert engine executed by the first computing device, to a second computing device, a notification of the first level of variation and a recommendation to modify the email template to minimize the first level of variation.

  • Patent number: 10954748
    Abstract: A sleeve on a downhole work string or a completion string may be actuated without movement of the work string, by positioning the work string within the completion string such that a sleeve positioned in a recess on a surface the work string or the completion string, in combination with surfaces of the work string and the completion string define a chamber on a side of the sleeve. A fluid may be pumped from a fluid source through a fluid passageway in the work string to the chamber for forcing the sleeve to actuate from an open position to a closed position or vice versa. In some aspects, multiple sleeves may be actuated concurrently via additional fluid passageways that are in fluid communication with one another. In some aspects, multiple sleeves may be actuated independently via additional fluid passageways that are fluidly isolated from one another.

  • Patent number: 10920514
    Abstract: A completion running tool includes a body that defines a central flow passage and one or more radial flow ports. A piston is coupled to the body at a releasable coupling and positioned for longitudinal movement within a piston chamber defined radially between the body and an outer shroud. A prop sleeve is positioned in the central passage and defines one or more apertures that facilitate fluid communication between the central passage and a piston setting chamber via the one or more radial flow ports. The prop sleeve is movable within the central flow passage between a first position, where the prop sleeve radially supports the releasable coupling and thereby prevents disengagement of the piston, and a second position, where the piston is able to disengage from the releasable coupling and move within the piston chamber.
