  • Publication number: 20240081522
    Abstract: A portable home healthcare workstation defines a wheeled enclosure and telescoping, angled worksurface transportable to a patient home or domicile bedside. A telescoping handle extends for supporting the worksurface at a suitable height, and an angular pivot allows the worksurface to be oriented for ease of access to patient records or temporary storage of medical supplies. An accessory container attaches to the telescoped uprights and provides containment of equipment and supplies, and detaches for storage in the enclosure. A stabilizer extends horizontally from the uprights, and together with the attached enclosure and base provide support on opposed sides of the uprights for maintaining a substantially vertical orientation to support the worksurface. Retraction of the stabilizer allows the worksurface to be received in the enclosure for wheeled portability, and collapsing of the telescoped uprights allows for handcarry capability.

  • Publication number: 20230388411
    Abstract: Various embodiments concern a non-transitory computer readable medium having embodied instructions, which when executed by a processor, perform steps of a method for obtaining communication data and generating activity logs. More specifically, communication data such as contact information and call time associated with communications are obtained. The obtained data is then used to generate a report including the time, duration, and project or client associated with communication. Thus, an activity log is automatically generated using the communication data.

  • Publication number: 20230343319
    Abstract: A computer implemented speech processing method for generating translated speech comprising: receiving a first speech signal corresponding to speech spoken in a second language; generating first text data from the first speech signal, the first text data corresponding to text in the second language; generating second text data from the first text data, the second text data corresponding to text in a first language; responsive to obtaining a second speech signal corresponding to the second text spoken in the first language and in a second voice: extracting first acoustic data from the second speech signal; modifying the first acoustic data based on one or more acoustic data characteristics corresponding to a first voice; and generating an output speech signal using a text to speech synthesis model taking the second text data as input and using the modified first acoustic data, the output speech signal corresponding to the second text spoken in the first language.

  • Patent number: 11771574
    Abstract: An example medical device is disclosed. An example medical device includes an expandable stent. The stent includes a tubular scaffold formed of one or more interwoven filament. The tubular scaffold includes an inner surface and a flexible valve extending radially inward from the inner surface of the scaffold.

  • Publication number: 20230056047
    Abstract: A method and system for combination therapy utilizing local drug delivery and radiotherapy at a target site of body tissue are provided. The delivery system comprises a source electrode adapted to be positioned proximate to a target site of internal body tissue. A counter electrode is in electrical communication with the source electrode, and is configured to cooperate with the source electrode to form a localized electric field proximate to the target site. A cargo may be delivered to the target site when exposed to the localized electric field. Radiotherapy is applied to the target site in combination with the local drug delivery.

  • Publication number: 20220142566
    Abstract: Articles, systems, and methods for rapid administration and active pharmaceutical compositions to subjects exposed to radiation and/or toxins are provided by this disclosure. There are currently few interventional technologies to protect against long-term morbidity and mortality from exposure to radiation and chemical warfare. Furthermore, as commercially available technologies such as additive manufacturing and small-scale chemical reactors have become more prevalent, the risk of misuse of such technologies by terrorists and rogue nation states to manufacture nuclear, radiologic, and chemical weapons continues to increase. Articles, systems, and methods described herein combine sensing technologies with drug release components, in order to provide an approach for rapid diagnosis of and response to exposure to radiation and toxic agents.

  • Patent number: 11279279
    Abstract: An evaluation engine has two or more modules to assist a driver of a vehicle. A driver drowsiness module analyzes monitored features of the driver to recognize two or more levels of drowsiness of the driver of the vehicle. The driver drowsiness module evaluates drowsiness of the driver based on observed body language and facial analysis of the driver. The driver drowsiness module is configured to analyze live multi-modal sensor inputs from sensors against at least one of i) a trained artificial intelligence model and ii) a rules based model while the driver is driving the vehicle to produce an output comprising a driver drowsiness-level estimation. A driver assistance module provides one or more positive assistance mechanisms to the driver to return the driver to be at or above the designated level of drowsiness.

  • Publication number: 20210158303
    Abstract: Various embodiments concern obtaining mobile device data and generating activity logs. More specifically, mobile device data such as data indicating the location and time of a mobile device is obtained. The time and location may be automatically obtained and recorded using location service APIs on the mobile device. The obtained data is then used to generate a report including the time, duration, and location of activities associated with the user of the mobile device. Thus, an activity log is automatically generated using the time and location data.

  • Publication number: 20210141836
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computational scheme wherein derived calculations of records contained in a disk drive are replicated in-memory and performed in the memory. database records that are generally stored in the hard drive and are temporarily replicated exactly in-memory which takes advantage of a significantly faster read/write time than the disk drive to compute derived resolutions to ad hoc queries. Ad hoc queries include a number of parameters which enable an arbitrarily large number of permutations of query type.
