Publication number: 20230085426Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for efficient and intelligent source reductions for querying multiple sources over an external network. A medical history request for a patient is received from a requestor via a network. A set of providers is identified from a provider database based at least on the history request, and a set of physical addresses is generated based at least on the set of providers. The set of physical addresses are filtered according to filter criteria to generate a filtered set of physical addresses. Computing systems, of respective providers, which respectively correspond to the filtered set of physical addresses are queried over an external network to generate a query result that includes history information for the patient and that is representative of querying each computing system associated with the unfiltered set of physical addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Joseph Jerome Athman, Jeffrey Paul Larsen, Michael James Androff, Matthew Alen Bates, Eric James Mulek, Kelly Frances Bundy

Patent number: 11513010Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for temperature monitoring for integrated circuits, and in particular to temperature monitoring using a locked-loop circuits, e.g. FLLs, PLLs or DLLs. According to embodiments a locked-loop circuit includes a controlled signal timing module, wherein the timing properties of an output signal (SOUT, SFB) are dependent on a value of a control signal and on temperature. A controller compares a feedback signal (SFB) output from the timing module to a reference signal (SREF) and generates a control signal (SC) to maintain a desired timing relationship. A temperature monitor monitors temperature based on the value of the control signal. For FLLs and PLLs the signal timing module may be a controlled oscillator.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Cirrus Logic, Inc.Inventors: John Paul Lesso, Gordon James Bates
