  • Patent number: 11961621
    Abstract: A method includes receiving patient health data; determining a score using a trained machine learning model; determining a threshold value using an adaptive threshold tuning learning model; comparing the score to the threshold value; and generating an alarm. A computing system includes a processor; and a memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to: receive patient health data; determine a score using a trained machine learning model; determine a threshold value using an adaptive threshold tuning learning model; compare the score to the threshold value; and generate an alarm. A non-transitory computer readable medium includes program instructions that when executed, cause a computer to: receive patient health data; determine a score using a trained machine learning model; determine a threshold value using an adaptive threshold tuning learning model; compare the score to the threshold value; and generate an alarm.

  • Patent number: 8782260
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program for providing multilevel security to a computer network. The method comprises the step of receiving a first communication packet on at least one network interface port from an outside network. The method further includes the steps of filtering the first packet in one of at least two levels of security comprising a first level of security which examines the content information of the packet and a second level of security which examines the first packet excluding the content information of the packet. The system includes a first packet filter configured to filter its input packets by examining content information of its packets and a second packet filter configured to filter its input packets by examining the header information without examining the content information of its packets. The system further includes a third filter which is configured to forward a number of packets to one of the first and second filters, thereby providing security to the computer network.

  • Patent number: 6213118
    Abstract: A vent tube has an open end adapted to communicate with an oven chamber. A catalyst is retained in the vent tube by two sets of abutments. In one embodiment, the abutments are in the form of tabs. The tabs are lanced from the wall of the vent tube and slant inwardly. The set of tabs nearer to the open end of the vent tube will flex outwardly to permit the catalyst to be inserted through the open end of the vent tube into position between the two sets of tabs. A wall of the oven chamber has an extruded hole over which the open end of the vent tube is fitted. In another embodiment, the abutments are in the form of dimples formed in the wall of the vent tube.

  • Patent number: 5893531
    Abstract: A dispenser which comprises (a) a first housing portion which is formed from at least one wall, the first housing portion wall defining a first housing portion interior and a first housing portion opening which exposes the interior of the first housing portion interior to the exterior of the first housing portion; and (b) a second housing portion formed from at least one wall; wherein one side of the second housing portion wall is configured to receive at least one end of a shaft upon which dispensable material may be placed, the shaft when present being disposed relative to the second housing portion wall so that the longitudinal axis of the shaft is offset from a plane occupied by at least a portion of the second housing portion, and wherein the second housing portion is rotatably attached to the first housing portion so that the second housing portion may be rotated about a second housing portion rotational axis, whereby upon rotation of the second housing portion the shaft when present may be revealed and
