  • Publication number: 20180081994
    Abstract: An example method facilitates associating data objects with elements of a process to be implemented via a process-based software application. The example method includes determining that a developer has added a particular software element to a software application being developed by the developer; accessing metadata describing the software element; and using the metadata to automatically associate the software element to one or more data objects to be used by the software element during running of the software application. A process cloud may facilitate implementing the method by automatically performing data mapping for software elements, such as approval tasks, forms, and so on, by determining appropriate task outcome data objects with reference to data characterizing a software flow of the software application, and by similarly automatically selecting and/or creating data objects for forms, which may be associated with or used by a task.

  • Publication number: 20180075048
    Abstract: Implementations include a resource compatibility engine and method configured to verify resource compatibility when importing schemas and formats such as XSD and WSDL into a database table such as a business catalog. The resource compatibility engine may be configured to prevent possible catalog corruption from importing file types that do not match. The resource compatibility engine may also be employed to identify which are the resource file types that need to be overwritten in case of an update and provides useful feedback in case the import is not successful.

  • Publication number: 20180077010
    Abstract: Implementations described herein provide a bidirectional tool configured to provide APIs to enable a cross-cluster service handshakes and design and implementation for enabling two or more instances of an application registered to one cluster and other cluster provides for multi environment interaction. Using a common service registration, users can trigger actions on different instances of the application running in different environments such as a development environment, production environment, and the like. Using the common registration, applications can scale by having extra instances running while a centralized service works as central hub were each instance is registered. Moreover, implementations include utilizing a plurality of deployment asset management layers to establish a stateless API instantiated between point-of-delivery server arrays employed to house multiple customers separated by security partitions.

  • Publication number: 20180075192
    Abstract: Systems and methods to code medical records using weighted belief networks are provided. Medical records are received, and may be subjected to pre-processing which includes deduplication of records, indexing the records, meta-tagging the records, and annotating the records. An entity extractor then generates entity dictionaries from public sources. A network creator generates a belief network based on medical relationships. An annotation aligner receives normalized annotations of historical medical records, and a network weighter assigns probability values to the belief network using the normalized annotations to generated a weighted belief network. A health care code classifier utilizes the weighted belief network to classify the medical records by comparing entities within the medical records.

  • Publication number: 20180075042
    Abstract: In one implementation, a data transformation tool is configured to allow a user to specify how types of data should be mapped to another type of data in a reusable fashion. In one implementation, the data transformation tool analyzes data selected for input, the desired data output, and determines a list of potential mappings that may be used between the compliant and non-compliant systems. The mappings may be generated through transformational expressions and defined as a data wrapper. Once the definition of the one or more mappings are defined, data transformation tool generates one or more files allowing the execution of the transformation of the input data to the output data during an execution phase, such as runtime.

  • Patent number: 9868510
    Abstract: A structure of a control surface for aircrafts, such as elevators, rudders, landing flaps, ailerons, and other similar lifting surfaces. The control surface includes a front spar, a rear spar, a plurality of ribs, at least one hinge fitting, and at least one actuator fitting, the hinge and actuator fittings joined with the front spar. A first rib is joined with a hinge fitting to form a first oblique angle with the front spar; a second rib is joined with an actuator fitting to form a second oblique angle with the front spar. The rear spar, located between the front spar and trailing edge of the control surface, extends only between the second rib and an outboard end of the control surface. The ribs are located in correspondence with the main torsion and bending load paths created in the control surface during flight, landing or takeoff.

  • Publication number: 20180011922
    Abstract: Systems and methods to automatically generate classifiers are provided. A labeled dataset is initially received. The dataset may be for a positive class, or may be a negative for a class, or a false positive class. N features that are predictive for the class (or false positive or the negative class) are identified. These features are combined within a classifier dictionary. Medical records received may be processed in order to be machine readable. Features within the medical records are identified and are compared against the dictionary of classifiers. Matches indicate classes within the medical record. The classifier dictionary may be periodically updated in response to insufficient classification accuracy, or when new data becomes available.
