  • Publication number: 20230085426
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230058543
    Abstract: A method for measuring experience quality. The method including: receiving key experience aspects (“KEAs”); administering pre-surveys to a representative subset of the experience audience, including an importance pre-survey requesting relative importance between the KEAs; and perception pre-survey requesting how closely perceptions align with each KEAs; calculating importance weights and perception weights based on the pre-surveys; performing a general survey process that includes surveying the experience audience to provide a quality rating indicating how well each of the KEAs was delivered based on their own experience; and calculating an Experience Index score as a measure of the quality of the experience that is an aggregation of the received quality ratings weighted by at least one of the importance weights or the perception weights.

  • Publication number: 20230039856
    Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver a flow of positive pressure respiratory gas to an entrance of a patients airways. The patient interface includes an elastomeric support wall forming at least part of a plenum chamber configured to receive the flow of positive pressure respiratory gas. The patient interface also includes an elastomeric support flange positioned at an end of the elastomeric support wall and extending radially inward from the support wall. The support flange has a flap portion at a central superior region of the support flange that extends further in the radially inward direction than the rest of the support flange. In addition, a foam cushion is mounted on the support flange. The foam cushion is configured to form a seal with the patients face and includes an attachment surface that is in contact with an outer surface of the support flange.

  • Patent number: 11513010
    Abstract: 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.
