  • Publication number: 20230351193
    Abstract: A system for identifying connections between individuals based on relationships found in data. The system includes a database containing data records and fields and identifying individuals involved in each record. The database is provided to a computer which executes a machine learning algorithm configured to identify connections between the individuals based on clusters in the data contained in the database, where the machine learning algorithm provides output data identifying clusters of activity relationships, a group label for each cluster when known, and scores for each of the individuals for each of the clusters in which they appear. A communication system algorithm sends actionable communications to particular ones of the individuals based on the output data. Unsupervised learning may be used for initial system training, and supervised learning for ongoing training.

  • Publication number: 20230342361
    Abstract: A system and method for determining whether an entity is acquiring duplicate data using a machine learning model. The system includes a repository having a plurality of databases that store data and information in a format accessible to users, and a back-end server operatively coupled to the repository and being responsive to the data and information from all of the databases. The back-end server includes a processor for processing the data and information, a communications interface communicatively coupled to the processor, and a memory device storing data and executable code. The code causes the processor to collect data and information from the databases, store the collected data and information in the memory device, process the stored data and information through the machine learning model to determine whether the entity is acquiring duplicate data, and transmit a communication on the interface identifying that the entity is acquiring duplicate data.

  • Publication number: 20230334526
    Abstract: A system and method generate location-based real-time pop-ups to user portable devices utilizing a computing system storing target information and user profiles and providing a downloadable pop-up display application. A user portable device running the application sends user identification and current location information to the computing system. The computing system uses the current location and the stored user profile associated with the identified user to select relevant stored target information and send the selected information as pop-up data to the portable device across a wireless communication channel only when the user portable device current location is within the predetermined distance of the associated target location. The application generates pop-up images from the received pop-up data on the portable device display for use by the user in purchasing products and/or services from the targets.

  • Publication number: 20230294524
    Abstract: Systems and methods for energy management of vehicles are provided. A controller may control conduction of generated electric current from one or more traction motors of a vehicle to both a first energy assembly and a second energy assembly. The controller may control conduction of the generated current based at least in part on a measured or estimated value for a rate and/or an amount at which the electric current is generated by the traction motors. The controller may direct a first portion of the generated current to the second energy assembly and a second portion of the generated current to the first energy assembly based on the measured or estimated value for the rate and/or the amount at which the generated current is generated by the traction motors.

  • Publication number: 20220117730
    Abstract: Methods for the conditioning of bioprosthetic material employ bovine pericardial membrane. A laser directed at the fibrous surface of the membrane and moved relative thereto reduces the thickness of the membrane to a specific uniform thickness and smooths the surface. The wavelength, power and pulse rate of the laser are selected which will smooth the fibrous surface as well as ablate the surface to the appropriate thickness. Alternatively, a dermatome is used to remove a layer of material from the fibrous surface of the membrane. Thinning may also employ compression. Stepwise compression with cross-linking to stabilize the membrane is used to avoid damaging the membrane through inelastic compression. Rather, the membrane is bound in the elastic compressed state through addition cross-linking. The foregoing several thinning techniques may be employed together to achieve strong thin membranes.

  • Publication number: 20220079752
    Abstract: A valved conduit including a bioprosthetic valve, such as a heart valve, and a tubular conduit sealed with a bioresorbable material. The bioprosthetic heart valve includes prosthetic tissue that has been treated such that the tissue may be stored dry for extended periods without degradation of functionality of the valve. The bioprosthetic heart valve may have separate bovine pericardial leaflets or a whole porcine valve. The sealed conduit includes a tubular matrix impregnated with a bioresorbable medium such as gelatin or collagen. The valved conduit is stored dry in packaging in which a desiccant pouch is supplied having a capacity for absorbing moisture within the packaging limited to avoid drying the bioprosthetic tissue out beyond a point where its ability to function in the bioprosthetic heart valve is compromised. The heart valve may be sewn within the sealed conduit or coupled thereto with a snap-fit connection.
