  • Publication number: 20250118447
    Abstract: A method and system addresses the circumstance where a lack of confidence in the impairment rating has arrested the impairment rating process and additional data collection is no longer possible. One or more incomplete data sets are compared to and corrected with a high accuracy database containing reviewed historical impairment data. An analysis of the data outputs a temporary impairment rating and a recovery score index, which yields a corrected and substantially accurate impairment rating report which can be used within the managed impairment repair process as the worker's compensation claim moves toward claim closure.

  • Patent number: 12267400
    Abstract: A central database system provides predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering to guide a user to a web page. After tracking a number of web pages viewed by various users on one or more web domains and the orders in which these web pages are viewed, the central database system can train a model to predict which web page a user is likely to view next. If the user is lost while navigating, the central database system may guide the user to the predicted web page. In one example of guidance, the central database system presents a web element with a hyperlink to the predicted web page. For example, the central database system can modify a web page that the lost user is presently viewing to include an iframe with a recommendation to travel to a different web page.

  • Patent number: 12264663
    Abstract: A tubing assembly is provided that can comprise a plurality of tubes or lumens that can be disposed within a head of a peristaltic pump. The tubing assembly can provide a flow rate or volume capacity that is generally equal to or greater than that achieved with a comparable prior art tube while operating at higher pressures than that possible using the prior art tube. Further, in accordance with some embodiments, the tubing assembly can achieve a longer working life than a comparable prior art tube, and the load on the pump motor can be reduced such that the pump life is increased and/or a larger pump motor is not required to achieve such advantageous results.

  • Patent number: 12257623
    Abstract: Methods of additive manufacturing using noble metals and/or copper metal, and binder compositions for use during the additive manufacturing methods, are generally described. In some instances, the methods of additive manufacturing include de-binding (and in some cases sintering steps) that afford metal-based composites, de-bound metal structures, and metal objects containing noble metals (e.g., silver, gold, platinum) and/or copper that have improved properties, such as relatively high densities. In certain aspects, combinations of certain metal powders (e.g., noble metal and/or copper powders) with certain binder compositions may result in improved properties of resulting metal objects produced by the additive manufacturing process, such as relatively low surface roughnesses. The binder compositions described may include a low molecular weight polymer (e.g., including an acrylic acid repeat unit) and, in some cases, a cross-linking agent.

  • Publication number: 20250093106
    Abstract: An infrared sensor positioned in a reflow oven includes a reflow oven and a first IR sensor turret suspended over a conveyor surface of the reflow oven, where a directional movement of the first IR sensor turret matches a directional movement of the conveyor surface. A method for managing the IR sensor turret positioned in a reflow oven includes locating, by a first IR sensor turret, a point of interest on a PCBA, where the PCBA is positioned on a conveyor in a reflow oven. The method further includes tracking, by the first IR sensor turret, the point of interest on the PCBA, where the PCBA is moving along the conveyor in the reflow oven. The method further includes capturing, by the first IR sensor turret, a first set of thermal data at the point of interest for a first subarea of the reflow oven.
