  • Patent number: 11907500
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that automatically classify, segment, and parse content data using artificial intelligence and natural language processing technology, and generate graphical user interfaces that allow end users to dynamically filter content data for display. The systems processes volumes of content data to identify interrogative data, content sources that generated the interrogative data, and subject identifiers relating to the content data. The system generates graphical user interfaces that allow end users to effectively filter the data by choosing between layouts that display one or more of the various categories of data, including the interrogative data, content source identifiers, and/or subject identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20240037584
    Abstract: A computing system is configured to generate a predictive model during training of a machine learning program using a training data set including a personal data set of a plurality of first users. The predictive model is configured to predict a first predicted assessment score at a first instance and a second predicted assessment score at a second instance with respect to a second user. The computing system determines whether the first predicted assessment score is different from the second predicted assessment score, and whether a first data entry of the personal data set of the second user changed between the first instance and the second instance. The computing system takes or recommends an action corresponding to a reversal in the change in the first data entry in order to alter the predicted assessment score of the second user.

  • Publication number: 20240037406
    Abstract: A computing system is configured to generate a predictive model during training of a machine learning program using a training data set including a personal data set of a plurality of first users. The predictive model is configured to predict a predicted assessment score of a second user. A test personal data set is generated with at least one different data entry different from the personal data set utilized in predicting the predicted assessment score, the at least one different data entry corresponding to a change in relationship between the computing system and the second user. The predictive model predicts a test predicted assessment score of the second user based on the test personal data set. The computing system takes further action with respect to the second user when a difference between the predicted assessment score and the test predicted assessment score meets or exceeds a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240020092
    Abstract: Systems and methods for contactless control of a physiological monitor are provided. A number of systems utilize an input device for audio-based control of a physiological monitor and/or an input device for gesture-based control of a physiological monitor. Many systems process audio (e.g., voice) or gesture commands to direct a physiological monitor to perform actions, such as begin monitoring, silencing an alarm, changing parameters, navigating screens and/or menus, and/or any other function. Such contactless systems reduce or eliminate physical contact with a physiological monitor, which can mitigate contamination between patients or individuals, which can occur via traditional systems.

  • Patent number: 11860824
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that automatically classify, filter, and reduce large volumes of feedback data as a function of time using artificial intelligence technology. The aggregated feedback data is reduced by representing the feedback data as sets of descriptors corresponding to one or more time periods that are displayed on a graphical user interface. Feedback data packets are parsed by labeling the feedback data packets with a time period identifier. The feedback data packets are processed utilizing neural network technology to classify the feedback data according to one or more subject identifiers that are each associated with a subject vector. A descriptor analysis is used to process the subject vectors and the feedback data packets to generate descriptor sets comprising one or more descriptors as well as weighting data for each descriptor.

  • Patent number: 11841078
    Abstract: A transmission hydraulic control system includes a manual valve, a default valve, and a clutch prime valve. The manual valve allows fluid flow from a pressurized line to a drive line when the manual valve is open (when a transmission is in drive or reverse). The manual valve prevents fluid flow from the pressurized line to the drive line when the manual valve is closed (when the transmission is in neutral or park). The clutch prime valve allows fluid to flow from the pressurized line to the drive line, and thereby bypass the manual valve, when the manual valve is closed and the clutch prime valve is open. The default valve allows fluid bypassing the manual valve to flow to prime a clutch of the transmission when the default valve is open. The clutch prime valve prevents fluid from bypassing the manual valve when the clutch prime valve is closed.
