The workflow template can accelerate the design and construction of custom automation workflows. An orchestration layer included in the workflow construction system will also improve the performance of systems that execute the automation workflows by dynamically scaling the processing capacity, memory, and storage of servers and other systems hosting the model file instances of the automation workflows to ensure the available resources meet the demands of users completing processes using the automation workflows.

Abstract: A system that synchronizes waveforms received over a network from one or more devices, such as medical devices. Because of network delays or losses, waveforms can arrive at varying rates and times. Precise post-synchronization of the received data, to within a few milliseconds, is needed for accurate analysis. Applications include automatic classification of waveforms, such as detection of myocardial infraction from heart monitor waveforms. Synchronization uses sequence numbers assigned by each device, but must also account for sequence number wraparounds. Waveforms may also be synchronized across devices, by calculating the bias between within-device synchronized times and a common time source or common disturbance. Waveform data may also be stored data in a database or data warehouse; embodiments may index the data using a key with a date-time prefix and a hash code suffix, to support distributed indexing while reducing the chance of hash collisions to a very small probability.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions of hydrogels and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: A memory circuit includes an array of memory cells arranged with first word lines connected to a first sub-array storing less significant bits of data and second word lines connected to a second sub-array storing more significant bits of data. A row decoder circuit coupled to the first and second word lines generates word line signals. A word line gating circuit is configured to selectively gate passage of the word line signals to the second word lines for the second sub-array in response to assertion of a maximum value signal. A data modification circuit performs a mathematical operation on data read from the array of memory cells, and asserts the maximum value signal if the mathematical operation performed on the less significant bits of data from the first sub-array produces a maximum data value.
