  • Patent number: 11604778
    Abstract: A method for matching an instance to exemplars within a system includes receiving a plurality of literature regarding medical subject matter; including the received plurality of literature related to the medical subject matter into a text artifact; indexing the artifact using encodings to derive an initial code signature; deriving association rules from the artifact seeded by the signature to obtain a list of terminology to code mappings; receiving extensions to each of the code mappings to augment the mappings with the received extensions; indexing the artifact using the received extensions to obtain an exemplar code signature for the certain subject matter; and storing the generated exemplars for matching and instance; receiving an instance and generating an instance code signature using the received extensions; matching the instance code signature to one or more exemplar code signatures.

  • Publication number: 20210326040
    Abstract: Keyboard-based search of local and/or connected digital media items may be facilitated. A digital media item search interface may be presented in the same view as a messaging interface. The digital media item search interface may receive input such as from an on-screen keyboard to facilitate editing of user-provided search queries and submission of the user-provided search queries. The digital media item search interface may present digital media item tags relating to context information based on input received by the digital media item search query field. The digital media item search interface may present visual previews of local and/or connected digital media items corresponding to digital media item tags presented in the digital media item tag field. The digital media item search interface may receive user selections of individual digital media items to be communicated to one or more other users via the messaging interface.

  • Patent number: 10467214
    Abstract: A method for matching an instance to exemplars within a system includes receiving a plurality of literature regarding medical subject matter; including the received plurality of literature related to the medical subject matter into a text artifact; indexing the artifact using encodings to derive an initial code signature; deriving association rules from the artifact seeded by the signature to obtain a list of terminology to code mappings; receiving extensions to each of the code mappings to augment the mappings with the received extensions; indexing the artifact using the received extensions to obtain an exemplar code signature for the certain subject matter; and storing the generated exemplars for matching and instance; receiving an instance and generating an instance code signature using the received extensions; matching the instance code signature to one or more exemplar code signatures.

  • Publication number: 20180268540
    Abstract: A method for indicating and computing displacement of Elements with respect to corresponding Design Locations of the Elements. The method comprising loading, through a data interface, data describing a set of measurements (Measurement Data) of one or more Elements in a Scene. The method further comprising receiving data describing the geometry of one or more Elements (Design Models) that are expected to exist in the Scene. The method further comprising receiving data describing the Design Location(s) of these Elements. The method further comprising enabling a user to place a graphical representation of the Design Model in an Approximate Installed Location indicated by the Measurement Data. The method further comprising measuring and reporting the spatial differences between the Design Location and an Approximate Installed Location as indicated by the user-positioned graphical representation of the Design Model.

  • Patent number: 6706994
    Abstract: A welding torch assembly includes a torch body, a plurality of quick connect fittings and an elongated electrically insulated handle. The torch body includes a plurality of utility supply lines extending from the torch body with one of the quick connect fittings coupled at an end of each of the utility supply lines. The handle is shaped to engage at least a portion of the torch body and extend over at least one of the fittings.

  • Patent number: 5140877
    Abstract: A hexagonal wrench is provided with three equally spaced grooves of varying depth adjacent an end of the wrench to define three flat side ball-shaped members, the end ball of which is adapted to be inserted in a complementary hexagonal socket of a screw-threaded member. The grooves vary successively in depth with the groove furthest from the end being the shallowest groove so as to provide increased resistance to breakage. A modified hexagonal wrench is comprised of a stub shank of hexagonal cross-sectional configuration secured to an end of a flat elongated strip to facilitate operation of the wrench in areas of small clearance.
