  • Publication number: 20240071623
    Abstract: A system that can receive non-clinical data related to an individual from one or more third party servers, and clinical data for that individual from one or more healthcare systems. The system can also pre-processes the non-clinical data and the clinical data, such as, for example, reduce the cardinality of the data and standardize the formatting of the data. The system can further project a propensity of the individual for developing at least one chronic disease by correlating the non-clinical data with the clinical data. Further, the system can identify, for each chronic disease, non-clinical factors that positively or negatively affect the propensity of the individual to develop that chronic disease, and generate a portal for display a projection for the individual to develop the chronic disease(s). At least a portion of the non-clinical risk factors can be identified by the system distilling information from secondary guidelines.

  • Patent number: 11882585
    Abstract: Methods are provided for managing frequency channels in a shared spectrum available to a radio local access network (RLAN) access point (AP) in a wireless network. The methods may comprise receiving a request for channel availability from the RLAN AP to access the shared spectrum, computing, based on a plurality of parameters associated with the RLAN AP, an RLAN service area (RSA) associated with the RLAN AP, retrieving one or more incumbent protection contours (IPCs) associated with one or more incumbent users in the wireless network, identifying an IPC, among the one or more retrieved IPCs, that overlaps with the RSA associated with the RLAN AP, determining, based on the identified IPC, available frequency information corresponding to the received request for channel availability, and transmitting, to the RLAN AP, a channel availability response comprising the available frequency information.

  • Patent number: 11234135
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing frequency access in a shared spectrum available to a radio local access network (RLAN) in a wireless network. A shared spectrum system may perform operations including retrieving a plurality of parameters for one or more high-priority users in the wireless network; computing, based on the retrieved parameters, a plurality of interference-to-noise power ratio (I/N) contours; storing the plurality of I/N contours in a database; receiving, from an RLAN device in the wireless network, a request for spectrum availability, wherein the received request includes at least a first value; extracting, based on the first value in the request for spectrum availability, an I/N contour from the database matching RLAN parameters; determining, based on the extracted I/N contour, available frequency information corresponding to the received request for spectrum availability; and transmitting, to the RLAN device, the available frequency information.

  • Publication number: 20140286177
    Abstract: An approach for lawful intercept of over-the-top (OTT) communications is described. A request is received to intercept one or more OTT communications. Such interception can be part of a legal mandate of an appropriate law enforcement agency. One or more session and flow identification signatures associated with a packet-based network are determined. Signaling and media traffic associated with the one or more OTT communications are identified, translated and delivered to the law enforcement agency.

  • Publication number: 20140201074
    Abstract: One or more servers may determine delivery charge information for delivery of a content file to a user device; receive a first set and a second of preferences identifying whether the delivery of the content file can be charged to an account of the user device or to an account of the one or more servers; generate a delivery instruction based on the first set of preferences, the second set of preferences, and the delivery charge information, the delivery instruction identifying a first charge value and a second charge value; receive a request for the content file from the user device; and cause a billing settlement function to be performed to assess the first charge value to the account of the user device or to assess the second charge value to the account of the one or more servers based on delivering the content file to the user device.

  • Patent number: 6028664
    Abstract: A method and system for establishing a common reference point on a semiconductor wafer inspected by two or more scanning mechanisms. The semiconductor wafer includes a plurality of dies of identical size, each die being generally rectangularly shaped and having four corners. Adjacent dies are separated by a die street, the sum of the width of a die and the width of a die street equaling a die period. The method includes scanning the semiconductor wafer with a first scanning mechanism to establish a first coordinate system for the wafer. The first scanning mechanism determines a point on the wafer to be the center of the wafer which is assigned a first coordinate value relative to the first coordinate system. The location of the common reference point in the first coordinate system is calculated as the die corner which is within half the die period from the first coordinate value, the common reference point being assigned a second coordinate value in the first coordinate system.
