  • Patent number: 11080486
    Abstract: A computer implemented method identifies guidelines through use of a neural network by a remote guideline server. A client computer transmits instructions to the remote guideline server to retrieve and evaluate multiple candidate guidelines. The remote guideline server utilizes a neural network to identify a string of terms found in each of the multiple candidate guidelines that match one or more strings of terms from a model guideline; to identify a semantic concept of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more semantic concepts from the model guideline; and to identify a structural pattern of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more structural patterns of the model guideline. The candidate guidelines that match the model guideline are then sent from the remote guideline server to the client computer.

  • Patent number: 10905332
    Abstract: A bone oximeter probe includes an elongated member and a sensor head at an end of the elongated member to make measurements for a bone. The measurements can indicate the viability or nonviability of the bone. In an implementation, the probe is advanced through an incision in soft tissue, towards the underlying bone, and positioned so that the sensor head faces the bone to be measured. Optical signals are sent from the sensor head and into the bone. The bone reflects some of the optical signals which are then detected so that measurements for the bone can be made. Some of these measurements include an oxygen saturation level value, and a total hemoglobin concentration value of the bone.

  • Patent number: 10838025
    Abstract: A radio-frequency system for a magnetic resonance apparatus has a local coil, a body coil, and an impedance adjusting shield. The body coil is wirelessly power-coupled with the local coil such that the body coil serves as a transmitting coil for radio-frequency signals and the local coil serves as a receiving coil for magnetic resonance signals. The local coil is disposed in an internal cavity of the impedance adjusting shield. An impedance of the local coil is adjusted by the impedance adjusting shield so as to match the impedance of the local coil and the body coil. The impedance adjusting shield has a frequency modulation element that adjusts the resonance frequency of the local coil. The body coil couples power to the local coil, and the impedance adjusting shield effectively reduces energy transmission efficiency loss caused by reflection, thereby improving energy transmission efficiency.
