  • Publication number: 20240252776
    Abstract: A patient interface includes a plenum chamber pressurisable to a therapeutic pressure, and a seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to seal with a region of a patient's face surrounding an entrance to a patient's airways. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in the plenum chamber throughout a patient's respiratory cycle in use. The patient interface also includes a positioning and stabilizing structure configured to hold the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes a rear strap arranged to contact an occiput of the patient's head. The rear strap is constructed from a first material is arranged to contact a temporal region of the patient's head, and a second material arranged to contact the occiput of the patient's head. The second material is silicone.

  • Publication number: 20220414153
    Abstract: A document management system analyzes document clauses using document clause clusters. The document management system uses measures of similarity between document clauses from different documents to assign clauses to clause clusters. Clause clusters may be used to perform various analyses, such as to assign clauses a classification corresponding to a relevant clause cluster. The document management system provides analyses performed using document clause clusters for user review, such as to approve clause clusters, classify clause clusters, modify clause clusters, or some combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10607469
    Abstract: One variation of a method for detecting and handling falls by residents of a facility includes: receiving a notification for a fall event from a first resident wearable device associated with a resident; determining a location of the resident within a facility at a time of the fall; in response to the notification, distributing a fall response prompt to a set of computing devices, each computing device associated with a care provider; and, in response to proximity of the first computing device to the first resident wearable device, authorizing edit permissions for an electronic incident report by a first care provider exclusive of a second care provider.

  • Patent number: 9703863
    Abstract: Data is received that characterizes each of a plurality of documents within a document set. Based on this data, the plurality of documents are grouped into a plurality of stacks using one or more grouping algorithms. A prime document is identified for each stack that includes attributes representative of the entire stack. Subsequently, provision of data is provided that characterizes documents for each stack including at least the identified prime document to at least one human reviewer. User-generated input from the human reviewer is later received that categorized each provided document and data characterizing the user-generated input can then be provided. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9667514
    Abstract: A sampler tool for an electronic discovery system implementing an electronic discovery workflow is provided. The sampler tool defines a workflow, identifies, a data set, then calculates results and generates reports and archival records. In particular, the sampler tool calculates and/or obtains various metrics characterizing the workflow and generates reports based on such metrics. These reports can serve as historical snapshots which can be used for quality control purposes and/or to provide support regarding the efficacy of the data selection process or large-scale document review in the context of the electronic discovery process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 8769708
    Abstract: A litigation discovery document system is provided to help identify documents that might be privileged. In particular, a system is described in which documents within a document set are compared against one or more data sources which store data that indicate whether a particular document is privileged or potentially privileged. Human reviewers can confirm whether such determinations are accurate. Analytic reports can be provided which characterize the underlying methodology used to make such determinations. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
