  • Publication number: 20220115141
    Abstract: The tiered assessments disclosed herein are used to aid a health care professional in determining if a patient is eligible for specialized health care (e.g., hospital-level care) delivered in the patient's home. A mobile acute care unit arrives at the patient's home, performs an initial assessment of the patient on-site, and performs the medical services that the mobile acute care unit is capable of in the patient's home. If the patient is in need for further services that the mobile acute care unit cannot provide, the mobile acute care unit could trigger a secondary (or tiered) assessment to aid a health care professional in determining if a specialized mobile care is appropriate for the patient's needs. The secondary assessment includes an evaluation of the patient's home as it relates to the ability of a specialized mobile care unit to render services safely and effectively.

  • Patent number: 11182540
    Abstract: An electronic input document presented on a display of a client is examined to identify a text unit in the electronic input document and contextual information about the input document. A set of annotations for the text unit and the input document are determined responsive to the contextual information for the text unit. Responsive to the set of annotations, a set of candidate texts are identified from a corpus of documents that can replace the text unit. The candidate texts are evaluated in the set of candidate texts to identify a subset of the set of candidate texts as a set of replacement texts for the text unit. At least one replacement text from the set of replacement texts is presented on the display of the client.

  • Publication number: 20210358525
    Abstract: Video may be edited to include collaborations by users. Collaborations may be added to the video and associated with a span of the video. The span of the collaborations may be determined according to an action that is received from a user contemporaneously with the playback of the video. In some cases, the span of the collaborations may be determined automatically by analyzing the collaboration and the video frames to which the user initial added the collaborations. Analysis of the collaborations and video frame may be used to determine span criteria for the frames of the video that should be associated with the collaborations.

  • Publication number: 20210314403
    Abstract: A versioned file storage system (VFS) and method for operating and using the same is disclosed. In an aspect, a mechanism is provided wherein a first VFS interface unit coupling the VFS to a local data storage system is replaced with a second VFS interface unit in a coordinated procedure for taking the first unit offline, making a reliable snapshot of its data and cache structure in the VFS, and loading the same data and cache structure into the second VFS interface brought online. The first and second VFS interfaces transfer the necessary data to achieve the switch through respective side-loading daemons running in each interface. Clients in the local data storage system experience minimal interruption of services in the VFS.

  • Patent number: 11131998
    Abstract: Example systems and methods are disclosed for implementing vehicle operation limits to prevent vehicle load failure during vehicle teleoperation. The method may include receiving sensor data from sensors on a vehicle that carries a load. The vehicle may be controlled by a remote control system. The load weight and dimensions may be determined based on the sensor data. In order to prevent a vehicle load failure, a forward velocity limit and an angular velocity limit may be calculated. Vehicle load failures may include the vehicle tipping over, the load tipping over, the load sliding off of the vehicle, or collisions. The vehicle carrying the load may be restricted from exceeding the forward velocity limit and/or the angular velocity limit during vehicle operation. The remote control system may display a user interface indicating to a remote operator the forward velocity limit and the angular velocity limit.

  • Publication number: 20210295859
    Abstract: This specification describes computer-implemented methods and systems. One method includes receiving, by a neural network of a speech recognition system, first data representing a first raw audio signal and second data representing a second raw audio signal. The first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal describe audio occurring at a same period of time. The method further includes generating, by a spatial filtering layer of the neural network, a spatial filtered output using the first data and the second data, and generating, by a spectral filtering layer of the neural network, a spectral filtered output using the spatial filtered output. Generating the spectral filtered output comprises processing frequency-domain data representing the spatial filtered output. The method still further includes processing, by one or more additional layers of the neural network, the spectral filtered output to predict sub-word units encoded in both the first raw audio signal and the second raw audio signal.
