Abstract: Systems and methods for starting an engine of a hybrid vehicle that is in a creep mode are presented. In one example, a torque converter lockup clutch is released and vehicle speed is closed loop controlled in response to a request to start an engine. The vehicle speed is controlled so that a torque disturbance related to closing a driveline disconnect clutch may be reduced.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data analysis system that may automatically generate memory-efficient clustered data structures, automatically analyze those clustered data structures, and provide results of the automated analysis in an optimized way to an analyst. The automated analysis of the clustered data structures (also referred to herein as data clusters) may include an automated application of various criteria or rules so as to generate a compact, human-readable analysis of the data clusters. The human-readable analyses (also referred to herein as “summaries” or “conclusions”) of the data clusters may be organized into an interactive user interface so as to enable an analyst to quickly navigate among information associated with various data clusters and efficiently evaluate those data clusters in the context of, for example, a fraud investigation. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to automated scoring of the clustered data structures.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for news events detection and visualization. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided for news events detection and visualization. The method includes, for example, obtaining one or more user inputs, determining, based on the user inputs, an entity and a date range, obtaining one or more documents associated with the entity and with dates within the date range, the one or more documents being grouped into one or more clusters, and the clusters being grouped into one or more megaclusters, and presenting the one or more documents on one or more timelines, wherein the one or more documents are grouped into different megaclusters being presented in a visually distinct way. The method further allows for filtering of the one or more clusters based on a value associated with the one or more clusters.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain including an electric machine and a traction battery. The vehicle also includes at least one controller programmed to, during a transmission shift event, cause the electric machine to absorb torque. The torque absorption causes current generated by the electric machine to charge the battery according to a predetermined power transfer schedule defining a charge limit. The controller is further programmed to permit the current to exceed the charge limit for a predetermined duration of time in certain instances.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for active column filtering. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided for active column filtering. The method includes providing a table having data values arranged in rows and columns, providing a first filter location indicator whose location is visually associated with a first column, and providing a first interface based on a selection of the first filter location indicator, wherein the first interface's location is visually associated with the first column. The method also includes acquiring a first filter input entered into the first interface, filtering the table based on the acquired first filter input, providing the filtered table for displaying, and providing an applied filter indicator, whose location is visually associated with the first column, the applied filter indicator including at least the first filter input.

Abstract: The invention provides a monitor for measuring blood pressure and other vital signs from a patient without using a cuff. The invention provides a hand-held device for measuring vital signs (e.g.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that graphically allow health insurance company personnel to identify patient diagnoses that are not accounted for by the health insurance company. Furthermore, the various systems and methods graphically allow health insurance company personnel to identify patients that have not submitted claims for documented ailments or conditions. Thus, the health insurance company may be able to improve its chances of receiving transfer payments from other health insurance companies and/or receiving higher star ratings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in the design of a rear-steer collapsible, in particular the invention relates to a number of safety enhancing features that provide a safer and more versatile rear steer portable wheelchair.

Abstract: A system and method for problem list categorization and management in an electronic health or medical record includes matching each entry in the list with an interface terminology concept, grouping related concepts together into one or more categories, and grouping entries into one or more nested sets of problems. Groupings are accomplished by analyzing semantic distances between concept elements to determine which entries are duplicates according to the interface terminology and which are different but related to sufficiently similar concepts. Certain elements will be sufficiently related that they are nested or clustered within a single problem list element. Others are different enough to merit different elements but classification within a common category of problems.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a carriage that is movable with respect to a base, and a locking apparatus having first and second components, each having teeth that inter-engage such that, during movement of the carriage relative to the base, one of the first and second components imparts movement to the other, the locking apparatus further including a locking member having teeth for selectively inter-engaging the first and second components, the locking member being movable between a non-locking state, where the locking member teeth do not engage the teeth of the first and second components, an intermediate state, where the locking member teeth engage the teeth of the first component, and a locking state, where the locking member teeth engage the teeth of both of the first and second components, the locking member being moved between its intermediate and locking states by moving the first component relative to the second component.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for extending an engine-off period of a hybrid vehicle while reducing engine cold-start emissions. During an engine pull-up to meet operator demand, the engine is held at a higher power for a longer duration to aggressively heat the exhaust catalyst. Subsequently, the engine is pulled up to a lower power and held at the lower power for shorter bursts of time to activate the exhaust catalyst.

Abstract: The display of a multi-column table can be optimized. For example, a container, such as a multi-column table, can have a first container width. The container includes first text, second text, and a divider, such as an icon, whitespace, or text, between the first text and the second text. The first text, the second text, and the divider can have a combined text width. The container can be resized to a second container width that is smaller than the first container width. If it is determined that the combined text width is then greater than the second container width, the first text, the second text, or both can be abbreviated until the combined text width is less than the second container width.
