  • Publication number: 20220027667
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating sets of candidates comprising images and places within a threshold geographic proximity based on geographic information associated with each of the plurality of images and geographic information associated with each place. For each set of candidates, the systems and methods generate a similarity score based on a similarity between text extracted from each image and a place name, and the geographic information associated with each image and each place. For each place with an associated image as a potential match, the systems and methods generate a name similarity score based on matching the extracted text of the image to the place name, and store an image as place data associated with a place based on determining that the name similarity score for the extracted text associated with the image is higher than a second predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210383701
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a model of a vehicle to a rider. In an embodiment, the systems and methods determine that a driver has accepted a task to operate a vehicle from a first location to a rider location. The systems and methods then access a model corresponding to the vehicle, determine a direction of movement of the vehicle, and determine a relative orientation of the vehicle with respect to the rider based on the first location, the direction of movement of the vehicle, and the rider location. The systems and methods generate for display, on a client device of the rider, the model at an angle determined based on the relative orientation.

  • Publication number: 20210322131
    Abstract: A device for cleaning a medical scope includes a container, a first tube, a second tube, a first nozzle, and a second nozzle. The container is configured to receive a first portion of the medical scope. The first tube and a second tube are configured to supply a liquid into the container for cleaning the first portion of the medical scope. Each tube is partially positioned within the container. A first nozzle is positioned at a first end of the first tube, and is configured to direct the liquid to a first crevice near an elevator of the medical scope. The second nozzle is positioned at a first end of the second tube, and is configured to direct the liquid to a second crevice near the elevator of the medical scope.

  • Publication number: 20210290418
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for bypassing stomach and creating a barrier for the proximal small bowel to include duodenum and jejunum so that food delivered is directly in the jejunum that results in weight loss. The technique involves placement and fixation of a gastric bypass device within the stomach to cover the small bowel. The present invention also provides a device and method which enables the suturing of the gastric bypass device. The duodeno-jejunal barrier remains unchanged and helps in bypassing the absorptive surface of the proximal small bowel.

  • Patent number: 11103157
    Abstract: Systems and methods have been developed for implementation of a portable SIBO testing system for convenient sampling of intestinal gases exhaled from a patient's breath. These devices may be in the form of a hand held meter that would integrate with a smartphone or other device with an application that can record data relating to food consumed by a user. Various technologies may be utilized to measure the levels of gases exhaled by a user, which may include (1) sorbent based technology and (2) membrane based technology. In some examples, the system will determine an indication of whether a patient has SIBO by adjusting a change in exhaled hydrogen concentration by a methane level exhaled by a patient.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated providing support for an application are described. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring user interaction with a user interface to detect an occurrence of a condition indicative of a user requiring assistance with a user interface element. The example method may also include accessing executable code of the user interface to extract parameters of the user interface element. The example method may also include evaluating the user interaction and extracted parameters to identify entity objects that are used to query a documentation dictionary to identify documentation topics. The documentation topics are ranked based upon a strength of a correspondence between content within the documentation topics and the entity objects. The example method may also include rendering a documentation topic based upon a rank of the documentation topic.

  • Publication number: 20210177303
    Abstract: Systems and methods have been developed for implementation of a breath testing system for convenient sampling of intestinal gases exhaled from a patient's breath. This may include a system with a manifold that includes thermal regulation components, for instance thermistors and resistive heating elements, which maintain the temperature of the gases above the body temperature of the patient. In some examples, the system will determine an indication of whether a patient has SIBO by adjusting a change in exhaled hydrogen concentration by a methane level exhaled by a patient.
