Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to a location-based and population-based health metric processes. In one example, a computer-implemented method for generating one or more predicted health metrics for a location includes receiving a request to assess the one or more health metrics associated with the location, and identifying at least one current or future built, social, or natural environment parameter associated with the location. The method may further include calculating one or more predicted health metrics associated with the location based upon at least one of the current or future built, social, or natural environment parameters associated with the location, monetizing the healthcare costs of the predicted health metrics and displaying the one or more predicted health metrics and costs.

The memory chip includes circuitry to cause the row to be refreshed if the count value is deemed to have reached the threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a mounting assembly for attaching medical equipment to a patient table. In one particular embodiment, the present disclosure provides a mounting assembly for attaching a magnetic field generator to a patient table. The mounting assembly allows for the secure attachment of the magnetic field generator to the patient table while also allowing for easy adjustment of the positioning and location of the magnetic field generator, even after the patient is on the table. In many embodiments the mounting assembly is comprised of a mounting apparatus that attaches directly to the patient table and first and second side rails that attach to the magnetic field generator and are configured to slidably attach to the mounting apparatus. In some embodiments, the mounting apparatus and side rails are constructed of a material that provides little or no interference with the magnetic field generator.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device provides an input flow of liquid from a single inlet into an internal manifold, and distributes or divides the input flow from the manifold into a group of individual liquid circuits that direct respective output flows to outlets, from which controlled volumes of liquid can be dispensed into respective containers such as the wells of a multi-well plate. The volume of liquid dispensed into one container may be different from that dispensed into another container. Each liquid circuit may include a valve that regulates the liquid flow in that liquid circuit, which may be based on feedback from flow rate sensors. Two or more liquid dispensing devices may be stacked horizontally to provide additional unique liquid circuits and different liquids if desired.

Abstract: Fuses can store different delay states to cause execution of a command to be staggered for different memory dies of a memory package. Fuse arrays can be included in the memory package and programmed to cause execution of a command to be delayed by different amounts for different dies. The fuse arrays can be fabricated and then programmed to cause different delays for different dies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic health data processing are disclosed. One or more complaints are extracted from question and answer data of an automated patient interview. A parent-child symptom mapping is referenced to identify a respective parent symptom corresponding to each complaint. Based on the question and answer data, a presence or absence of evidence of the child symptoms associated with each identified parent symptom is determined. The child symptoms are categorized into a positive or negative category based on the determination. An object is generated that includes, for each of the complaints, a positive and negative list of any of the child symptoms included in the positive and negative category, respectively. The object is processed to generate a history of present illness (HPI) portion of a notation in a graphical format. The notation is stored in the patient's electronic health record, and a healthcare provider notification is transmitted.
