  • Publication number: 20230402178
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to autonomous assessment and treatment of a patient. In one embodiment, a method includes, responsive to acquiring, in a managing device, sensor data characterizing a condition of the patient, determining a diagnosis for the condition according to a correlation of the sensor data with a subset of markers. The method includes selecting, using a treatment model, a treatment algorithm from a set of treatment algorithms for performing therapeutic delivery using a robotic device. The method includes causing the robotic device to perform the therapeutic delivery according to the treatment algorithm selected by the treatment model.

  • Patent number: 7131788
    Abstract: A myriad of permutations of void-maintaining membrane laminates are provided. Laminates of the invention are particularly useful for providing high performance drainage within layered paved structures such as highways, airport runways and parking lots. Void-maintaining laminates of the invention comprise compression elements that are shaped, adapted and arranged to cooperate with base and upper layers such that superior flow capacities are attained through their void spaces, channels and paths, even under pressures in excess of 5,000 lbs per square inch.
