Patent number: 10713384Abstract: A relational database is transformed so as to obfuscate secure and/or private aspects of data contained in the database, while preserving salient elements of the data to facilitate data analysis. A restructured database is generatively modeled, and the model is sampled to create synthetic data that maintains sufficiently similar (or the same) mathematical properties and relations as the original data stored in the database. In one example, various statistics at the intersection of related database tables are determined by modeling data using an iterative multivariate approach. Synthetic data may be sampled from any part of the modeled database, wherein the synthesized data is “realistic” in that it statistically mimics the original data in the database. The generation of such synthetic data allows publication of bulk data freely and on-demand (e.g., for data analysis purposes), without the risk of security/privacy breaches.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Kalyan Kumar Veeramachaneni, Neha Patki, Kishore Prabhakar Durg, Jeffrey Steven Wilkinson, Sunder Ranganathan Nochilur

Publication number: 20190358434Abstract: A guide extension catheter may include a proximal shaft and a tubular distal sheath including an exchange channel allowing for access (e.g. side access) into the lumen. Guide extension catheters may be used in conjunction with a guide catheter and a medical device having a distal region disposed within the guide catheter and a proximal region disposed outside of the guide catheter. A portion of the proximal region of the medical device can be passed through the exchange channel and into the lumen, and the guide extension catheter can be advanced into the guide catheter over the medical device without removing the medical device from the guide catheter. The exchange channel can extend in a straight line path along the sheath, or may extend in an indirect path along the sheath.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Applicant: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: JEFFREY STEVEN FULLER, BRIAN J.

Patent number: 10152877Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the adaptive detection of audio alarms. A system comprises a microphone configured to receive a series of sounds, a memory configured to store a defined set of alarm templates, a communications network interface, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive and analyze sounds for alarm or background sound characteristics and compare them to a defined set of alarm templates stored in the memory. If not contained in the defined set of alarm templates previously stored in the memory, new alarm templates are learned and stored. An alert is then transmitted to a client device that an audio alarm has been recognized.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC IT CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen Paul Linder, Jeffrey Steven Young
